Which Salesforce Objects Don't Support History Mode?

Question

Which Salesforce objects don't support the history mode sync mode?

Environment

Connector: Salesforce

Answer

Salesforce objects where you have enabled field history tracking are not compatible with history mode. The Salesforce field history tracking feature already records changes and creates a corresponding object with the suffix History.

For example, if field history tracking is enabled for the ACCOUNT object, Salesforce creates a corresponding AccountHistory object. As a result, enabling history mode provides no additional value.

Other objects that do not support history mode include:

• Metadata tables, which have the suffix _mdt.
• Tables without incremental or modifiable columns.
• Tables with an incremental column that is not sortable.
• Tooling API objects, such as EntityDefinition, FieldDefinition, ExternalString, and ExternalStringLocalization.
