Using a Dynamic Token in a Dynamic Account

To use a Dynamic Token from Salesforce with a dynamic account, you will need to create:

1. A Pipeline to perform the desired Salesforce actions.
2. A triggered task to call that pipeline.
3. A REST Get Pipeline to query for the token information.
4. A Salesforce Dynamic Account with values supplied by Pipeline parameters. You must use Pipeline parameters since accounts get initialized before Snaps.

Salesforce Pipeline

For this pipeline, define two Pipeline parameters:

...

Create a triggered task for the Salesforce Pipeline. Supply the instance_url and access_token values the instance_url and access_token values received from the grant_type POST to the Pipeline parameters.

...

Create a REST Get pipeline that calls the Salesforce triggered task with the query parameters such as:

Salesforce Dynamic Account

Back in In the Salesforce Pipeline, create a Salesforce Dynamic Account within the Salesforce Snap used.

...

The Snap reads records from the Account object, and retrieves values for the 10 output fields (Output field limit) starting from the 3rd field (OutputfieldOutput field offset). Additionally, we are passing the values dynamically with the expressions enabled. The Pipeline parameters to be passed dynamically are set for the Access token and the Instance URL fields.

The Salesforce Read Snap reads the records from the object, Account, to the extent of 10 records starting from the 3rd record (by defining the properties- Output field limit and Output field offset with the values 10 and 3 respectively).
Create a dynamic account and toggle (enable) the expressions for Access Token and Instance URL properties in order to pass the values dynamically.  Set Access token to _accessToken and Instance URL to _instance_url. Note that the values are to be passed manually and are not suggestible.
Successful execution of the Pipeline displays the below output view:
