Patching Records to Salesforce

Hi All!

I've had a lot of luck with patching records to SharePoint lists in Power Apps to update and store data, but I'm working with a Salesforce data set for the first time, and would love to know how to perform a similar Patch operation to a given Salesforce table.

SharePoint version:
NEW: Patch(DataSource, Defaults(DataSource), {'Field Name': NewData});
UPDATE: Patch(DataSource, First(Filter(DataSource,ID = Items.ID)),{'Field Name': NewData});

How can I do the same things for Salesforce tables? Thanks!

Hi @jPruett ,

Do you want to patch records back to your Salesforce Table using Patch function?

Regarding the needs that you mentioned, I think the Patch function could achieve your needs. The Patch formula is similar to the formula that you mentioned.

# Add new entry into your Salesforce table

Patch( 'Salesforce Table', Defaults('Salesforce Table'), { Column1: "xxxx", Column2: "xxxxx", ... } )

# Update an existing record

Patch( 'Salesforce Table', LookUp('Salesforce Table', 'Primary Column' = "xxxxxx"), // find the record you want to update through Primary Key Column in your table { Column1: "xxxx", Column2: "xxxxx", ... } )

Please try above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Regards,

Hi @v-xida-msft i tried the above solution but it gives an error "update source is either read only or has no primary key so patch function can't work". do you have any solutions for this scenario?
