Input SOAP plugin usage

Good Morning

My question is related more to PP Classic, nor Connect but maybe You will be able to help me.

I have simply process which should pull some data from SalesForce using SOAP and after that I am sending this file into some shared folder.

But I dont know how to use this Input SOAP plugin. How this plugin works?
What should be passed inside SOAP Input Field?

There should be just a methood name or whole SOAP API URL with WSDL?

Thanks

The Input SOAP task listens for an incoming request into PlanetPress. If, instead, you want to retrieve content from an external service (SalesForce) use the SOAP Client Plugin from the Outputs palette.

In the spirit of helping out with education and examples, here are a few good resources to understand SOAP and how it relates to PlanetPress Workflow. (Note these are not my content; they originated from Objectif Lune)

I personally have found a number of limitations with the current SOAP setup in Workflow and have found it more flexible to either script the SOAP interaction or call a 3rd party exe like cURL to get the job done (lots of examples on the interwebs).

Hello Nate/Odyn

Thanks for the response. The documentation tells me that I can send base64 encoded files via Input SOAP method (which they say uses SubmitJob). However, I am not able to see any parameters on the Input SOAP plugin - Such as SOAPActionName/output etc. I have the trial version of planet press. Is this the expected behavior? Please let me know. Appreciate the resonse
