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.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	The timer is only used as a fallback if instant event delivery (webhook) is not available.
Object Type	`objectType`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Fields To Watch	`fields`	`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:
