sf_update: Update Records

In salesforcer: An Implementation of 'Salesforce' APIs Using Tidy Principles

Update Records

Description

Updates one or more records to your organization’s data.

Usage

sf_update(
  input_data,
  object_name,
  api_type = c("SOAP", "REST", "Bulk 1.0", "Bulk 2.0"),
  guess_types = TRUE,
  control = list(...),
  ...,
  all_or_none = deprecated(),
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

input_data	named vector, matrix, data.frame, or tbl_df; data can be coerced into a data.frame. If performing an update, upsert, or delete operation, then one column or field must be the Id of the record to modify or delete.
object_name	character; the name of the Salesforce object that the function is operating against (e.g. "Account", "Contact", "CustomObject__c").
api_type	character; one of "REST", "SOAP", "Bulk 1.0", or "Bulk 2.0" indicating which API to use when making the request.
guess_types	logical; indicating whether or not to use col_guess() to try and cast the data returned in the recordset. If TRUE then col_guess() is used, if FALSE then all fields will be returned as character. This is helpful when col_guess() will mangle field values in Salesforce that you'd like to preserve during translation into a tbl_df, like numeric looking values that must be preserved as strings ("48.0").
control	list; a list of parameters for controlling the behavior of the API call being used. For more information of what parameters are available look at the documentation for sf_control.
...	arguments passed to sf_control or further downstream to sf_bulk_operation
all_or_none	logical; allows a call to roll back all changes unless all records are processed successfully.
verbose	logical; an indicator of whether to print additional detail for each API call, which is useful for debugging. More specifically, when set to TRUE the URL, header, and body will be printed for each request, along with additional diagnostic information where available.

Value

tbl_df of records with success indicator

Note

Because the SOAP and REST calls chunk data into batches of 200 records the AllOrNoneHeader will only apply to the success or failure of every batch of records and not all records submitted to the function.

Examples

## Not run: 
n <- 2
new_contacts <- tibble(FirstName = rep("Test", n),
                       LastName = paste0("Contact", 1:n))
new_records <- sf_create(new_contacts, "Contact")
updated_contacts <- tibble(FirstName = rep("TestTest", n),
                           LastName = paste0("Contact", 1:n),
                           Id = new_records$id)
# update and allow fields to be truncated if they are too long
update <- sf_update(input_data = updated_contacts, object_name = "Contact",
                    AllowFieldTruncationHeader=list(allowFieldTruncation=TRUE))
