Salesforce integration and Org Migration - salesforce

Salesforce has notified us that our org will be migrating from one instance to another in January. With regards to our Docusign integration, will this interrupt access or affect the Docusign integration otherwise?
We use mydomain, so while our hard coded org ID will change, our org url will not. Hopefully this results in no change in our integration, but I want to be sure and prepare for the change if I can.

You need to complete the steps in here and you should be fine.

We cannot support you over stackoverflow, but it's possible to update domain and orgIDs in salesforce if you follow the instructions. If you still get stuck - you'll need to contact customer support.

Enhanced Domains - What to Check in your Org?

As you know Salesforce is enforcing Enhanced Domains. I found from Salesforce help that:
Custom components in your org must be evaluated in order to check
whether they use domain name/static URLs
Some embedded content stored in Salesforce might no longer appear
Third-party applications can lose access to your data
Single sign-on integrations can fail
However, I'm struggling with finding out which particular Salesforce elements/configurations should be checked in order to detect potential gaps? Do you know which areas exactly can be affected and shall be evaluated (like Apex Codes, Email Templates and so on)? Is there any guide on that?
Your biggest concern should be inbound integrations. Things that log in over REST/SOAP API, get response with session id back, ignore the "url to use for all subsequent requests" and just use hardcoded url, whether it's prod or sandbox.
Look at this guy, he's victim of either enhanced domain or "disable api versions < 30" thing: The requested resource no longer exists with rest PHP. Look at these guys, they had hardcoded url: how to solve python code error (TooManyRedirects: Exceeded 30 redirects), Salesforce API via postman error INVALID_SESSION_ID.
As for stuff inside Salesforce itself - best would be to download whole project with sfdx and run a text search for your domain name (and site/community name if you have these). Email templates that use merge fields for forgot password etc should be fine, merge fields with record link should be fine... But if you manually craft email body in apex - might be a problem. A lot depends how creative the developer was. If you find getsalesforcebaseurl().toexternalform() it should still work. If it's hardcoded / read from custom setting / custom label / custom metadata it might be more fun.
If you have external apps that display pieces of salesforce (embedded live chat? some iframe with FAQ? CMS Connect) - the domain change might mean they need to be updated, both in terms of updating url and changing security rules (CSP for example)

Is there a way to raise SNOW ticket as notification for query failures in snowflake?

I was going through the integration documents available for snowflake & service now. But, all documents are oddly focussed on sf consuming snow data for analytics. Didn't find anything related to creating tickets for failures at snowflake. Is it possible?
It's not about the monitoring & notification aspect of snowflake but connecting with service now and raise a ticket for query failures (tasks,sp etc.)
Any ideas?
There's no functionality like that as of now. I can recommend you open an Idea for it and if enough customers want it our Product Management will review it.
For the Snowpipe, we found a way to use it. We send the error message to SNS and then we can do a Lambda function to call the Rest API of ServiceNow to create a ticket.
For Task, we find that it is possible to use External Functions to notify to AWS whenever the Task fails, but we haven’t implemented it.
Email is a simple way. You need to determine how your ServiceNow instance is processing emails. We implemented incident creation from Azure App Insights based on emails.
In ServiceNow find the Inbound Action you need to process the email or make one.
ServiceNow provides every instance with an email account
Refer to enter link description here
The instance email is usually xxxx#service-now.com.
If your instance url is "audi.service-now.com", the email would be "audi#service-now.com".
For a PDI dev#servicenowdevelopers.com, e.g.; dev12345#servicenowdevelopers.com

Looking for suggestions on web hosting solution (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, for following

I want to host a clean, branded site that allows users to submit data which I will post process on some regular cadence and send custom emails based on data processing results. I can write code and have extensive experience with AWS, but am looking for the fastest solution.
Any experienced web developers have suggestions of which hosting solution to use? Wix, Squarespace, WordPress. I would prefer Squarespace but am not finding clear documentation stating I can create a form which writes to a database (I.e. DynamoDB, Redshift).
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
Having a good deal of experience with Squarespace, I will address the question "Is it possible to connect a Squarespace form to a third-party database and, if so, by what means?". While I won't address Wix or Wordpress, hopefully it will provide some objective answers and provide some help to your larger context/question.
Squarespace doesn't support any server-side code; it only supports supports the addition of HTML, CSS and Javascript within Code Injection, Code Blocks, and Developer Mode.
Therefore, your options are:
Send the data client-side with JavaScript. Write your own HTML form and insert it via code block, markdown block, of developer mode. Then write the corresponding JavaScript to send the data, on submit, to your external database. Alternatively, use a Squarespace form block, prevent the default submission from executing and use your own methods instead.
Connect the Squarespace form block to a Google Sheet and the sheet to the external DB via Apps Script. Once connected, use Apps Script (set to trigger when a row is added to the sheet) to obtain the submission from the sheet and send it to your external database (similar to this or this, but you'll be going "the other way", sending data to the external DB from Apps Script).
Use Zapier (or similar service) to bridge the gap, either using Squarespace's built-in integration or setting up Zapier on your own and setting the Zapier email address as the email recipient. You can use Zapier to send form submissions to a new item in DynamoDB, for example. It appears that, at a minimum, you'd have to pay for Zapier as that is a "Premium Integration". For Squarespace, if you were to use their built-in Zapier integration, you'll have to pay for a higher-cost plan (which could be avoided by using the email storage option instead, as mentioned previously).
I think you should choose WordPress, they have a huge documentation, a big community, you can get a ton of support from Wordpress's users when you run into a problem.

GoogleApps Provisioning API to move a user from one organization to another

i have a use case to move a user from one Organization to another. The Api i am using is provisioning API. Managing Org Users gave an example for lab. Can anybody please share more info on what jar's need to be used to implement this. My rest of code is able to manage the other user functionallity.
My Code is in java
I am using jars gdata-appsforyourdomain, gdata-client, gdata-core and gdata-collect. These jars dont have any API's to manage the organizations with users. It would be great help if any one can share docs or any sample data on this use-case. Thanks
I was able to figure out the way by going through the source code of the labs and deployed the same.
AppsPropertyService service=new AppsPropertyService(applicationName);
service.setUserCredentials(adminUserName,Password);
GenericEntry entry = new GenericEntry();
entry.addProperty("oldOrgUnitPath",oldOrg);
entry.addProperty("orgUnitPath", newOrg);
service.update(new URL("https://www.google.com/a/feeds/orguser/2.0/"+cutomerId+"/"+MailIdofUserToBeMoved), entry);
customerid- is the unique key of the admin.

Salesforce Triggering an External Procedure

I'm not 100% sure of the terminology on how to describe what I'm looking to do, so I apologize in advance.
I have a custom entry page for an object in salesforce, and I'm curious as to whether or not it's possible to call an external website when I click the save button.
Rough Example:
User enters in a new Account and hits save.
After saving the Account, The extender class calls to a webpage that inserts an entry into an external database to let a different set of users external to salesforce know that something new has been created.
Again, I apologize. I know I'm not describing this very well. Thank you for any and all input!
Yes, it is possible. Take a look at the Invoking Callouts Using Apex section of the Apex Code Developer's Guide. Salesforce refers to this (your Apex code connecting to another web server) as an HTTP Callout.
Also, take a look at questions with the "callout" tag on the dedicated StackExchange site for Salesforce.com.
