Announcement: Salesforce connector and actions

[dgudkov]

Thanks for the feedback, Roberto! Answering your questions:

@roberto

Refresh token: does this connector automatically manage refresh tokens?

The connector uses the "offline" connection mode, so technically tokens don't expire. But even if they did, the connector can still handle it.

@roberto

If we want to keep using a “Web Location” connector to connect to Salesforce (for example, if we want to keep having a custom callback URL), why can’t we select it from this dropdown? Even though it’s a “Web Location” connector, its being used for Salesforce, so it should still work correctly right?

For now, that's not supported. Use separate connectors for the Salesforce actions and web requests.

@roberto

If we have a custom OAuth App and we want to use the Salesforce actions in EasyMorph, we have to add all these OAuth scopes to our custom OAuth app for it to work correctly, right?

That's correct.

@roberto

Are you always using the REST API, or do you use the BULK API for operations with a significant number of records (for example 10000 or more)?

Records are inserted using the bulk API so the export action can insert large amounts of data rather quickly.

@roberto

There is a monthly limit to the number of calls that can be done in a Salesforce org, so it would be very useful to have an API usage counter to know the current state. This could be for example in the Salesforce Connector, a button that allows you to see the current API Usage. This information is always included by Salesforce in the response when a call is made.

Interesting suggestion. We'll check it out.

I understand that “insert” new records is only available at the moment? It would be great to have “update” existing records as well.

Updating/deleting rows is in the works and will be available later.
