Example

This Data Stream example demonstrates how to use this Listener Agent to retrieve new Account records from Salesforce.

Step 1: Add the Agent

Drag the Salesforce Listener Agent onto the canvas. Link the output endpoint to the printer, rename it, and save the Data Stream.

Step 2: Configure General

Select the Agent and click Configure. In this case, keep the default collection and polling interval the same.

Step 3: Configure Authentication

Tick to use variables and enter the Salesforce login details: username, password, and whether it is a sandbox.

Step 4: Configure Custom API OAuth Settings

Select the consumer key and secret.

Step 5: Configure Object

Set the object to be retrieved. In this case, select Account.

Step 6: Results

Apply the changes, save the Data Stream, and publish it.
