Can I Sync Data to Salesforce Industries BPUs?

Question

Does Activations support syncing data from Snowflake to Salesforce Industries Business Processing Units (BPUs), or does this require a custom setup?

Environment

• Fivetran Activations
• Destination: Salesforce
• Source: Snowflake

Answer

Activations writes data using the Salesforce Bulk API and supports standard and custom Salesforce objects (sObjects) that are accessible and writable by the connected user. Therefore, we support sending BPU data exposed as a standard or custom sObject in Salesforce, but not data accessible only through Salesforce Industries-specific APIs, such as industries.sfdcfc.net.

Workarounds

If we don't directly support your BPU data, use one of the following options:

• HTTP Request destination: Suitable for API-based integrations with minimal setup.
• Custom Destination API: Recommended for complex use cases requiring batching, transformation, upsert logic, or advanced error handling.

Key considerations

• Activations is subject to Bulk API constraints, including potential impacts from triggers, flows, and permission settings.
• For Salesforce Industries integrations, ensure the target objects are accessible through standard Salesforce APIs rather than requiring specialized endpoints.
