Get Started with MuleSoft Direct for Energy Cloud
The integration assets are out-of-the-box templates with pre-built transformations that can be used to integrate with external systems.
The Energy and Utilities Cloud integration asset supports these flows:
- Create customers, accounts, contracts, premises, service points, and account hold requests.
- Request previous meter readings and add meter readings.
- Request rebill and billing adjustments.
- Request customer's financial adjustments, transactions, payments, account balance, bills, and bill line items.

Turn on an integration to configure and deploy an instance of the integration and its dependent apps in your MuleSoft instance. Enable an integration multiple times to create multiple instances of the same integration. See Enable Integrations.
After you deploy an integration app in your MuleSoft instance, you can extend the app in Anypoint Studio to meet your business needs. See Extend your Integration App.
After the integration asset is deployed, Salesforce creates a named credential for the integration instance. The named credential specifies the URL of a callout endpoint and its required authentication parameters in one definition. See Named Credentials in Salesforce Help.
