Create a Contact for an Existing Account (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, the following example of an Omnistudio Data Mapper Load creates a record in the Salesforce Contact object. A link to an Account object record with a specific Id ensures that the new Contact is related to that Account.

Managed Package app icon This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see Omnistudio Help.

The input JSON for this Data Mapper Load contains the Account Id and the Contact name, for example:

{
    "AccountId": "0016100001BKL4uAAH",
    "Name": {
        "First": "Jane",
        "Last": "Doe"
    }
}
