I was able to create a new Case using the REST API but i need some help regarding these.
How to create cases in bulk ?
Can we create cases with attachments(CSV) ?
I was able to create case with attachments.
we need to use two different APIs
First we need to create case using this api
/services/data/v55.0/sobjects/Case
After Creating case it will return Case Id
Second we need to use ContentVersion API
/services/data/v55.0/sobjects/ContentVersion
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/dome_sobject_insert_update_blob.htm
Convert File to Base64
payload = json.dumps({
'Title': 'file.csv',
'PathOnClient': 'Simple',
'ContentLocation': 'S',
'FirstPublishLocationId': caseid,
'VersionData': Base64
})

I'm working on a UWP app that needs to check to see if a mobile service table has any records.
I realize I could do something like this and check to see if any records are returned:
records = await MyTable.Select(x => x).ToCollectionAsync();
However, is there a way to do this that won't attempt to download every record into a collection? What would be great is if something like this were allowed, but it isn't:
setupOfferors = await setupOfferorsTable.Select(so => so).FirstOrDefault();
Thanks!
There's no built-in method for you to check if the Azure mobile service table is empty. But you could try to apply the specified take clause to the source query and execute this query to see if it will return data.
For example:
await setupOfferorsTable.Select(so => so).Take(1).ToCollectionAsync();
I am actually trying to implement text-to-speech conversion in Salesforce by hitting a third-party api. When i send the request through Postman, i get back the proper response in .wav format. However, I'm not being able to handle this reponse programatically in salesforce end, as I am not able to store the response in any audio object.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Abhishek.
Not 100% sure of what your trying to do but it would look something like this assuming you built your object correctly
ResponseObject result = new ResponseObject();
result = (InnerClasses.ResponseObject)JSON.deserialize(json, InnerClasses.ResponseObject.class);
This is supported by IBM's Watson Salesforce SDK, available here
The functional tests for Watson's text-to-speech services can be found here refer to the method
testSynthesize(String username, String password, String customizationId)
The audio file returned as part of the response could be saved as an attachment in Salesforce by simply creating it from the IBMWatsonFile like on this example,
IBMWatsonFile resp = textToSpeech.synthesize(options);
Attachment attachment = new Attachment();
attachment.Body = resp.body();
attachment.Name = resp.name();
attachment.ParentId = '<your salesforce parent id>';
insert attachment;
This code uses basically the method getBodyAsBlob() available from the HttpResponse class
before using this approach, please consider the governor limits enforced by Salesforce on any APEX callout, refer to the Maximum size of callout request or response documented here
I am attempting to send back to the sever the user information from satellizer.
I believe the call is as per this url:
https://github.com/sahat/satellizer#authauthenticatename-userdata
$auth.authenticate(name, [userData])
However when I use it :
$auth.authenticate('facebook', ['userData'])
my sever receives :
{ '0': 'userData',
code: 'AQB8ofHRuC',
clientId: '1625070294abcdef',
redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/' }
instead of actually receiving the userData.. what am i missing here ?
[userdata] is a kind of custom data, this means that you can put in it your data (some values). When you put $auth.authenticate('facebook', ['userData']) you put an array with one string element 'userData'. I think that it make sens to grab info on server by uid.
UPDATE
I found recent a link
https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/blob/master/examples/server/node/server.js#L537. You can translate node js code in your server programming language code.
I have a model called Request. A request is created with a parent User like so:
request = Request(parentUserKey)
Now, the key_name for a User is that user's email, so when I create a new user, I do:
user = User(key_name = 'abc#gmail.com')
So what I want to do now is to create a key using Key.from_path for a Request, so I try:
requestKey = Key.from_path('User', 'abc#gmail.com', 'Request', 1)
I put 1 because I will use this key to fetch all Requests with ID higher than 1 (or any other arbitrary int) via the following:
requestQuery.filter("__key__ >", requestKey)
Then for testing purposes, I try to convert the key to a string via keyString = str(requestKey), but I get the following error:
Cannot string encode an incomplete key
What am I doing wrong?
