Example

To find a Profile ID, you can create a simple query using the Profile Name shown in the Salesforce interface:

1. Add an Assign card and enter the text from the Salesforce interface, for example Standard Platform User.

2. Add a Compose card and using the output from the Assign card as the search term, write a simple SQL query: SELECT Id, Name from Profile where Name='Profile Name'.

3. Use the query output as the input to an SOQL Query on an Execute Query card for the Salesforce connector. This query calls the Salesforce API to find what values correspond to that profile name.

4. Pass the SOQL Query result to an At list function card with an index of 0. The function takes the first object from the list of objects returned.

5. Send the resulting object to a Get object card, searching for the path value of Id. The result is the unique Profile ID value for that Profile Name.

You can easily modify this example to retrieve the Role ID for a specific Role Name in the Salesforce interface. Change the initial text in the Assign card to the role name and modify the SQL query to: SELECT Id, Name from UserRole where Name='Role Name'.
