Salesforce’s TMF API extensibility framework enables customers to modify standard TMF-compliant APIs to meet specific business requirements while maintaining interoperability and scalability.
Customers extend TMF schemas through the TMF extension model, and Salesforce provides a backend framework that supports custom mappings, validations, transformations, and lifecycle hooks.
This framework enables customers to implement custom logic and additional attributes across TMF operations while adhering to platform guidelines for scalability, data integrity, and compliance.
