Overview

Salesforce Create is a Write-type Snap that enables you to create object records using REST API or Bulk API 1.0. The Snap in Bulk API mode submits a batch job and writes the batch job information to the output view

for

, which should be passed to the Salesforce Poller Snap to check the result of the batch job. The Snap in REST API mode creates

records and returns results synchronously without the need of the Salesforce Poller Snap.

Snap Views

Type	Format	Number of Views	Examples of Upstream and Downstream Snaps	Description
Input	Document	Min: 1 Max: 1	CSV Generator JSON Generator	This Snap receives documents in the view and 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

	Document	Min: 0 Max: 1	Mapper Salesforce Poller	A document that contains Map data with these elements: 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

String/Expression

None

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 a 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

Validation always uses the REST API.

This property sets the Salesforce API mode to Bulk API or REST API. The Snap in REST API mode creates one record at a time and returns the results at the output. REST API can be simpler and faster if the number of records to be created is small (a few).
