Salesforce Input Connector - BULK API

Status: Accepting Votes Submitted by on ‎03-21-2022 03:36 PM

Salesforce Input connector tool currently uses REST API.

Can we please enhance this tool to use BULK API?

 

Use Case:

We are sourcing about 2 million rows of opportunity data from Salesforce do to some insight analysis. This Alteryx workflow takes over an hour to run. The same dataset when pulled using a different ETL tool (Informatica) produces the dataset within 2 min! That makes a HUGE difference when you have a number of process to run in a limited amount of time. Enabling BULK API functionality on Salesforce input tool will help solve this problem.

We are just getting this issue. We need to use the Bulk API as well.  I am doing updates in DataLoader now.
