Salesforce Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example: connect to Salesforce, run a SOQL query, and perform basic CRUD on standard sObjects (Account, Contact, Lead).

Prerequisites

• Completed salesforce-install-auth setup
• jsforce installed (npm install jsforce)
• Valid credentials in environment variables

Instructions

Step 1: Connect and Query Accounts

import jsforce from 'jsforce';

const conn = new jsforce.Connection({
  loginUrl: process.env.SF_LOGIN_URL || 'https://login.salesforce.com',
});

await conn.login(
  process.env.SF_USERNAME!,
  process.env.SF_PASSWORD! + process.env.SF_SECURITY_TOKEN!
);

// Your first SOQL query — fetch 5 Accounts
const result = await conn.query(
  "SELECT Id, Name, Industry, AnnualRevenue FROM Account LIMIT 5"
);

console.log(`Total records: ${result.totalSize}`);
for (const account of result.records) {
  console.log(`  ${account.Name} — ${account.Industry ?? 'N/A'}`);
}

Step 2: Create a Record

// Create a new Account
 newAccount =  conn.().({
  : ,
  : ,
  : ,
  : ,
});

.(, newAccount.);
.(, newAccount.);
