Apex and Flow API
The package namespace is btcveles. Every call below returns the value for the org the code runs in: production gets production's value, a sandbox gets its own.
Apex
apex
String url = btcveles.Veles.forConfig('Payment_Gateway').getText('Endpoint URL');
Decimal timeout = btcveles.Veles.forConfig('Payment_Gateway').getNumber('Timeout');
Boolean testMode = btcveles.Veles.forConfig('Payment_Gateway').getBoolean('Test mode');Veles.forConfig(configName) returns a Veles.Config with one getter per field type:
| Method | Returns |
|---|---|
getText(fieldName) | String |
getLongText(fieldName) | String |
getNumber(fieldName) | Decimal |
getBoolean(fieldName) | Boolean |
getDate(fieldName) | Date |
getDatetime(fieldName) | Datetime |
getLabel() | the configuration's label |
getFieldLabel(fieldName) | a field's label |
Use the configuration and field names, not labels. A field with no value returns null. A field of secret type Credential always returns null: it exists only to be written into a Named or External Credential by a workflow action. Masked and Protected values are returned. A blank configuration or field name throws Veles.ConfigException.
Values are cached for the Apex transaction, so calling the same getter many times costs one query.
Flow
Six invocable actions in the Veles category, one per field type: Get Text Config Value, Get Long Text Config Value, Get Number Config Value, Get Boolean Config Value, Get Date Config Value, Get Datetime Config Value. Inputs Config Name and Field Name, output Value. Same rules as Apex, including null for Credential fields.
Merge fields in workflow actions
Any action parameter can take a value from a configuration at run time, resolved on the target org:
text
{{Payment_Gateway.Endpoint URL}}
{{Payment_Gateway.Timeout:number}}
{{Payment_Gateway.API Key:text:credential}}The type suffix is optional (text, longtext, number, boolean, date, datetime). The :credential suffix is the only way to read a Credential field, and it works only in parameters that allow it, such as Authentication Parameters of Manage Credential; anywhere else it resolves to null. The action form's Insert Merge Field button writes the syntax for you.
