Creating Custom Link using API
Hi all,
I'm a newbie using salesforce Webservices API. My question is pretty straightfoward. Is there a way to create a custom link through salesforce Webservices API? If there is, may someone please write the code here to show me how? I would appreciate it if this is done in Java or VB.
Thank you VERY MUCH!!
Take care

Thanks for your information. I appreciate it a lot. Quick question, when will it be available through salesforce.com API to create custom links? It's pretty important to my company's data integration. Additionally, is there a way to retrieve data from custom link if it's already created/existed on the salesforce.com, if there is, may you or someone please share the knowledge with me?
Thank you so much!

However, with the Winter06 release you will be able to create a Custom Link, upload ( package) it to the AppExchange as a private entry, then "register" it, get a link to it, and then using this link, you will be able to deploy that custom link into any other salesforce.com orginization.
however i'm not sure i understood your question about creating a custom link, once you create one using the app, all users can access it via page layout modifications, so you should not have to re-create it.
also, i think i heard you say,
Q:how can i fire my custom link and retrieve the data ?
A:use a browser.
NOTE: i've not tried this...
this is (running a custom link or s-control) normaly done in a browser, so you would have to open ( or build and open) a browser then try calling the custom link.
this can be attempted in most popular languages, i don't know how to do it in java
NOTE: i've not tried this...

You cannot add weblinks to a page layout yet via the API
Hi Benji,
If I can only create weblinks and can not add it to a page layout, then what is the use of weblinks? Is it possible to add weblinks and have it in home page layout?
