Conga CPQ Integration Guide
Integrate Conga CPQ with Salesforce, ERP, contract, billing, and provisioning systems through REST APIs, Salesforce platform APIs, scheduled workflows, and selected event mechanisms.
Conga CPQ integration options at a glance
Conga CPQ is commonly deployed on Salesforce, making Salesforce REST, SOAP, Composite, and Bulk APIs important integration surfaces for products, price lists, configurations, quotes, and orders. Conga also provides product-specific APIs for selected applications, although the applicable endpoints and authentication depend on the deployment and edition. Event-driven designs may use Salesforce Platform Events, Change Data Capture, outbound messaging, or custom callbacks for selected objects and events; universal Conga CPQ webhook coverage is not confirmed. Martini can authenticate with OAuth 2.0, orchestrate synchronous and scheduled workflows, process paginated or bulk data, map CPQ structures to downstream systems, expose controlled APIs, and route failures for retry or review.

Authentication and security considerations
Salesforce-hosted authentication
Salesforce-hosted Conga CPQ integrations commonly use OAuth 2.0, connected apps, access and refresh tokens, scopes, profiles, permission sets, and Salesforce API access. The integration user must have object-, field-, and record-level access to the relevant Conga package objects and fields.
Conga-specific authentication
Authentication for Conga product-specific APIs depends on the product, deployment model, tenant, endpoint, and API version. Confirm the applicable Conga developer documentation before implementation.
Martini security model
- Store credentials, tokens, endpoints, and environment settings as secured configuration.
- Use least-privilege integration users and restrict access to required Salesforce and Conga objects.
- Keep authentication logic and secrets separate from mappings and business rules.
- Protect Martini APIs with appropriate authentication and authorization policies when exposing a façade to downstream systems.
Operational considerations for Conga CPQ integrations
Limits and pagination
Salesforce API usage is governed by org-level, user, and concurrency limits. Conga operations may also perform multiple underlying Salesforce operations. Use pagination, incremental criteria, batching, Composite requests, or Bulk APIs where appropriate, and avoid unnecessary polling.
Schema and package variation
Conga CPQ object and field API names can vary by package generation, namespace, version, and customer configuration. Build mappings from the customer’s actual describe metadata and test upgrades in a sandbox or equivalent non-production environment.
Idempotency and transaction boundaries
Quote creation may involve proposal, configuration, line-item, pricing, and approval steps. Store intermediate identifiers, use stable external references, and support safe resumption after timeouts so retries do not create duplicate proposals or orders.
Commercial data quality
Define currency, tax, rounding, effective-date, discount, term, and approval rules explicitly. Treat configurations and quotes as structured commercial transactions rather than simple product lists.
Testing and monitoring
Test permissions, validation rules, managed-package upgrades, event coverage, pagination, rate-limit behavior, partial failures, and status reversals. Monitor workflow logs, correlation identifiers, retry outcomes, and row-level bulk failures.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestration beyond point-to-point calls
Martini coordinates the multi-step operations required to create configurations, price proposals, submit approvals, create orders, and update downstream systems. This avoids duplicating transaction logic across individual scripts.
Reusable integration assets
Martini can consume documented Conga and Salesforce APIs, expose controlled APIs for other applications, and centralize mappings, validation, authentication, and error policies in reusable workflows.
Reliable synchronization
Scheduled, event-driven, API-led, and batch patterns can be implemented with pagination, checkpoints, correlation identifiers, retry routing, and monitoring. This provides more maintainable control than isolated scripts that handle only successful responses.
Adaptability
Because Conga CPQ schemas and Salesforce managed-package behavior can vary by deployment, Martini workflows can apply customer-specific transformations and business rules without requiring direct database access or hard-coded assumptions about every installation.
