Salesforce ACTION

Update Accounts (Batch)

Update many Salesforce accounts in one job using Bulk API 2.0. Use this instead of Update Account when updating more than roughly 200 records - it is asynchronous and returns a job ID, not the updated records. Every row must include the record Id of the account to update. Input is a CSV file - supply a path under /tmp or a URL to download it from, with a header row of Salesforce field API names. Poll the job in Salesforce to confirm completion; a successful response means the job was accepted, not that every row loaded. See the documentation

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Salesforce account once, then configure and run Update Accounts (Batch) 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-update-accounts-batch",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    salesforce_rest_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    csvFilePath: "CSV File Path Or URL",
    syncDir: "SyncDir",
  },
})

console.log(result)
