Solved: How to create a Salesforce record from AppSheet - Page 2

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into integrating with Salseforce.

What I want to do is to create a Salesforce record from AppSheet. I haven’t found a way to achieve this so far, but if anyone knows how to handle this, please let me know.

Here’s what I’ve tested
When Salesforce is specified as the data source, the Row ID is specified as the key item.
When I specify Salesforce as the data source, the Row ID is specified as the key item. This indicates the SalesforceID, and I understand it so far.

However, my understanding is that the SalesforceID is issued when a record is saved on Salesforce.
However, since it is a key and required field in AppSheet, the SalesforceID is required when creating a new record.

So I’m wondering if it’s possible to create a record manually from the AppSheet.

I hope someone knows how to create a Salesforce record and can help me out.

Why not just populate the Row ID with UNQIUEID()? This way there’s a value - does salesforce throw an error?

FYI: you might get somewhere faster by reaching out to support@appsheet.com - since no one else seems to be chiming in here with any experience using a Salesforce data source. (Which I have none of)
