Description:

This Snap provides the functionality to create object records in Salesforce in asynchronous mode. The Snap in Salesforce Bulk API mode submits batch jobs and sends the batch job information to the output view for the Salesforce Poller Snap. The Snap in REST API mode creates Salesforce objects and returns results synchronously without the need of the Salesforce Poller Snap.

Prerequisites:

None

Support and limitations: Works in Ultra Task Pipelines.

Account:

This Snap uses account references created on the Accounts page of SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. See Configuring Salesforce Accounts for information on setting up this type of account.

Views:

Input	This Snap has exactly one input view and receives documents in the view. Each document contains one Salesforce record.
Output	This Snap has at most one output view and produces documents in the view. Each document contains Map data that includes: Job ID, Batch ID, URL, and an array of records if it is in Bulk API mode. If it is executed in REST API mode, each document contains Map data for the ID of the created record and input data.
Error	This Snap has one optional error view and might produce documents in the view if the input data causes an error in the REST API. Each document contains key/value pairs from the input view and an error message from Salesforce.com. The error message is in the value of the error key. If the Snap is in the Bulk API, a similar set of data is available in the error view of the Salesforce Poller Snap connected to this Snap directly or indirectly.

Batch size

In Bulk API, this property value is allowed to be from 1 through 10,000. Each input document forms one Salesforce record to be inserted. The Snap stores records in memory until the number of records reaches the batch size and sends the request to SFDC in single batch. Increasing the batch size increases the amount of memory used during the data load. Decreasing the batch size increases the number of API calls against Salesforce.

In REST API, the Snap can insert only one record per each request regardless of the value of the Batch size property.

Default Value: 200
Example: 200, 10000

Note
Validation always uses the REST API.

Object Type*

Specify the name of the Salesforce object, such as Account.

Default Value: Account
Example: AccountExample: Account
