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

  1. 1
    Add a Salesforce action to an automation.
  2. 2
    Click Connect - a local HTTP listener opens, your browser pops to the SkySuite OAuth flow, and on success the connection appears in the dropdown.
  3. 3
    Pick a Connection → an Object → a Filter field (the WHERE clause column) and bind a Filter value range (cell with the lookup value).
  4. 4
    Choose Field export mode:
  5. 5
    All - Export every field of the matched record to a contiguous range starting at Fields export range.
  6. 6
    Custom mapping - Pick which Salesforce fields go to which named ranges in the workbook.
  7. 7
    Run 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.
