  2. Step 2

    Mappings

    Map them to the Salesforce layouts.

  3. Step 3

  4. Step 4

Questions

Common questions.

Does DataBridge sync with the Salesforce API?

No. It builds the files Data Loader imports, and you run the load.

How do child records find their parents?

Through External ID relationship columns such as Account.External_ID__c. Load parents first, in the order the pack's guide gives.
