Salesforce Streams (Deprecated)

Note: This listener has been deprecated and will not be supported going forward. While it will continue to work for the existing integrations, it cannot be used to create new integrations. It is recommended to switch to Listeners for a seamless integration experience.

The Salesforce Streams service allows you to listen to specific streaming events of your Salesforce account and perform relevant actions when the specified events occur.

Triggers

  • PushTopic Events: Triggers when a PushTopic event occurs

  • Platform Events: Triggers when a platform event occurs

  • Change Data Capture Events: Triggers when a change data capture event occurs

  • Generic Events: Triggers when a generic event occurs

Common Questions

Why can’t I save the Change Data Capture Events trigger even after filling out all the input fields?

Before you can save the Change Data Capture Events trigger, you need to set up the entity for which you want to set up the trigger in your Salesforce account. To do so, follow the instructions given below:

Add and configure the Salesforce - Change Data Capture Events trigger as you would normally do. For our example, we will set up this trigger for the Account entity.

If you try to save the trigger, at this point, you will receive the following error because, we have not yet set up the ‘Account’ entity in our Salesforce account. :

Next, login to your Salesforce account, click on the Setup menu, and search for Change Data Capture in the search bar.

Click on the Change Data Capture link found in the search result. The Change Data Capture screen appears where you can see the list of entities available in your account.

Search the entity for which you want to set up the trigger, click the entity name, and click the Right Arrow button to select it.

Once you have selected the entity, click Save.

This will set up the selected entity for your Salesforce account.

Navigate back to your Salesforce Streams trigger workflow and try saving the trigger now.
