Deprecated Salesforce functions

Information on deprecated Salesforce functions

Deprecated authentication method

Credentials

During credentials creation you would need to:

  • Choose Environment

  • Enter Username and Password in a pop-up window after click on Authenticate button.

  • Verify and save your new credentials.

Note: When you deploy the Salesforce component separately into a dedicated tenant or into your developer team it can not use the OAuth App specifically created for our main elastic.io tenant. For this purposes you must create a different OAuth App and add the required environment variables to the component setup.

Authentication

Authentication occurs via OAuth 2.0.

In the component repository you need to specify OAuth Client credentials as environment variables:

  • OAUTH_CLIENT_ID - your OAuth client key

  • OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET - your OAuth client secret

Note: We renamed the environment variables SALESFORCE_KEY and SALESFORCE_SECRET to standardize the OAuth workflow. To get these values you can check the creating OAuth App for Salesforce article.

Auth client creation

Here is where those two keys fit into the picture. After the deployment, your repository looks like this.

Salesforce component repository

Click You can configure environment variables here link to configure variables for this specific component.

Input the environment variables

You would need to create two variables here:

  • OAUTH_CLIENT_ID - your OAuth client key, meaning the Consumer Key.
  • OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET - your OAuth client secret, meaning the Consumer Secret.

Please Note: We renamed the environment variables SALESFORCE_KEY and SALESFORCE_SECRET to standardize the OAuth workflow.

Deprecated Actions

Lookup Object action(deprecated)

Lookup an object by a selected field.

Action creates a single object. Input metadata is fetched dynamically from your Salesforce account. Output metadata is the same as input metadata, so you may expect all fields that you mapped as input to be returned as output.

Input field description

  • Optional batch size - A positive integer specifying batch size. If no batch size is specified then results of the query will be emitted one-by-one, otherwise, query results will be emitted in an array of maximum batch size.
  • Object - Input field where you should choose the object type, which you want to find. E.g. Account
  • Lookup field - Input field where you should choose the lookup field which you want to use for result filtering. E.g. Id.
  • Max Fetch Count - limit for a number of messages that can be fetched. 1,000 is the default value when the variable is not set.

For now, you can specify all unique, lookup, ExternalID/Id fields.

Execution result handling

Condition Execution result
Lookup failed - we were not able to find any parent object. Lookup action emits a single message with an empty body.
Lookup found a single object, e.g. we were able to identify a parent Account to the Contact A single message will be emitted, found object will be a body of the message
Lookup found multiple objects (that may happen when a lookup is made by non-unique field) Each found object will be emitted with the separate message

Action is deprecated. You can use Lookup Object action or Lookup Object action (at most 1) instead.
