The Salesforce Certified Platform Integration Architect (Plat-Arch-204) validates your ability to assess the architecture environment and requirements and design secure, scalable integration solutions on the Salesforce Platform. This course prepares you for the exam: evaluating the current system landscape and business needs; translating needs into integration requirements; designing integration solutions using patterns such as REST, SOAP, Platform Events, Change Data Capture, External Services, callouts and named credentials; building the solution with the right security (OAuth, SSO, certificates), API-limit awareness, error handling and transaction control; and maintaining the integration. You earn it by passing one scenario-based exam (60 multiple-choice/multiple-select questions plus up to 5 unscored, 105 minutes) delivered by Pearson VUE - at a test centre or online - with the voucher purchased through Trailhead Academy. The passing score is reported differently across sources (around 67-70%) - confirm the current figure in the official exam guide. There is no prerequisite, though solid hands-on integration experience is recommended. It is an architect-tier exam ($400 first attempt / $200 retake).
Almost every serious Salesforce implementation connects to other systems, so skilled Salesforce integration architects are in strong demand. This credential proves you can design secure, scalable integrations on the Salesforce Platform - integration patterns, APIs, events, security, API-limit awareness, error handling and middleware. Because it has no prerequisite, experienced integration professionals can pursue it directly, and it is a recognised step on the architect pathway: a component of the System Architect credential and a stepping stone toward the Certified Technical Architect (CTA).
