Synopsis
This operator creates records for a Salesforce object from the input example set.Description
This operator creates entries for a Salesforce object from the input example set in the specified Salesforce instance. Each example of the input data will create one Salesforce entry. The selected attributes will be used as the respective field values.
To select the fields which should be created, you can use the attribute selection parameters. Attributes which are not selected are ignored.
Note that datetime fields are always treated as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), using the pattern "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX". Date fields use "yyyy-MM-dd" and time fields "HH:mm:ss.SSSX".
If the skip invalid parameter is selected, each row for which the creation in Salesforce failed will return a missing value in the ID column.
Input
