Using an external ID with related objects

In salesforce.com, when a Create or Upsert operation is selected, you can use external ID fields to relate target objects to other objects. For example, a Contact object can relate to an Account object, based on the value of an external ID field defined in the Account object.

Procedure

  1. In the salesforce.com Target editor, select either Create objects or the Upsert objects option from the Operations menu.
  2. In the Available Fields section, select the field which relates to the intended object. Those fields which contain a defined external ID display a selection list in the Type column. Select the required external ID field from the list.
  3. Click Done.
