Salesforce Connected Apps designed to work with REST API endpoints can be time consuming and difficult to deploy, configure, and connect to.
Salesforce documentation is overly complex and their error messages provide little guidance when things go wrong. In fact, they often describe symptoms instead of causes, like "404 NOT FOUND" instead of saying "you need to be logged in to see this endpoint".
Some companies spend days or weeks attempting to properly deploy REST API solutions connected directly to Salesforce, running up costs.
For these reasons, Mazo Capital Solutions is pleased to offer our own simplified endpoint to take all of the hassle out of sending Leads to our Salesforce implementation.
Once an entry is created it can be updated simply by including the same Applicant Email, or by adding an "id" field to the payload.
Mazo Capital Solutions' custom endpoint eliminates all the hassle of creating an application that satisfies all of Salesforce's requirements. We've already done the work, so you can submit Applications here instead.
This makes it unnecessary to use a Salesforce login, or track details like token expiry and the "refresh_token" to renew your session.
Our system takes care of all the authentication stuff, so you can just send us the applicant information and not have to worry about it.
The first step is to speak to your Mazo Capital Solutions representative and let them know your dealership would like to use the endpoint.

When your application connects to the endpoint, the API Key should be in the headers of a POST request with a payload in the following format:
Header:
Authorization: Bearer API_key_supplied_by_Mazo
Not all fields are required to create a record. The minimal payload to instantiate a Lead should look like this:
{
"FirstName": "Applicant's First Name",
"LastName": "Applicant's Last Name",
"Company": "Company Legal Name",
"Phone": "Applicant's Work Phone in format: (###)-###-####",
"Email": "Applicant's Business Email Address",
"OwnerId": "Salesforce ID of Dealership's Mazo Representative",
"Dealer_ID__c": "Name of Dealership",
"Account__c": "Dealer's Salesforce Account ID in Mazo's Salesforce implementation"
}
The last three fields aren't strictly necessary, but are needed in order for the Dealership to be correctly associated with the referral.
