Salesforce Overview#

The Salesforce (REST API) provides a powerful platform for creating and managing customer relationships with a wide array of features like data manipulation, querying, and complex automation. With Pipedream's serverless execution, you can create workflows that automate your sales processes, sync data with other platforms, enhance customer engagement, and trigger actions based on specific events. Dive into Salesforce data, streamline lead management, track customer interactions, and push or pull data to or from Salesforce seamlessly.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Salesforce	`salesforce`	`app`	This component uses the Salesforce app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Object Type	`objectType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Salesforce uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Salesforce account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Salesforce and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Salesforce API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

QStash Overview#

QStash API offers a secure, scalable, and simple way to manage message queues and defer tasks. Using this API, you can enqueue messages, schedule tasks to run after a delay, and ensure that tasks are executed exactly once, leveraging the power of serverless architecture. With Pipedream's ability to connect to a multitude of services, you can build complex workflows that trigger actions in other apps based on events in QStash, allowing you to automate cross-application business processes with ease.
