Have you ever built a house? Even non-architects know that a typical house needs groundwork, walls, and a roof to be called a house. Every element is a must-have in this construction, but no house is without groundwork.
So, if you wanna live in a house named “My Successful Business,” your first brick in its groundwork is data management. And it would be cool to find an honest Genie, like a certified Salesforce admin, ready to help you build it.
Why this one? Because you need nothing to start the work except a laptop, an internet connection, and the opened app.
Still, sound strange? Ok, stay ready; we’re rubbing the lamp.
Imagine that each piece of data is a brick your house will be built with. Data management is your architect in building a house, polishing each data brick and helping you decide where to create an internal wall, where to add a window to see a perfect view, and so on.
DID YOU KNOW?
Data Loader is free for 30 days with all Salesforce editions and is perfect for managing lots of records.
The magic word here is “analysis“. It saves time and costs and makes you successful just because you know everything about your business, neighbors, and competitors and what’s next to step higher than everyone else, especially if you’re a stranger in this race.
Do you still remember Genie? Data Loader Salesforce is his first name. What is this wizard capable of doing with your data bricks? Almost everything you need on this step for your success. His job is data export and import. With him, you can import CSV files manually, or store them on FTP or cloud file storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box and automate Salesforce data export.
The second name is Convenience. You can set the schedule and have a cup of coffee or tea while waiting for your data integration tasks to analyze what’s going on for further work.
You may ask Genie for two wishes called Data Import and Export business scenarios.
While building the house, we wanna be sure that our architect’s plan is kind of enchanted. But even this enchantment named Data Import is based on four working things explaining why we need it.
So, now you know why, let’s see how. You may upload CSV files for import manually from a storage service or upload them from a database or cloud app in a few clicks. Just select the source type, connection, and target, set the task up, save the story, and run it.
If the scenario needs some corrections and updates, click the magic scenario name in Task Editor, select the operation in the Target Definition tab, and have fun in the Mapping definition tab at last. Don’t forget to save the changes when finished.
The same story with export. We still need to understand how the magic works. So the similar four reasons are here:
The export scenario is simple. Select the source (Salesforce), target type (CSV download manually), or (CSV to storage service), add the task in the Task Editor, create the scenario, and run it. And, of course, don’t forget about the Monitor and Log tabs to download the exported file. Genie says “Hello” to Cinderella at this step and reminds everyone not to forget to download the Salesforce export file within seven days of the component run.
Skyvia Salesforce Data Loader is a Genie, that solves your data export and import wishes. Its usability is amazing.
With it, you’re sure that your data bricks are always accurate, valid, and ready to become a part of a cool house.
