Getting Started#
You can install the Pipedream Salesforce app in the Accounts section of your account, or directly in a workflow.
Webhooks
If you happen to stumble on the error: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: admin operation already in progress when creating an Instant trigger, you can follow the steps below to use the Salesforce Flow Builder to be able to use webhooks with Pipedream. This is a known error in Salesforce.
- Create a New Workflow on Pipedream and add a HTTP trigger.
- Login and go to your Salesforce Setup Menu Page.
- On the left hand Quick Find Bar, search for Outbound Messages in Process Automation -> Workflow Actions.
- Click on the New Outbound Message button in the middle of the page.
- Select the Object Type and click Next.
- Fill in the Name, Unique Name, and Available Fields to Send fields in the form. On the Endpoint URL field, paste the URL endpoint generated by the HTTP trigger created earlier and then click Save.
- Back to the left hand Quick Find Bar, search for Flows in Process Automation.
- Click on New Flow button on the upper right hand corner and then select on Record-Trigged Flow and click on Create.
- Select the same Object Type as before and select the appropriate flow trigger.
- Optionally set Entry Conditions, keep Actions and Related Records selected, and click on Done.
- Click on the plus sign below the newly created trigger and click on Action.
- Search for Outbound Message and on the search bar select the trigger that was created previously.
- Insert a Label and an API Name and then click on Done.
- Save the flow by clicking on the Save button, insert a Flow Label and a Flow API Name and then click on Activate next to the Save button.
- Back to the Pipedream Workflow, create a new step with the Salesforce Convert SOAP Object action.
- In the XML Soap Object field, select the path from the trigger or type in
{{steps.trigger.event.body}}. - That's it! You can now deploy the workflow and you will receive instant updates from Salesforce.

Authentication#
Salesforce (REST API) uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Salesforce (REST API) account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Salesforce (REST API) and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Salesforce (REST API) API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
- authorization
GET{{custom_fields.instancetype}}/services/oauth2/authorize?client_id={{oauth.client_id}}&redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}&state={{oauth.state}}&response_type=code&scope={{oauth.space_separated_scopes}} - accessToken
