Hello Everybody,

I'm pretty new to the API and I am having a problem with creating a lead.  It gives me the error of Required Fields Missing. Below the code, I'll paste in the responses I get. I've also pasted in the arrays and sobject to view although I took the print_r()'s out of the code below.

FYI: I don't want to use the web-to-lead because my next step is to add more functionality when capturing a lead. I thought I'd first start with getting a lead into the system first.


Here is my code (which is pretty much from one of the samples just changed to creating a lead vs. account:

Code ( I took out the login portion):

$fields = array (

 'LastName' => $_POST['last_name'],
 'Company' => $_POST['company'],
 'Salutation' => $_POST['salutation'],
 'FirstName' => $_POST['first_name'],
 'Title' => $_POST['title'],
 'Phone' => $_POST['phone'],
 'Email' => $_POST['email'],
 'LeadSource' => $_POST['lead_source']
 );

 $sObject = new SObject();
 $sObject->type = 'Lead';
 $sObject->fields = $fields;

 echo "**** Creating the following:\r\n";
 $createResponse = $mySforceConnection->create($sObject);
 session_write_close();

} catch (Exception $e) {
 echo $mySforceConnection->getLastRequest();
 echo $e->faultstring;
}

 Responses:
This is the fields array

Array
(
    [LastName] => Last123123
    [Company] => testing
    [Salutation] => 
    [FirstName] => First123
    [Title] => test
    [Phone] => 949-555-1212
    [Email] => test@tetst.com
    [LeadSource] => Website
)

This is the sObject

SObject Object
(
    [type] => Lead
    [fields] => Array
        (
            [LastName] => Last123123
            [Company] => testing
            [Salutation] => 
            [FirstName] => First123
            [Title] => test
            [Phone] => 949-555-1212
            [Email] => test@tetst.com
            [LeadSource] => Website
        )

)

**** Creating the following:

stdClass Object
(
    [errors] => stdClass Object
        (
            [fields] => Array
                (
                    [0] => LastName
                    [1] => Company
                )

            [message] => Required fields are missing: [LastName, Company]
            [statusCode] => REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING
        )

    [id] => 
    [success] => 
)

As you can see, the sObject Array has the fields in it. So I don't know how to solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

So we can replace and redevice the logic for he standard buttons on the detail pages such as delete,
I tried, but seems to me there is no go for the Save button. Am I right?
Seems that only applies to the standard buttons, which doesn't include "Save".  So what can I do if
I want some extra logic embeded in the "Save" action? Like when the "Save" button on salesforce is pressed, I also want the record to be created or updated on our company's side.

Thanks for your input.

Hello,

I'm new to SF, and have been using it for the past 3days.... I've been programming a custom S-Control in Javascript in order to have access to the SF Database. I've had some problems but I've been able to figure them out. There's one problem that remains, though. I cannot seem to use a "Select *"-like expression in order to access all of the fields of an Account (for example)...

Can anyone help me with this problem?.. I've been reading that it has something to do with the API's describeSObject, but I'm still not certain of that.

Thank you for your help.

Hi all,

I'm just starting with Apex API, so far i used php nusoap to created leads and tasks to my dev account on Sforce.

A client just asked me to create leads in his own salesforce, the problem is that i must do this without login in with his account informations. If it is possible, how can it be done (OwnerId maybe) ?

Best regards,
Nicolas.
