Salesforce Managed Package Configuration to Platform Preview
The Composer family of packages use out-of-the-box configured Salesforce managed packages. The following instructions are for modifying the existing managed packages to use backend services from non-Production environments. In following the steps outlined, your Composer for Salesforce users are able to test upcoming releases on the Conga Platform Preview environment, prior to their release to production environments.
Connected App & Canvas Configuration
Create a new Connected App corresponding to the Preview environment.
Remote Site Settings
To use the Lightning Component, add the Remote Site corresponding to the back-end services.
Custom Metadata Configuration
Managed packages use the production backend for their environment. Below are the steps to create a different environment. Creating a new Region/Environment is a one-time step per region per environment, while selecting a different region can be done as many times as needed.
Create a new Region/Environment
Hostname: rlspreview-composer.congacloud.com
Connected App Name: Conga_Composer_RlsPreview
Create a new Region for Trigger
To display the correct environment on the Trigger Dashboard:
Navigate to Setup > Custom Metadata Types > Conga Trigger Region > Manage Conga Trigger Regions. Click New.
- Input the appropriate region name:
Region Hostname - Trigger North America (NA) preview-workflow.congamerge.com Europe (EU) eu-preview-workflow.congamerge.com Asia Pacific (AP) ap-appreview-workflow.congamerge.com
Navigate to Setup > Custom Metadata Types > Conga Trigger Settings > Manage Conga Trigger Settings. Click Edit, and then select the new region you've created for the Conga Trigger Region field.
