Call this tool
Connect a user's Salesforce account once, then configure and run Get User from your backend or agent.

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-get-user",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
salesforce_rest_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
userId: "Record ID",
