Salesforce
An OAuth-authenticated bridge from Salesforce into the active worksheet. Pick a Salesforce object (Account, Opportunity, Contact, custom object, etc.
When to use it
- Pulling the Account or Opportunity record for the deal you're underwriting and dropping specific fields into named-range cells in your model.
- Refreshing a list of fields from a CRM record on demand inside an automation.
- Exporting a whole Salesforce record's fields into a flat block of cells.
- Driving an automation off a deal ID stored in a cell - chain Salesforce after an input step to pull related data.
How it works
- 1Add a Salesforce action to an automation.
- 2Click Connect - a local HTTP listener opens, your browser pops to the SkySuite OAuth flow, and on success the connection appears in the dropdown.
- 3Pick a Connection → an Object → a Filter field (the WHERE clause column) and bind a Filter value range (cell with the lookup value).
- 4Choose Field export mode:
- 5All - Export every field of the matched record to a contiguous range starting at Fields export range.
- 6Custom mapping - Pick which Salesforce fields go to which named ranges in the workbook.
- 7Run the automation - SkySuite calls Salesforce, finds the record where
<FilterField> = <FilterValue>, and writes either the full record or the mapped fields.
Tips & shortcuts
- Use named ranges in your model for everything you want Salesforce to populate. The Custom Mapping picker only lists named ranges from the active workbook.
- Filter field should be a unique identifier (Id, Account Number, custom external ID). The action targets a single record by design, so pick a field that matches exactly one record.
- The Refresh Metadata button forces a re-pull of objects and fields. Use it when you've recently added a custom field in Salesforce and don't see it.
- Connections are saved to your SkySuite account, so they're available across all of your workbooks. Deleting a connection in the dropdown removes it everywhere.
