Salesforce ACTION

Get User Info

Get the current authenticated Salesforce user's identity, including user ID, email, org ID, and instance URL. Must be called before any query that uses first-person language ('my', 'I', 'me'). The userId can be used as an OwnerId filter in SOQL queries (e.g. WHERE OwnerId = '{userId}'). The instanceUrl is needed to construct clickable links to Salesforce records: {instanceUrl}/lightning/r/{objectType}/{recordId}/view. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Salesforce account once, then configure and run Get User Info 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-get-user-info",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    salesforce_rest_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
  },
})

console.log(result)
