    is it possible to use object sync to read data in salesforce and show it on a WordPress page? We dont really need to save the data into WordPress… ideally just read it.

    Or is our only option to read the data and save it to a cpt of some sort? With object sync can we sync from Salesforce to WordPress if the data does not exist in wordpress already?

    It is technically possible, yes. The plugin has an object for the Salesforce API. You’d have to write your own code with the plugin’s developer hooks to access it though, this is not functionality that is built into the plugin. There’s a pretty small amount of info in the documentation about how to access the object itself and where to find the methods that can be run on it.

    So certainly it is possible, as long as you can compensate for the fact that the Salesforce API is often slow (generally the plugin caches API calls, so that does help, but it’s not going to help for new calls). I’ve seen a few posts about this here in the support forum, like this and this.

    In any case, I wouldn’t provide support for this, it would very much be a “do this at your own risk” kind of situation.

    I should also say that I wouldn’t recommend it. That doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work, but I wouldn’t do it.
