bermager@gmail.com How to link Contact with Account
Hi, guys!
Is it possible to create an account record and a related contact using single request?
I have something like this for adding an account, but I can't figure out how to add a contact under it....
Here is the request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:urn1="urn:sobject.enterprise.soap.sforce.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Header> <urn:SessionHeader> <urn:sessionId>00Db0000000JZ76!ARQAQNTjur2522OhStGS0BXeikNeoyFg0ddL4uSue7nNuiY27f39u_IkOZruHEsS5rCwu3rtSfjZgqfaLRsg3dqeb8uHUX8B</urn:sessionId> </urn:SessionHeader> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <urn:create> <urn:sObjects xsi:type="Account"> <urn1:Name>SOAPUI_test1</urn1:Name> <urn1:Contacts> </urn1:Contacts> </urn:sObjects> </urn:create> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>
Thanks in advance!
The out of the box Web Services (SOAP API / REST API) give you CRUD and Query API's. These API's will not let you create two records in one request that are of different types (I.E. Account and Contact in one request).
However you can achieve this using custom Apex Web Services.
Using Apex Web Services you could create a service which takes an Account and Contact record in one request and creates both records in SFDC.
