What is the use of upsert operation in salesforce connector
The upsert operation
in the Salesforce Connector is used to either insert or update a record in
Salesforce, depending on whether or not the record already exists. The upsert
operation uses the record's external ID to determine whether to insert or
update the record. If the external ID is not matched, then a new record is
created. If the external ID is matched once, then the existing record is
updated. If the external ID is matched multiple times, then an error is
reported.
The upsert operation
is a useful way to ensure that your Salesforce data is always up-to-date, even
if the data is being updated from multiple sources. For example, you could use
the upsert operation to update your Salesforce data from a CRM system, an ERP
system, and an e-commerce platform.
Here are some of the
benefits of using the upsert operation in the Salesforce Connector:
·
Ensures that your
Salesforce data is always up-to-date
·
Reduces the number of
API calls required to update your Salesforce data
·
Improves the
performance of your Mule applications
·
Makes your Mule
applications more robust and reliable
To use the upsert
operation in the Salesforce Connector, you need to specify the following
information:
·
The external ID of the
record to be upserted
·
The object type of the
record to be upserted
·
The fields of the
record to be upserted
You can use the
following Mule components to upsert records in Salesforce:
·
Upsert component
·
UpsertAsync component
The Upsert component
upserts records synchronously, while the UpsertAsync component upserts records
asynchronously.
Here is an example of
how to use the Upsert component to upsert a record in Salesforce:
XML
<upsert objectType="Account" externalIdFieldName="AccountId">
<fields>
<field name="Name" value="My Account"/>
</fields>
</upsert>
This code will upsert
an account record in Salesforce with the name "My Account". The
external ID field name for the account object is "AccountId".
I hope this helps!
