Salesforce Recipes: During the last post we discussed about Salesforce Analytics studio feature called “Direct Connector” which helps you to connect snowflake in real time. With Direct Connector, access the Data stores in Snowflake without moving or duplicating data in Salesforce. Now as per the new ask, Salesforce team has created custom objects which needs to be populated from Snowflake. Business wants to move the data from Snowflake to Salesforce without any 3rd party ETL tools.
In current scenario, we have few Lookup or Small tables in Snowflake and this data to be move into Salesforce custom objects. Initially we proposed Reverse Synch ETL tools, Data Import wizard or Data loader utility to ingest into Salesforce. But we see issues like cost of purchasing the third party tool, Record count limitation with Import wizard or export the data into Excel or csv.
Accordingly, Business has asked if there is an out of box connector in Salesforce which we can leverage for this pipeline. Emphatically, Salesforce has Snowflake Connector, uses Recipe to extract data from Snowflake and load into Salesforce objects.
