Salesforce Delete

The Salesforce Delete transform deletes records directly from your Salesforce database using the Salesforce Web Service. You can delete a batch of records by indicating a starting point (Fieldname id) and the amount of records (Batch Size) to delete.

You can also use the following other transforms to modify your Salesforce database:

General

  • Transform name: Specifies the unique name of the Salesforce Delete transform on the canvas. You can customize the name or leave it as the default.

This list is populated with field names received from the previous transform in a pipeline. For example, you can use the Salesforce Input transform to get field names.
