Salesforce

When you configure the Salesforce destination, you define connection information, including the API type, authentication type, and the version that the destination uses to connect to Salesforce. You can also use a connectionconnection to configure the destination.

You specify the Salesforce object to write to by entering the object name or by defining an expression that evaluates to the object name.

You can write Salesforce platform events as you write to any Salesforce object by using the platform event API name, for example, Notification__e, rather than a Salesforce object type API name such as Account or Widget__c.

The Salesforce destination can use CRUD operations defined in the sdc.operation.type record header attribute to write data. You can define a default operation for records without the header attribute or value. You can also configure how to handle records with unsupported operations. For information about Data Collector change data processing and a list of CDC-enabled origins, see Processing Changed Data.

By default, the Salesforce destination writes data to a Salesforce object by matching case-sensitive field names. You can override the default field mappings by defining specific mappings that the CRUD operation requires. For update and delete operations, the incoming record must contain the record ID.

You can optionally use an HTTP proxy to connect to Salesforce. When enabled in Salesforce, you can configure the destination to use mutual authentication to connect.
