Join the March edition of Agentforce NOW Ask Me Anything!

If you have been working with the MCP beta or architecting away from legacy REST integrations, the March edition of our Agentforce NOW session is the technical deep dive for you. 

As Salesforce-hosted MCP servers reach GA this Spring, this month’s edition of our popular Ask Me Anything series will enable developers to expose existing Salesforce logic (Apex, REST APIs, AI, Metadata) as a mix of Tools and Prompts. Product Manager expert @Ross Belmont will showcase moving beyond one-off REST API connectors to standardized, agentic workflows, implementing standards-based authentication for agent-driven operations, and managing governance as the agent landscape scales. 

This is a great opportunity to get into the weeds on operational flow, named credentials, and the security models that make these integrations enterprise-ready. Hosted by Salesforce Developer Advocate @Alba Rivas, they'll answer your questions live during the session.

How to Upsert Multiple Object Records Using External Id In Salesforce REST API?

{{endpoint}}/services/data/v61.0/composite/sobjects

This is my endpoint url

And this is how i'am sending the request

{

    "allOrNone" : false,

    "records" : [{

        "attributes" : {"type" : "Account"},

        "Name" : "Test 1",

        "AccountCode" : "1234"

    }, {

        "attributes" : {"type" : "Contact"},

        "Name" : "Test 2",

        "ContactCode" : "5678"

    }]

}

]

 AccountCode & ContactCode is my external id field 

If i try to do patch with single object then it works , 

But I want to do it for multiple object in single request.

Thanks in advance <

[▶️]🔴🔥🎬 How to Only Update Salesforce Records Using External IDs in REST API

Before Summer 24 Release i.e. before API version 61, when you use the HTTP Patch call to do some update on record, Salesforce performs the upsert operation i.e. if the record found with matching external id, api call is going to update the matching record, but if there is no matching record with the external id, then api call is going to create the new record with the details provided in the HTTP call request body. So it is basically an upsert operation.

But after Summer 24 release i.e. API version 61, Salesforce is introducing a parameter which you can pass in the API call to make sure it will only do the update to the existing record and if the existing record not found, it is not going to create a new record. The process will stop there.

So in this blog post and youtube video, I am going to explain this powerful enhancement. Please provide your feedback what do you think about this new powerful feature.
