Scanning external systems and endpoints

If you thought the marathon of Salesforce solution building was just about the Salesforce track, prepare to embrace the detours. Picture this—your application, mid-race, takes a side route to an external application or integrates with a third-party service. Exciting? Definitely. Challenging? Absolutely.
