We're just made live the second version of our Salesforce connector. Professional users can use it by going to the connector tab for your form, and accessing the 'Salesforce [v2.0 beta]'.
For more details, please see our blog post on this update. http://www3.formassembly.com/blog/check-out-the-new-salesforce-connector/
If you have any issues, please let us know in this thread or open a support request.
----- Updates in this edition are the following:
Allows multiple instances of a given record type ( multiple attachments to a single record ).
A redesigned and improved user interface that places dependent objects now displayed under parent objects.
Improved 'search' / 'lookup' abilities off internal salesforce org data.
Conditional creation of objects.
Access to new data types on objects: rich text fields Salesforce content library
With the new connector, in order to prepopulate a web form from a salesforce record from within the page layout using a custom button, do we still need to create a prefill URL link in the button setup as follows?
Yes, prefilling links is still necessary for transferring data from Salesforce to a FormAssembly form. The Salesforce connector does not run until after a form response is submitted, so there is no way that a connector setup could fill data in a form for the user. Note that such a connection would also be a security issue without some form of user authentication.
Does that answer your question? Drew. FormAssembly.com Support.
