Create/Update Salesforce Objects¤
Python Plugin
This operator is part of a Python Plugin Package. In order to use it, you need to install it, e.g. with cmemc.
This task retrieves data from an incoming workflow task (such as a SPARQL query), and sends bulk API requests to the Salesforce Object API, in order to manipulate data in your organization’s Salesforce account.
The working model is:
- Each entity from the input data is interpreted as a single Salesforce object of the
configured object type.
- Each path from the input entity is interpreted as a field from the Salesforce
data model (refer to the Salesforce Standard Objects list).
- The special path id is used to identify an object in Salesforce and switch
between update/creation mode, means:
- If there is NO id path available, a new object is created.
- If there IS an id path available, an update is done if the object exists.
Example:
- You want to create new Lead objects based on data from a Knowledge Graph.
- The Lead Object Reference lists the supported fields, e.g. FirstName,
LastName and Email.
- Your input SPARQL task looks like this. Note that the variables need
to match the field strings from the Salesforce data model:
Lead as the Object API Name of this task and you connect both task in
the workflow in order get the result of the SPARQL task as in input for this task.
- For each SPARQL result, a new Lead is created.
