IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Salesforce account once, then configure and run Create Event from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "salesforce_rest_api-create-event",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
salesforce_rest_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
AcceptedEventInviteeIds: ["Accepted Event Invitee IDs"],
ActivityDate: "Due Date / Time",
},
})

await mcp.connect(transport)
