HTTP Request and Salesforce integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for HTTP Request and Salesforce and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, Sales, and Communication workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect HTTP Request and Salesforce

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure HTTP Request and Salesforce nodes

You can find HTTP Request and Salesforce in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure HTTP Request and Salesforce nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect HTTP Request and Salesforce

A connection establishes a link between HTTP Request and Salesforce (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your HTTP Request and Salesforce integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect HTTP Request and Salesforce with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your HTTP Request and Salesforce workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from HTTP Request to Salesforce or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Create Salesforce accounts based on Excel File data

This workflow shows a no code approach to creating Salesforce accounts and contacts based on data coming from an Excel file. For Excel 365 (the online version of Microsoft Excel) check out this workflow instead.

To run the workflow:

Make sure your Salesforce account is authenticated with n8n.
Have a Microsoft Excel workbook with contacts and their account names ready. The workflow uses this example file, but you probably want to use your own data instead.

Hit the Execute Workflow button at the bottom of the n8n canvas.

Here is how it works:

The workflow first searches for existing Salesforce accounts by name. It then branches out depending on whether the account already exists in Salesforce or not. If an account does not exist yet, it will be created. The data is then normalised before both branches converge again. Finally the contacts are created or updated as needed in Salesforce.
