Salesforce Integration
In this article, we’ll integrate a Salesforce data source with Y42.
The Salesforce Platform connects the entire customer journey across Sales, Service, Marketing, Commerce, and every touchpoint. This integration uses Salesforce's API that provides a powerful, convenient, and simple Web services API for interacting with Lightning Platform.
Overview
Authentication
Import Settings
By default, the historical date will be set to one year ago. Refer to your own data source to decide from which exact date you would want to retrieve data.
Note: To use our Salesforce integration, your Salesforce account must have API access enabled. We also highly recommend Bulk API access for faster integration connection.
Schema
You can find a list of tables supported in the API with a brief description fo each on the Salesforce API documentation.
Updating your data
For this source you can schedule full imports. Every time the source updates it will fully sync all your data. You have the option of scheduling updates by the month, weeks, days, and even by the hour.
