Salesforce REST Connector Reference

The following operations allow you to work with the Salesforce REST Connector. Click an operation name to see parameter details and samples on how to use it.


Initialize the connector

Salesforce REST API uses the OAuth protocol to allow application users to securely access data without having to reveal their user credentials. For more information on how authentication is done in Salesforce, see Understanding Authentication. You can provide only access token and use it until it expires. After expiry, you will be responsible for getting a new access token and using it. Alternatively, you have the option of providing refresh token, client secret, and client ID which will be used to get access token initially and after every expiry by the connector itself. You will not be required to handle access token expiry in this case.

There also option to use basic authentication with username and password.

To use the Salesforce REST connector, add the <salesforcerest.init> element in your configuration before carrying out any other Salesforce REST operations.
