Salesforce TRIGGER
New Chatter Feed Comment (Instant or Polling)
FeedComment via SOQL on CreatedDate. Use this to react to comments on Chatter posts, since Chatter activity does not update the parent record's LastModifiedDate. The payload includes both ParentId (a polymorphic reference to the feed's parent - either a record feed, e.g. a Case ID starting with 500, or a User feed) and FeedItemId (the ID of the FeedItem the comment belongs to) - these are distinct fields; do not confuse them. Set parentObjectType to a parent object API name (e.g. Case) to only emit comments whose parent record is of that type. Set excludeSelf to true to drop comments authored by the connected integration user. Note: querying FeedComment without a parent filter requires the View All Data permission on the connected user. Attempts instant delivery via webhook and falls back to timer polling automatically. See the documentation- Trigger

IMPLEMENTATION
Deploy this event source
Connect the user's Salesforce account, configure the source, and choose the webhook where your backend receives events.
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 deployed = await pd.triggers.deploy({
id: "salesforce_rest_api-new-feed-comment",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
salesforce_rest_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
timer: { "intervalSeconds": 900 },
parentObjectType: "Parent Object Type",
},
webhookUrl: "https://example.com/webhooks/salesforce-rest-api",
})

}'MCP servers expose Salesforce actions as on-demand tools.
New Chatter Feed Comment (Instant or Polling) is an event source, so your application deploys it
with the Connect SDK or API and then either receives each event at a
webhook URL or retrieves events on demand with the trigger events API.MCP exposes on-demand actions. Event sources are deployed through the Connect SDK or API because they continue listening after the initial request.
SCHEMA
Configuration
These inputs define which events the source watches. Dynamic options are loaded from the connected account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
timer Timer | $.interface.timer | The timer is only used as a fallback if instant event delivery (webhook) is not available. Required |
parentObjectType Parent Object Type | string | Optional. Only emit comments whose parent record is of this Salesforce SObject API name, e.g. Case (traversal of the polymorphic FeedComment.ParentId). Enforced on both delivery paths: AND Parent.Type = '<value>' in the polling SOQL, and the parent's Salesforce ID key prefix on instant (webhook) deliveries. Leave blank to emit comments on any parent object (requires View All Data permission). Optional |
excludeSelf Exclude Self | boolean | Optional. When true, appends AND CreatedById != '<authenticatedUserId>' to filter out comments created by the connected user. The user ID is resolved at runtime via the userinfo endpoint and cached in db. Optional |
LIFECYCLE
Event delivery
01
Connect
Your user authorizes Salesforce through Pipedream managed auth.
02
Deploy
Your backend deploys this source with that user's own configuration.
03
Webhook delivery
Every event is sent to the HTTP endpoint you choose when you deploy the source — after each poll.
OR
On-demand retrieval
No webhook required. Your app or agent can fetch recent events from the trigger events API.
