Change Data Capture and Platform Events enable near-real-time synchronization of Health Cloud record changes to downstream clinical or operational systems. CDC automatically publishes Salesforce record changes (create, update, delete, undelete) for continuous data replication, while Platform Events allow custom event definitions for specific business scenarios like status changes.

Core information
  • Change Data Capture publishes change events for record operations (create, update, delete, undelete) that external systems can subscribe to via Pub/Sub API, CometD, or Apex triggers for continuous synchronization.
More details and nuances
  • CDC respects field-level security and delivers only fields the subscribed user can view, while Platform Events include all fields by default with no field-level security restrictions.
