Optimizing and managing callouts using ChatGPT

Managing callouts effectively in Salesforce is essential for ensuring optimal performance, scalability, and reliability. Here are some best practices for managing callouts:

  • Bulkify your callouts: When possible, design your callouts so that they handle multiple records at a time. This will help you stay within Salesforce’s limits for the number of callouts in a single transaction.
  • Asynchronous processing: Use asynchronous Apex, such as Future methods or Queueable Apex, to perform callouts. This allows the callout to execute in the background, thereby not blocking the user interface and improving the overall user experience.
  • Error handling: Implement robust error-handling mechanisms to manage timeouts, status codes, and any other issues that might arise during the callout. Always check the response status and handle exceptions gracefully.
  • Reusable code: Create reusable utility classes and methods for making callouts...
