Salesforce

Automate CRM operations and data synchronization.

Using the Salesforce API with Trigger.dev

You can use Trigger.dev with any existing Node SDK or even just using fetch. Using io.runTask makes your Salesforce background job resumable and appear in our dashboard.

Use io.runTask() and the official SDK or fetch.

Use our HTTP endpoint to subscribe to webhooks
