Enable GraphQL subscriptions for job and allocation updates
Beta feature
Beta features should be considered “in development” and may not be fully supported or complete. Beta features are available as a preview for testing purposes and may be unstable. They should be used with caution in production environments.Overview
Skedulo for Salesforce customers might benefit from enabling the GraphQL subscriptions for job and allocation updates feature to reduce the number of API requests made between Salesforce and Skedulo for streaming updates on jobs and allocations.
Enabling GraphQL subscriptions changes where updates on jobs and allocations are sourced from in the Skedulo web application.
By default, Skedulo sources updates on jobs and allocations in Salesforce through websocket updates. Enabling the GraphQL subscriptions beta feature will pull updates on jobs and allocations from GraphQL subscriptions on the jobs and allocations schema objects.
