Export Salesforce Data to a New CSV File

Data Sync makes it very quick and easy to export data from Salesforce into a new CSV file.

The video below covers how to export data from a Salesforce object to a new CSV File. It covers using the connection library to make the project setup quicker.

Connect to Salesforce

To get started connect to the Salesforce object you want to export data from.

Add the columns to the Schema

Now add the columns you want to export to the schema map and make sure to select a key column. Usually this is an ID column that can be used to identify each record.

Your new CSV file is going to use the schema map of the source columns as the template, so the column names will match the names from Salesforce.

Create the CSV file

Data Sync has a built in feature to create a CSV file based off the source columns added to the schema map.

To create the CSV go to Tools > Create CSV File and then select a location in the file explorer to save the file to.

Compare & Sync

Once you have configured your schema map, click the Compare A > B button in the toolbar. This will open the compare results where you can preview the changes to be made.

Then click Synchronise and Start to begin the sync. Your Salesforce data has now been added to the CSV file.
