Creating Salesforce steps

When using Salesforce steps, there are 3 options:

  1. SOQL queries
  2. Single object actions
  3. Bulk actions

SOQL queries

Write SOQL queries to perform read-only actions on your SFDC data.

Single object actions

Use single object actions to perform CRUD actions on a single object. Pass in an object of data in the Resource Body.

  • Create a single object

  • Delete a single object
  • Read a single object

Bulk actions

Use bulk actions to perform CRUD actions on several objects at time. Pass in an array of objects in the Bulk Update Body.

  • Create several objects
