A Vlocity DataRaptor Upsert Mapping determines whether to update or create a record using which identifier?

• A. External Id
• B. Record Type
• C. Object Name
• D. Salesforce Id

Answer: (D)

The identifier used by the Upsert mapping to decide between updating an existing record or creating a new one is the Salesforce Id. This unique Id points to a specific record in Salesforce. When the incoming data includes a Salesforce Id that matches an existing record, the Upsert updates that record with the new values. If there’s no matching Id, the operation creates a new record. This behavior makes sense because the Salesforce Id uniquely identifies records, allowing precise updates of existing data. (Note: in general, external IDs can also be used for upsert in Salesforce, but this mapping specifically uses the Salesforce Id as the key.)
