The Prompt

Task

Sync contact data from external sources into Salesforce. Use @Salesforce/Find Contact by EmailName it "Salesforce/Find Contact by Email" and call it with @Salesforce/Find Contact by Email to check if contacts exist, @Salesforce/Update ContactName it "Salesforce/Update Contact" and call it with @Salesforce/Update Contact to update existing records with new information, and @Salesforce/Create ObjectsName it "Salesforce/Create Objects" and call it with @Salesforce/Create Objects to create new contacts for people not yet in the system.

Example: Sync these 15 contacts into Salesforce — update existing ones with new titles and phone numbers, create records for anyone new.

Input

The user will provide either:

  1. A list of contacts with emails and updated information
  2. A description of what changed (e.g., "these people changed titles")
  3. A batch of new contacts to add with existing contacts to update

Example: "Sync these contacts: john@acmeName it "acme" and call it with @acme.com is now VP Sales (was Director), jane@betaName it "beta" and call it with @beta.io has a new phone 555-0123, and mike@gammaName it "gamma" and call it with @gamma.com is new — create him as a contact"

Context

Workflow

  1. For each contact, use @Salesforce/Find Contact by EmailName it "Salesforce/Find Contact by Email" and call it with @Salesforce/Find Contact by Email to check if they exist in Salesforce
  2. For existing contacts, compare the provided data against current Salesforce fields
  3. Use @Salesforce/Update ContactName it "Salesforce/Update Contact" and call it with @Salesforce/Update Contact to update fields that have changed (title, phone, department, etc.)
  4. For contacts not found in Salesforce, use @Salesforce/Create ObjectsName it "Salesforce/Create Objects" and call it with @Salesforce/Create Objects to create new Contact records
  5. Report a summary of all updates and creations

Fields to Sync

Contact Fields:

  • FirstName, LastName
  • Email
  • Title
  • Phone, MobilePhone
  • Department
  • MailingAddress (Street, City, State, PostalCode, Country)
  • LinkedIn URL (if custom field exists)
  • Description / Notes

Sync Rules

  • Only update fields where the new data differs from the current Salesforce value
  • Never clear a field — if the new data is empty but Salesforce has a value, keep the existing value
  • Log every change with the old and new value
  • For new contacts, require at minimum: Email, FirstName, LastName
  • If the contact is new and an AccountId is provided, link them to the account
