Salesforce
Flowgen connects to Salesforce via the REST API, Bulk API, SOAP API, Tooling API, and Pub/Sub API.
Credentials
The credentials_path field points to a JSON file with your Connected App credentials. Flowgen authenticates using the OAuth2 Client Credentials flow.
{
"client_id": "your_connected_app_consumer_key",
"client_secret": "your_consumer_secret",
"instance_url": "https://your-instance.salesforce.com",
"tenant_id": "00Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
client_id | string | yes | Connected App Consumer Key. |
client_secret | string | yes | Connected App Consumer Secret. |
instance_url | string | yes | e.g. https://your-instance.salesforce.com. |
tenant_id | string | Pub/Sub only | 15 or 18-character Salesforce Org ID. |
Retries
Rate limits (429), 5xx responses, and connection errors and timeouts are retried per the task’s retry config. An expired session is retried after logging in again. Other Salesforce errors fail the event, and so does a missing or invalid field. Operations that create something (records, record trees, merges, query jobs, event subscriptions) are retried only after an expired session, since a call repeated after a timeout can create it twice.
