Can Salesforce and Cloud Compliance offer consent and preference management functionality that fully integrates?

Let’s take a look at the demo video that has a custom branded preference center. This HTML5 web app has a Node JS backend that is running on Google’s Firebase.

It is a demo website with a hardcoded server-side Salesforce authentication for a specific user and updates their preferences.

 

This website has checkboxes that correspond to the logged-in user’s preferences on a Salesforce instance.

As these preferences are checked on & off, the Node JS App utilizes Cloud Compliance’s APIs to create opt-out and opt-in Salesforce records.
