Salesforce Bulk Delete

Overview

The Salesforce Bulk Delete Snap deletes records using Salesforce Bulk API 2.0.

The Snap submits the delete requests in batches and executes a soft delete.

Note: To use newer Salesforce objects, use the latest API versions where those objects are available.


  • This is a Write-type Snap.
  • Works in Ultra Tasks when the Batch size is set to 1.

Supported Accounts

Limitations

This Snap performs batch processing; a batch of input documents is processed for each HTTP request sent to Salesforce. Values of all the expression-enabled fields must remain constant during the Snap execution or validation. Hence, all expression fields can support Pipeline parameters only when they are expression-enabled. The input data parameters are not supported for expression fields; for example, $serviceVersion.

Snap views

Type Description Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps
Input

This Snap has exactly one document input view.

Each document contains one Salesforce record.
Output

This Snap has at most one document output view.

Produces documents in the view.
Error

This Snap has at most one document error view.

Note: Because of the potentially large size of the error messages, the Reason for the Salesforce error message in the error document field may be truncated. The complete error is available in the field full_error under the original object containing copies of the failed input records or in the logs.
