Getting Started With Salesforce REST API In Python (For Beginners)

[@elteixeiras]

Thanks for the tutorial Jie Jenn, it helped me a lot in the project very similar to what you demonstrated.

Glad the video help. And thanks for the donation!

Hello. Thanks for posting this helpful video! Can you make a video where the python script is able to process the SOQL queried data and return a value for Salesforce user? Is it possible for a user to click a button that runs a python script and returns values to the user or updates fields on Salesforce so users can have access to that information?

Hi. can we also upsert records to a salesforce object along with enforcing the parent/child reference mapping? If yes, are there any limitations or caveat ? Thanks !

[@jiejenn]

Yes definitely. Usually you can do this with a trigger in Salesforce to enforce the check and you will need to use external id for it.

[@JustBigdata]

@@jiejenn Funny thing. The salesforce team wants to eliminate that trigger logic at salesforce , instead has asked data team to write custom python logic to populate data while maintaining parent/child relationships.

[@jiejenn]

@@JustBigdata In that case, you will have to do implement the validation inside a script. My suggestion is create a reference table to track the relationship, which is a common practice.

Thanks for the video, but the login doesn´t works.. says access_token = generate_token()["access_token"] KeyError: 'access_token'

Hi jenn, can you please one video salesforce delta deployment of python scripts using yaml in azure devops cicd or any possible to video do generic salesforce delta python scripts.

[@jiejenn]

Not sure if I understand your question.
