Create a Named Credential
Create a named credential for your external scheduling system. Salesforce handles all
authentication, and you can skip remote site settings, which are otherwise required for REST calls
to external sites.
A named credential specifies the base URL for REST endpoints and any required
authentication parameters in one definition, which simplifies REST call setup. If you register
the base URL in your org’s remote site settings instead, you must handle the authentication
yourself. For example, for an Apex callout, your code must handle authentication, which can be
less secure and especially complicated for OAuth implementations.
- An example URL value that references the HAPI FHIR open-source system is https://hapi.fhir.org/baseR4.
