Get for Salesforce - dynamically populate SfdcUsername and SfdcPassword

  • 1.  Get for Salesforce - dynamically populate SfdcUsername and SfdcPassword

    Posted 01-28-2020 10:01

    In the Data3Sixty Get for Salesforce node under the Connection dropdown there is the ability to choose Input Fields and then select a field for the SfdcUsername and SfdcPassword. However when I try to pass in the values instead of hardcoding a value I get the error Invalid username ... (see attachment ). How can I make those values dynamic?

    The SfdcUsername and SfdcPassword properties do not accept their values from an input field.

    Node properties that support this mode of operation have a '(from Field)' source option in the header of the property, for example see the Query property in the screenshot below. The drop-down control enables you to set the source as a literal (the default) or select the from Field variant. In this case the SOQL query string will be sourced from the value in the Statement field.

     

    You can parameterize the SfdcUsername, SfdcPassword, etc properties using Run properties (or Data Flow properties) - as indicated in the above example by the property references. Note that it is preferable to use a Run property for the password rather than a Data Flow property if the data flow is to be shared with other users on the same system (e.g. Server instance) as the password value would still be accessible to the other users.