To elaborate on what Guido wrote, doing all of this work to manually create a key probably isn't the best approach to solve your problem. Rather, if you store all of User's Request entities in User's entity group, you can simply and straight-forwardly retrieve them with an ancestor query.
First, to make all of the Request entities children of User, we're going to slightly change the way that you instantiate a Request object:
request = Request(parent=parentUser) # Where parentuser is a User already in the datastore
# Do whatever else you need to do to initialize this entity
request.put()
Now, to get all of the Request objects that belong to User, you just:
requests = Request.all().ancestor(parentUser).fetch(1000)
# Obviously, you want to intelligently manage the condition of having
# more that 1000 Requests using cursors if need be.
Having the ability to manually create Keys using all of the path info is great, but it is also often more work than is necessary.
Does this solve your use-case?
A key with a 0 id is not valid. Instead of that filter, use an ancestor query.
I need to extract attatchments out of salesforce? I need to transfer some notes and attachments into another environmant. I am able to extract the notes but not sure how to go about extracting the attatchments
Thanks
Prady
This mostly depends on what tools/utilities you use to extract. The SOQL for Attachment sObject will always return one row at a time if Body field is included in the query. This is enforced to conserver resources and prevent overbearing SOQL scripts.
Approach #1, if queryMore is not available: Issue a SOQL without Body field to enumerate all attachments, then issue one SOQL per attachment ID to retrieve Body
Approach #2: Issue a SOQL to retrieve all needed attachments then loop using queryMore to get them one at a time.
Approach #3: If you can "freeze" the SF environment and just want to take snapshot of the system to pre-load a different one to be used going forward you can use "data exports". In setup menu, in data management there is an export data command, make sure you click "Include in export" to include all binary data. After due process it will give you a complete data backup you can crunch offline.
Btw, body is base64 encoded, you'll need to decode it to get the actual binary
Here is the solution I've used to get the attachment binary content from SalesForce. The example in their documentation points the following:
curl
https://na1.salesforce.com/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/Document/015D0000000NdJOIA0/body
-H "Authorization: Bearer token"
So there are a couple different elements here. The host (https://na1.salesforce.com) you should be able to get after the login process, this host is session based so it can always change. Second element is the rest of the URL, that you will get from the "body" field of the Attachment object. Third and last element is the Authorization header, which is composed by the string "Bearer ", plus the token that is given to you after you authenticate with the SF backend.
The response is the binary file, it is NOT in base64, just save it to a file and you are good to go.
Here is an example of how I did it in Objective C:
// How to get the correct host, since that is configured after the login.
NSURL * host = [[[[SFRestAPI sharedInstance] coordinator] credentials] instanceUrl];
// The field Body contains the partial URL to get the file content
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", [host absoluteString], {AttachmentObject}.body]];
// Creating the Authorization header. Important to add the "Bearer " before the token
NSString *authHeader = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Bearer %#",[[[[SFRestAPI sharedInstance] coordinator] credentials] accessToken]];
NSMutableURLRequest * urlRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:60.0];
[urlRequest addValue:authHeader forHTTPHeaderField:#"Authorization"];
[urlRequest setHTTPMethod:#"GET"];
urlConnection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:urlRequest delegate:self];
Hope it helps.
You can use SOQl Query options, or if you are looking for some automation tool that will help you with quick export, then you can try AppExchange App Satrang Mass File Download - https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000EcsAOUAZ&tab=e

In SalesForce attachment will be against an Object for e.g. Account object.
Steps to retrieve attachment (in Java)
Get the ID of the Object to which a file is attached. e.q. Account Object
String pid = Account__r().getId();
Execute a Query on Salesforce Object "Attachment" for the ID in Step 1
*String q = "Select Name, Body, ContentType from Attachment
where ParentId = '" + pid + "'";
QueryResult qr = connection.query(q);
SObject[] sarr = qr.getRecords();*
SObject so = sarr[0];
Typecast Salesforce Generic Object (SObject) to "Attachment" object
*Attachment att = (Attachment)so;*
Retrieve the Byte Array Stream from Body of Attachment, and do the operation needed on byte array.
*byte[] bName = att.getBody();
// Do your operation in byte array stream*
