Study Notes

Setting up a Composable Interface with Logic

Composable architecture refers to a setup where users may not have Salesforce CPQ behind the scenes, and a custom interface is created to interact with Logic.

Creating a Runtime API Key

In Logic's administrative interface, go to Utilities > Runtime Clients to create a new runtime API key.
Give the key a name, e.g., "training", and add origins (e.g., URL website or local environment) to ensure secure access.
Save the key and copy the generated token.

Configuring Postman

Postman is a tool for interfacing with APIs and other activities from a desktop computer.
Download a Postman environment file and collection from Logic IO's page in Z-Way.
Configure Postman's environment by setting the base URL to match the API environment (e.g., api.demo01.logic.io).
Set the UUID, token, and tenant URL (matching the Salesforce tenant URL).
Ensure the environment file is updated and saved, and select the correct environment in the upper-right drop-down.

Initializing a New Configuration

In Postman, open the "Initialize a new configuration" post and review the settings.
The auth section includes the bearer token from the environment file.
The headers include the origin configured with the token.
The body contains default information, including the configured product ID, which can be obtained from Salesforce or a custom product ID.
The fields section includes variable names and values, which can be modified after sending the initial configuration.

Sending the Initial Configuration

Click the send button to initialize the configuration and receive the necessary information to start configuring the product (e.g., the reclining chair).
