Hello I have been trying to implement my app to zapier. I am able to authenticat through oauth2 and calls are going well but I am not able to pass data to back end when I use combobox.
I created two trigger
1) First trigger doesn't have trigger field, just a polling URL which fetch data from server and set variable. It works as expected. It sets data to lets say variable "X"
2) Second trigger is basicly for using "X" I have one trigger field "Y" which is combobox and as documentation I just write X.id.name and I can see combobox with field. I want to implement combobox selected event. I implement polling url like this http://mywebpage.com/myapi/{{Y}} . But whenever I test my zap , lets say I choose id = 5. it always request http://mywebpage.com/myapi/{{Y}} but not http://mywebpage.com/myapi/5 how can I solve it.
Thanks.
Ok I found the fix. I needed to change second trigger type to Unicode, because this way I can get selected one. Now is working.

I have custom logic to create lisview with filters for any object in SF using metadata api. I noticed when I try to upadate All Opened Cases listview and add filter logic "CreatedDate equals TODAY" (put CASES.CREATED_DATE_DATE_ONLY api name for metadataapi) it's saved. But after refreshing listview getListInfoByName wire returned label = null and fieldApiName = null in filter object(listview is crushed). If I create the same filter and update listview (put CASES.CREATED_DATE api name for metadataapi) it works fine and getListInfoByName wire is not crushed. In another sanboxes it works fine with CASES.CREATED_DATE_DATE_ONLY instead of CASES.CREATED_DATE. So my question is what is the diffrence between sandboxes (some enabled features and etc.)? All sanboxes works fine with CASES.CREATED_DATE_DATE_ONLY and one only needs CASES.CREATED_DATE. Thanks.
I need understand the difference between my sanboxes or smth like that
I'm trying to do something fun: I'd like to send the record changes from one client to another and have the second client updated to show these changes. Basically collaborative viewing. The second client is disabled from making changes, he can only watch.
Simple fields like strings, numbers, checkboxes, etc. are easy, that worked right away.
The references are the problem. If I have a combo that uses another model as it's source, I am unable to update it on the second client.
I tried setting just the id, then the entire referenced object, I tried various set options, but simply no dice.
The record does change, I see that the data is updated, I was even able to manually modify the _ reference attributes, but the UI keeps showing the old values for those fields.
Is there a way to send the record from one client to another and have the other client just take over all values and display them in the UI? (it would be better to send just the changes, but I'd be very happy if I could get it to work with the entire record)
EDIT: I'm using SailsJS with socket.io, so the p2p connection is not the issue.
I'm getting the data like this:
var data = record.getData(true);
broadcastRecord(data);
And on the other side I tried:
record.set(data);
A code example for the receiving side would be appreciated, if anyone has an ide how to solve this...
I think your problem is related to associations and comboboxes.
Let's say you have a model User with a field group that references model Group, and that you have a User form with a Group combobox.
In the receiver client, you are probably getting only the group id. record.set(data) updates the bound combobox calling setValue(groupId).
This setValue will try to find the corresponding record inside its store, but it won't ask server-side for that record. Instead, it will create a new record with the passed id (showing an empty combobox).
If possibile, you can set remoteFilter:false to the store and queryMode:'local' on the combobox and preload all the data from that store.
Otherwise, I think you'll have to override the combobox setValue method to get the record remotely.
I have a form that I'm using to enter data.
I'm calling the Create action using an invoke action on refresh set on ifNeeded.
The problem I have is that when I try to navigate away with empty fields the form validation stops me from doing so.
I know the Create action shouldn't be doing this as Oracle changed that to CreateInsert but I think this is because one of the entity object attributes is of type DBSequence and to my knowledge that sets a dummy value of -1 until the db trigger changes it.
What can I do to enable the user to leave the page empty and navigate away?
Set immediate to true.

When a user 'Saves' a Contact (for example), whether it's new or just updated, I need to:
Do an external callout using one of the Contact field values as a lookup
Display the results of the callout, so the user can make a selection
Update the Contact based on the user's selection display the updated Contact
I have found two aproaches, but have reached a point in both that I need to resolve.
Trigger Based Method
In the 'after' trigger pass the lookup string to a callback.
Update the Contact with the selection
Issues
How do you pass the lookup string or results to a visualforce page to display the lookup results?
When the user makes the selection and the update has been done, how do I move back to the updated contact?
Override Base Method
I found a discussion here that seems to suggests using overriding & redirection to someone asking about 'Edit'. I think this could also be done with the 'Save' button.
Issue
This is meant to be a deployable sollution, so I think that the override has to be set in code (I'm using the IDE) and not via Setup (or am I wrong?). I can't find out if this is possible or how to do it
Sorry for detailed question. Didn't want to just ask the wrong question (i.e. assume I know the best approach).
Thanks...
For the trigger-based method, you cannot change the built-in Save functionality, but (per your second solution) you can override the Edit button and recreate the Edit page with Visualforce, which would give you full control over the Save button and how you handle the callout and redirecting.
The release notes for Spring '10 indicate that standard-button overrides are now available for packaging, as they can be created through the Metadata API.
I cannot find where in the salesforce.com UI I can add a trigger on a file attachment. I can find triggers on almost everything else, but attachment seems to be missing from the list (even when I view source on the page and search it. Does anyone know WHERE I can put this trigger in?
There is no way to do it directly as Attachment is one of those "lesser" objects that salesforce really gets "protective" about in a random and biased way. The only "legit" way to do it is to use some external build&deploy tools such as Force.com IDE.
If however you are not a stranger to undocumented 'hacks' do the following. Go to any object's trigger list and click create new. In the URL locate entity query string parameter (e.g. entity=Case) and change it to Attachment (entity=Attachment) and press Enter. Newl loaded screen will accept Attachment trigger.
Using Eclipse (Force.com IDE plug-in), right-click on your project & select "New" > "Apex Trigger". In the dialogue window that pops up, there is an "Object" dropdown / picklist, choose the object you want from this list - "Note" or "Attachment" etc. - then choose the "events" you want to trigger to execute on.
NOTE: a best practice is only one (1) trigger per object since you cannot guarantee the order in which multiple triggers on the same object will execute.
Have you tried creating the trigger from, force.com IDE??
In my opinion it should be possible from there.
To write a trigger for attachment, there is no straight way to do it but you can do it.
By creating a trigger on other object for example create a trigger in contact object then the url of the current page shows
"https://ap1.salesforce.com/........./&entity=Contact" you have to change "entity=Attachment"
then the trigger will be created for attachment object.
