To update Salesforce objects using a Data Mapper Load, issue a POST request that includes a JSON payload that is formatted to comply with the input that the Data Mapper load expects. To retrieve data from Salesforce, issue a GET call to a Data Mapper Extract, specifying the Id or parameters identifying the data to be retrieved. The data is returned in the response in JSON format.
