Update Record

This activity allows users to update the specific record details—such as accounts, leads, opportunities, and more—from their Salesforce account.

Properties

Below are the properties available after the project has been integrated:

   a. Open in Expression Editor: Enter the object manually in “string” format or use a variable which stores the object. 
   b. Deactivate variable: Removes the values and allows you to choose the object from the dropdown.
