Universal Containers (UC) is a global financial company. UC support agents would like to open bank accounts on the spot for customers who inquire about UC products. During the bank account opening process, the agents execute credit checks for the customers through external agencies. At any given time, up to 30 concurrent reps will be using the service to perform credit checks for customers. What error handling mechanisms should be built to display an error to the agent when the credit verification process failed?

A customer is evaluating the Platform Events solution and would like help in comparing/contrasting it with Outbound Messaging for real-time/near-real time needs. They expect 3,000 customers to view messages in Salesforce. Which three considerations should be evaluated and highlighted when deciding between the solutions? (Choose three.)
A. Number of concurrent subscribers to Platform Events is capped at 2,000. An Outbound Messaging configuration can pass only 100 notifications in a single message to a SOAP end point.
B. Both Platform Events and Outbound Messaging offer declarative means for asynchronous near-real time needs. They aren’t best suited for real-time integrations.

A. Make an Apex callout using @future annotation to make the callout to all different agencies. The response should update the trainer status to “verified”.
B. Use middleware to handle the call out to the 10 different verification services, the middleware will handle the business logic of consolidating the verification result from the 10 services, then make a call-in to Salesforce and update the verification status to “verified”.
C. Create a trigger on the trainer record to make a callout to each verification agency’s, write business logic to consolidate the verification then update the trainer status to “verified”.
D. Use Salesforce External Service to make the call out; Salesforce External Service should check the verification agencies until the result is verified, then update the trainer status to “verified”.
A business-to-consumer (B2C) enterprise customer has the following use case that involves processing payment from an external payment gateway service in Salesforce. 1. Customer requests Customer Service Representative (CSR) for a Service upgrade. 2. Customer provides credit card details to CSR for payment. 3. CSR submits payment information in Salesforce, and it is processed in an external payment gateway. 4. CSR receives confirmation of payment. 5. CSR upgrades service for customer and confirms customer.
