# digest Transformation

The digest transformation extracts synced connected data in a dataflow. Use it to extract data synced from an external Salesforce org, or data synced through an external connection. Use the sfdcDigest transformation to extract from your local Salesforce org.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_example.png)

Example

Let’s say you extract opportunity data from your company’s org in Arizona using a Salesforce external connection. To use this data in your dataflow, add a digest node specifying the connection name, object, and fields.

```
"Extract Arizona Opportunities": {
    "action": "digest",
    "parameters": {
        "connectionName": "Arizona_Sales",
        "object": "Opportunity",
        "fields": [
        {"name": "CloseDate"},
        {"name": "Amount"},
        {"name": "StageName"},
        {"name": "Name"}
      ],
    }
  },
```

- **[digest Parameters](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_integrate_digest_transformation_operation.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When you define a digest transformation, you set the action attribute to `digest` and specify the parameters.
