A native desktop GUI to import objects in Salesforce. Supports transactional imports via composite API requests and more complex behaviors by creating series of standard API requests that are triggered in series of steps that can be skipped depending on the results of the previous calls.
Salesforce Object Flow lets you assemble a single transactional Composite API call that creates objects across multiple related tables (Account + Contact + custom objects, etc.) in one round-trip — all-or-nothing, with per-field validation and clear error reporting on the rare partial-success edge case.
Register one Salesforce org per environment (production, sandbox, scratch). Each connection points at your own External Client App so OAuth tokens stay scoped to credentials you control; the page hosts a step-by-step helper for that one-time Setup wiring. Test and Re-auth verify or refresh tokens without leaving the app, and the footer selector picks the active connection used by every other tab.
Browse the SObject catalogue of the active connection with type-ahead search across standard and custom objects. Selecting an object surfaces its CRUD capabilities and the full field list — API name, type, length, picklist size, and reference targets — so you can pick the right names while assembling a request.
Define how an input CSV (or other delimited file) is parsed: delimiter, quote character, header row, encoding, and a typed column schema with per-column nullability. Each saved format is a reusable template that drives {{placeholder}} substitution in Composite Requests.
Generate synthetic CSV data that matches a saved file format — pick faker locales, set a row count, and map columns to providers (name, email, pyint, …). The output CSV is immediately consumable by any Composite or Serial template that uses that format.
Compose multi-step Composite API templates. A template binds to a File Format (its columns drive {{placeholder}} substitution from each input row), toggles allOrNone and same-method collation, and holds an ordered list of subrequests — HTTP method, REST path, and body — up to the Salesforce limit of 25 per call. The toolbar previews the resolved JSON and runs the request against the active connection.
When a flow can't fit into a single Composite payload — too many steps, branching that depends on a prior response, or steps that should be allowed to fail individually — assemble it as a Serial Request instead. A definition is an ordered list of independent REST calls; each step can carry a per-step condition (exists, status_ok, records_count_gt, eq, …) evaluated against earlier responses, references resolved client-side via @{ref.path}, and an allowsFailure-style continue_on_failure toggle. The executor runs the sequence once per CSV row and can export failed rows back to a CSV for cleanup and re-import.
0.1.0a6 — sixth alpha. The six panes shown above are wired end-to-end: connections persist with secrets stored in the OS keyring, the Object Explorer reads the live SObject catalogue, and File Format, Sample File, Composite Request and Serial Request definitions are saved locally and can be previewed and executed against the selected org. Boolean, integer, decimal and null body fields are now serialized as their real JSON types. Serial step conditions can read directly from CSV input columns and gained begins_with / ends_with predicates. Serial runs can now process multiple CSV rows in parallel through a configurable worker count; 401 token refresh is serialized so concurrent rows share a single refresh. Expect rough edges around error reporting, partial-success handling on the Composite response, and template import/export — feedback and bug reports are very welcome.
The UI ships translated to English (source) and Spanish (es). The locale is picked up from your environment (LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LANG); to force it for a single run:
LANGUAGE=es uv run salesforce-object-flowTranslations cover the whole UI plus service-layer error messages. Adding a new locale only requires translating po/<lang>.po — see the Translations section in CONTRIBUTING.md for the workflow.
The installation instructions for Linux, macOS and Windows are available at INSTALL.md.
The full development workflow is described at CONTRIBUTING.md.
