    Username       string
    Password       string
    SecurityToken  string
    ConsumerKey    string

    Domain:         DOMAIN,
    ConsumerKey:    CONSUMER_KEY,
    ConsumerSecret: CONSUMER_SECRET,
})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Username-Password Flow

sf, err := salesforce.Init(salesforce.Creds{
    Domain:         DOMAIN,
    Username:       USERNAME,
    Password:       PASSWORD,
    SecurityToken:  SECURITY_TOKEN,
    ConsumerKey:    CONSUMER_KEY,
    ConsumerSecret: CONSUMER_SECRET,
})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Authenticate with an Access Token

    Domain:      DOMAIN,
    AccessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN,
})
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

GetAccessToken()

func (sf *Salesforce) GetAccessToken() string

SOQL

Query Salesforce records

Query

func (sf *Salesforce) Query(query string, sObject any) error

Performs a SOQL query given a query string and decodes the response into the given struct

type Contact struct {
    Id       string
    LastName string
}

contacts := []Contact{}
err := sf.Query("SELECT Id, LastName FROM Contact WHERE LastName = 'Capehart'", &contacts)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

QueryStruct

func (sf *Salesforce) QueryStruct(soqlStruct any, sObject any) error

Performs a SOQL query given a go-soql struct and decodes the response into the given struct

type Contact struct {
    Id       string `soql:"selectColumn,fieldName=Id" json:"Id"`
    LastName string `soql:"selectColumn,fieldName=LastName" json:"LastName"`
}

type ContactQueryCriteria struct {
    LastName string `soql:"equalsOperator,fieldName=LastName"`
}

type ContactSoqlQuery struct {
    SelectClause Contact              `soql:"selectClause,tableName=Contact"`
    WhereClause  ContactQueryCriteria `soql:"whereClause"`
}

soqlStruct := ContactSoqlQuery{
    SelectClause: Contact{},
    WhereClause: ContactQueryCriteria{
        LastName: "Capehart",
    },
}
contacts := []Contact{}
err := sf.QueryStruct(soqlStruct, &contacts)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Handling Relationship Queries

When querying Salesforce objects, it's common to access fields that are related through parent-child or lookup relationships. For instance, querying Account.Name with related Contact might look like this:

Example SOQL Query
SELECT Id, Account.Name FROM Contact

Corresponding Go Structs

To effectively handle the data returned by this query, define your Go structs as follows:

type ContentDocumentLink struct {
    Id       string
    Account Account
}

type Account struct {
    Name string
}
