a!sfcSearch() Function

Allows searching a Salesforce instance using the Salesforce Object Search Language. For more information on SOSL, refer to Salesforce SOSL reference documentation.

Syntax

a!sfcSearch( scsExternalSystemKey, usePerUserCredentials, endpoint, query)

Common Parameters:

scsExternalSystemKey: (Text) The key from the Third Party Credentials admin console page that corresponds to the set of credentials that should be used to authenticate.

usePerUserCredentials: (Boolean) If true the credentials set in the Third-Party Credentials settings page by the current user running the expression will be used. If false the site-wide credential values will be used.

endpoint: (Text) The Salesforce endpoint URL to use for authentication. Possible values are "https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/27.0", which is used for production and development environments, and "https://test.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/27.0", which is used for the Salesforce "sandbox" test environment. Update the 27.0 portion of the endpoint URL to match the version of the API that you are accessing. As a best practice, create a constant for this value.

Specific Parameters:

query: (Text) The SOSL query to send to Salesforce

Returns

The function returns the standard connector result dictionary described in the main Connectors page.

If successful, the function returns a dictionary representation of the Salesforce SearchResult within the result field. Refer to Salesforce documentation for details regarding the contents of SearchResult.

Examples

Search for Contacts and Leads with a Given Phone Number

Copy and paste the expression into the INTERFACE DEFINITION in EXPRESSION MODE, save it, then call the interface in a Tempo Report to test.
