This release notes provides a summary of new features, enhancements, and resolved issues in the Zuora 360 Version 3.3 (Release Q3 2016) and its maintenance and patch releases.

This release is part of the Zuora for Salesforce Q3 2016 Release that includes:

Resolved Issues

The 3.3 release includes the following resolved issue and other internal operational fixes.

Communication Profile Id Incorrectly Populated with the Communication Profile Name

Starting in the Version 3.0 of Zuora 360, the Communication Profile Id (Zuora__CommunicationProfileId__c) field was incorrectly synchronized with the Name of the Communication Profile instead of the Id. 

In this version, a new field was added to the Billing Account (Zuora__CustomerAccount__c) object and mapped to the correct Communication Profile Id in Zuora. The new field is Zuora Communication Profile Id (Zuora__Communication_Profile_Id__c).

The previous Communication Profile Id (Zuora__CommunicationProfileId__c) field is deprecated as of the Version 3.3.

The 3.40 release includes the following updates.

Order Builder Supports Zuora Multi-entity

New versions of the zlogin method was implemented in Order Builder to support multiple Zuora entities:

  • global virtual zApi.LoginResult zlogin (String entityId)
  • global virtual zApi.LoginResult zlogin
      (String username, String password, String entityId)

The new methods let you log into a specific Zuora entity from Order Builder. See zlogin Method for detail information about zlogin method.

Entity IDs Use UUID
