Apex Metadata API

Hi @Paul Narsavage,

Currently there is no ETA for this feature to be available, however you can create and upvote for this feature.  You can check below workaround.

Thanks!

Sushil and Frans,

Thank you for the great perspective here.

At this time, we're only at the design aspect of our eventual solution. We hadn't run into an actual conflict / blocker yet, but I ran into this post mentioning it wasn't possible to utilize custom metadata in the SandboxPostCopy Interface. After seeing that, I went to Salesforce support, and they confirmed the SandboxPostCopy Interface could not directly reference custom metadata, but it looks like the support agent was unaware of the Apex Metadata API. 

I am going to update the relevant idea Salesforce support made for me, as well as the post I referenced above, to point them here that this can be done using the Apex Metadata API. Once we develop our solution, I'll plan to report back as well. 

Best,

Jack 

Hi @titan blazers,

Hope you are doing well,

To extract the attachment_url value from the JSON string in Apex, you can use the JSON.deserializeUntyped method to convert the JSON string into a map, and then traverse the map to access the desired attribute. Here's how you can do it:

String jsonString = '{ "ticket_cc_emails": [], "fr_escalated": false, "spam": false, "email_config_id": null, "group_id": 72000320936, "priority": 1, "requester_id": 72012786963, "responder_id": 72010582985, "source": 2, "status": 5, "subject": "Updated ACP Capacity", "id": 54942, "type": "SE Scheduler", "due_by": "2024-04-11T12:27:12Z", "fr_due_by": "2024-04-06T13:57:12Z", "is_escalated": false, "custom_fields": { "cf_class75953": "Configuration", "cf_subclass650579": "Availability", "cf_class832453": null, "cf_subclass605425": null, "cf_billing_subclass": null, "cf_test": null, "cf_connect_type": null, "cf_connect_subtype": null, "cf_subclass": null, "cf_priority": false }, "created_at": "2024-04-05T16:26:34Z", "updated_at": "2024-04-08T13:24:00Z", "tags": [ "SP Post Launch Adoption" ], "attachments": [ { "id": 72092546835, "content_type": "image/png", "size": 106213, "name": "Screenshot 2024-03-22 134756 (1).png", "attachment_url": "https://s3.amazonaws.com", "created_at": "2024-04-05T16:26:34Z", "updated_at": "2024-04-05T16:26:34Z" } ], "source_additional_info": null, "nr_due_by": null, "nr_escalated": false }';

// Deserialize the JSON string into a map

Map<String, Object> jsonMap = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(jsonString);

// Extract the 'attachments' array from the map

List<Object> attachments = (List<Object>) jsonMap.get('attachments');

// Check if attachments exist

if (attachments != null && !attachments.isEmpty()) {

    // Extract the first attachment object

    Map<String, Object> attachment = (Map<String, Object>) attachments[0];

    // Extract the 'attachment_url' attribute from the attachment object

    String attachmentUrl = (String) attachment.get('attachment_url');

    // Print or use the attachment URL as needed

    System.debug('Attachment URL: ' + attachmentUrl);

} else {

    // Handle case where there are no attachments

    System.debug('No attachments found.');

}

This code snippet assumes that your JSON string has been stored in the jsonString variable. It first deserializes the JSON string into a map, then extracts the attachments array from the map. It checks if the attachments array is not null and not empty. If there are attachments, it extracts the first attachment object and then extracts the attachment_url attribute from it. Finally, it prints or uses the attachment URL as needed.

Hope this content will provide more understanding to you,

Thanks!
