Siebel Open UI: How to integrate LinkedIn in Siebel ??

One of my blog’s reader asked me, How to integrate Facebook into Siebel ?? I thought what kind of requirement it could be, then I came up with a scenario where we can innovate, and dazzle our Siebel Clients….
But I have never implemented any Social integration using EAI concepts, but with the help of Siebel Open UI we gonna implement LinkedIN in Siebel…looking forward we will have fun .. :)
Scenario:
We all know that we have list of contacts inside Contact List View in Siebel App. Now, as per the requirement Client wants a button called LinkedIN Profile. And this button will popup a new window where we can see that contact’s LinkedIn profile.
Just think, to implement this what steps do we need to follow??

  • Customize UI to add button
  • Need a connection with LinkedIn
  • Search on LinkedIn for my contact
  • Customize UI to show relevant data from LinkedIn for that contact

Now with some basic research, we came to know that all Social Networks provide some API’s to integrate with and get yours relevant data. So, what about LinkedIn ??
Yes, LinkedIn needs to authorize your connection and then you can search your contacts using its API. To make it simple, let’s break into pieces….
Create your first APP on LinkedIn
Authorize your connection using APP
Search on LinkedIn using API
Customize UI to add button and show LinkedIn data in Siebel
Will try to explain each points one by one..
