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- Action

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",
},
})

await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({

csvFilePath CSV File Path Or URL | string | The path to the CSV file to process. Provide a path to a file in the /tmp directory (for example, /tmp/data.csv). If a URL is provided, the file will be downloaded to the /tmp directory. See the documentation Required |
syncDir SyncDir | dir | Required |
