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.
	`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.

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:

Action Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Verifalia	`verifalia`	`app`	This component uses the Verifalia app.
Email address	`emailAddress`	`string`	Enter the email address to verify (e.g. `batman@gmail.com`)
Quality Level	`quality`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "Standard quality", "value": "standard" }{ "label": "High quality", "value": "high" }{ "label": "Extreme quality", "value": "extreme" }`
Data Retention Period	`retention`	`string`	The data retention period to observe for the validation job, expressed in the format `dd.hh:mm:ss` (where dd: days, hh: hours, mm: minutes, ss: seconds); the initial `dd.` part is added only for periods of more than 24 hours. The value has a minimum of 5 minutes (`0:5:0`) and a maximum of 30 days (`30.0:0:0`): Verifalia will delete the job and its data once its data retention period is over, starting to count when it gets completed.
