can an appechange product includes call outs to external system?

Hello All,

I want to create an appexhange manage package for my customers and i want to get some suggestions from you guys.

I was wondering can i call outs in some of my triggers of this package to some external system.

What are the security concerns that i would need to look after.

Thanks

Hi Shamsi,

Yes, we can call out trigger from Future Method. A future method runs in the background, asynchronously. You can call a future method for executing long-running operations, such as callouts to external Web services or any operation you’d like to run in its own thread, on its own time.

A future method can have native calls, as well as, they can make a call out to an external web service and hence, in order to enable the future method to allow callouts, an extra parameter “Callout=true” needs to be passed.

Here is the link which helps more about the future methods

Thanks.
