To import your data from Salesforce, follow the steps below:

1. Select your Salesforce connection from the Connection drop-down list. Press Open for your reference, or if modifications or any changes are required in the pre-defined connection.

2. Select the required action from the Action drop-down list:

• Insert: Import new data into an empty Schema’s table.
• Update: Add the latest data to the existing schema fields.
• Delete: Delete data from the Schema’s table.
• Upsert: Select to either update or insert rows of data depending upon whether a specific set of conditions are met (or not).

Note: On selecting Update, Delete, Upsert from drop-down list, the Schema Column and Source Column appear. These fields associate a specific field in the source system to a specific field in the Schema. The rows from the source system will Update/Delete or Upsert rows in the Schema based on this association. Select required columns to enable automatic updates.

3. Fill in the Query box complying the SOQL language pattern:

1st row – select = statement;

2nd row – id and name = fields;

3rd row and below (optional) – filter statements and, optionally, results.
