The Salesforce Output component uses the Salesforce API to write back the contents of a source table (or view) into a table in Salesforce.

Properties

Name = string

A human-readable name for the component.

Authentication Method = select

Select the authentication method. Users can choose between a username/password combination or an OAuth.

  • Yes: Connect to a sandbox Salesforce account.

This property is only available when Authentication Method is set to "User/Password".

Username = drop-down

Provide a valid Salesforce username.

This property is only available when Authentication Method is set to "User/Password".

Password = string

Security Token = string

Provide a valid Salesforce security token.

This property is only available when Authentication Method is set to "User/Password".

Authentication = drop-down

Select an OAuth entry to authenticate this component. An OAuth entry must be set up in advance. To learn how to create and authorise an OAuth entry, please read our Salesforce Output Authentication Guide.

This property is only available when Authentication Method is set to "OAuth".

Use Bulk API = drop-down

No: Write up to 200 rows in real-time. This is the default setting. Yes: Write up to 10,000 rows asynchronously in the background. This can't be cancelled before completion.

Content Type = drop-down

Select the content type. When set to ZIP-XML (the default), data is loaded to Salesforce and the Content Type in the Salesforce UI is shown as ZIP-XML. This applies accordingly to each other content type. This parameter is only available when Use Bulk API is set to Yes.

Connection Options = column editor

Manual setup is not usually required, since sensible defaults are assumed.

  • Parameter: A JDBC connection parameter supported by the database driver. Available parameters are explained in the Data Model.
  • Value: A value for the given Parameter.

Database = drop-down

The Snowflake database. The special value, [Environment Default], will use the database defined in the environment. Read Databases, Tables and Views - Overview to learn more.

Schema = drop-down

The Snowflake schema. The special value, [Environment Default], will use the schema defined in the environment. Read Database, Schema, and Share DDL to learn more.

Source Table = drop-down

The table in your cloud data warehouse that you wish to output to Microsoft SQL Server.

Target Object = drop-down

Select the Salesforce object (table) into which local data will be loaded (input).

Output Operation = drop-down

Select the output operation to be performed into the target object. Available operations are Delete, Insert, Update, and Upsert.

Salesforce ID = drop-down

Select the unique ID of the row within the Target Object into which the local data will be written.

This property is only available when Output Operation is set to "Delete", "Update", or "Upsert" (not "Insert").

Column Mappings = columns editor

  • Source Columns: Specify the columns in the source table that will be unloaded (output).
  • Target Columns: Specify columns in the target object where the source columns will be output to.

On Warnings = drop-down
