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.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Object Type	`objectType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Field	`field`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Field Updated to	`fieldUpdatedTo`	`string`	If provided, the trigger will only fire when the updated field is an EXACT MATCH (including spacing and casing) to the value you provide in this field

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:

Xero Accounting Overview#

The Xero Accounting API offers a powerful gateway to access and manipulate financial data within Xero. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, developers can build custom workflows that streamline accounting processes, sync financial data with external systems, and trigger actions based on financial events.
