Overview

Salesforce provides a cloud-based customer relationship management application. 

Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:

  • Create, update, upsert or delete objects in Salesforce.
  • Download an attachment from a record.
  • Read, look up, or query records.
  • Poll the status of a batch job.
  • Subscribe to or publish Salesforce platform event records.

This Snap Pack contains the following Snaps:

  • Salesforce Download: This Snap provides the functionality to download a file attached to a Salesforce Object.
  • Salesforce Batch Create: Create multiple Salesforce objects using the Salesforce REST API requests.
  • Salesforce Bulk Create: Create data in batches by using the Salesforce REST API requests.
  • Salesforce Bulk Delete: Delete data in batches by using the Salesforce REST API requests.
  • Salesforce Bulk Update: Update data in batches by using the Salesforce REST API requests.
  • Salesforce Bulk Upsert: Insert and update data in batches by using the Salesforce REST API requests.
  • Salesforce Create: Create objects in Salesforce.
  • Salesforce Delete: Delete objects in Salesforce.
  • Salesforce Lookup: Format the WHERE clause from the input document stream for a SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language) query.
  • Salesforce Poller: Poll the status of the batch job submitted to Salesforce by the preceding Salesforce Snaps (Create/Delete/Update/Upsert) in Bulk API mode. The Snap sends the successful record writes to the output view and the failed record writes to the error view.
  • Salesforce Read: Retrieve all the field records of the Salesforce object from Salesforce by defining the Salesforce object name.
  • Salesforce SOQL: Retrieve objects from Salesforce using a SOQL query.
  • Salesforce SOSL: Search the Salesforce objects and fields from Salesforce by defining the search statement in the Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL).
  • Salesforce Update: Update objects in Salesforce in Bulk API or REST API mode. In the Bulk API mode, the Snap provides output for the Salesforce Poller Snap; in the REST API mode, the Snap provides output synchronously without requiring a Poller Snap.
  • Salesforce Upsert: Update or insert objects in Salesforce in Bulk API or REST API mode. In the Bulk API mode, the Snap provides output for the Salesforce Poller Snap; in the REST API mode, the Snap provides output synchronously without requiring a Poller Snap.
  • Salesforce Subscriber: Subscribe to the Salesforce Platform and CDC events for a given standard and a custom Salesforce object. 
  • Salesforce Publisher: Publish Salesforce Platform Event records to a given custom Salesforce event object, which helps delivering secure and scalable custom notifications.
  • Salesforce Wave Analytics: Converts a stream of input documents into CSV data and metadata, and uploads them to Salesforce Wave Analytics as external data.

Supported Accounts

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with the SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP) and the Salesforce application.
  • Access to the Salesforce application with the required account attributes.

Supported Versions

  • This Snap Pack is tested against Salesforce Service version 31.0 to 52.0. 
  • All the Salesforce Snaps – except Salesforce Bulk Create, Salesforce Bulk Update, Salesforce Bulk Upsert, and Salesforce Bulk Delete – support Bulk API v1.0.
  • The following Salesforce Snaps support Bulk API v2.0:
    • Salesforce Bulk Create
    • Salesforce Bulk Update
    • Salesforce Bulk Upsert
    • Salesforce Bulk Delete

Note
titleBreaking change for pipelines using Salesforce Mutual Authentication Account

Breaking change:

Prior to the 436patches25192, the Salesforce Mutual Authentication Account supported default Login URLs such as https://login.salesforce.com and https://test.salesforce.com. Starting from 436patches25192, this account no longer supports the default Login URLs—your existing pipelines using the Mutual Authentication Account with the default Login URLs might break.
To prevent this breaking change, you must provide a valid Salesforce Login URL as part of your account configuration.


Note
title Breaking change for Salesforce Pipelines configured with version lower than 31.0

If you have any existing Salesforce Pipelines configured with versions lower than 31.0, then your Pipelines will fail with an "Invalid service version" errorbecause Salesforce has deprecated its Platform API Versions 21.0 through 30.0. For this reason, we recommend that you immediately upgrade the API version to the lowest supported version (31.0) or the highest supported Salesforce version (55.0).


Note
  • Bulk API v1.0 works on Salesforce Service v20.0 to v43.0.
  • Bulk API v2.0 works on Salesforce Service v41.0 and above.


Improved Error Handling

Error handling has been improved to make it more user-friendly. Error messages now provide more clarity in terms of the nature of the error, the reason for the error, and the resolution that can be applied as opposed to a generic error message in earlier releases. A demonstration of this feature in the Salesforce Lookup, Salesforce Read, and Salesforce Create Snaps is as shown below:

    • The Snap asynchronously makes callbacks or listens to the CometD API to identify and respond to specific events.

  • You can select the Null Setting with Bulk API checkbox in the Salesforce Update, Salesforce Create, and Salesforce Upsert Snaps to format null values in the input document.

4.29 Patch

429patches16708 Latest

    • Upgraded the Cometd version from 5.0.9 to the latest 7.0.6 version.

    • Enhanced the Snap design to make the callbacks or listeners asynchronously by the Cometd API when there is a specific event, and the Snap responds accordingly.
    • Enhanced the tracking of replay ID of the most recent message processed so that Snap can send that replay ID if there is a need to resubscribe. If the server responds that the replay ID is invalid, Snap automatically sets the Replay ID value to -2 to get all available messages.

  • Enhanced the Salesforce Upsert Snap to support CSV payload using the new field Bulk Content Type in Bulk API mode as Salesforce API has recently been supporting CSV payload as well. Earlier, this Snap supported only XML data type; you can now select CSV content type from the Bulk Content Type drop-down list. The default content type is set to XML to preserve backward compatibility. 
    This enhancement also addresses the null values issue during Bulk API mode.
