SQL Server to Salesforce Sync Without Code
A SQL Server to Salesforce sync keeps records from an internal database, such as customers, products or orders, aligned with Salesforce, so sales teams see current data without manual exports.
Design decisions
- Direction: one-way to Salesforce, or two-way.
- Frequency: scheduled batches or near real time.
- Keys: an external ID field in Salesforce that matches the SQL primary key.
- Conflicts: which system wins when both change.
A typical sync
- On a schedule, read changed rows from SQL Server.
- Transform values: dates, picklists, currencies.
- Upsert records in Salesforce by external ID.
- Log successes and failures.
- Alert the team when errors exceed a threshold.
Tips
- Sync only changed rows to reduce load.
- Use upserts to avoid duplicates.
- Keep the mapping documented and versioned.
