How to Sync to Manually
Step 1: Export Data from Salesforce
Begin by exporting the data you need from Salesforce. Log in to your Salesforce account and navigate to the "Data Export" option under "Setup." Create a new export task, select the objects (tables) you wish to export, and choose the file format (CSV is recommended for compatibility). Once the export is ready, download the file to your local system.
Step 2: Review and Clean Exported Data
Open the exported CSV files in a spreadsheet application like Excel or Google Sheets. Review the data to ensure it is complete and accurate. Remove any unnecessary columns or rows, and address any formatting issues to prepare the data for import into Convex.
Step 3: Understand Convex Data Requirements
Familiarize yourself with the data structure and requirements of Convex. Access Convex's documentation or database schema to understand how data should be formatted and what fields are mandatory. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth import process.
Step 4: Transform Data to Match Convex Schema
Using your spreadsheet application, transform the Salesforce data to match the Convex schema. This may involve renaming columns, changing data types, or reformatting fields. Ensure that all required fields in Convex are populated and that the data aligns with Convex's specifications.
Step 5: Prepare Data for Import
Once the data is transformed, save it in a format that Convex can accept, typically CSV or JSON. Ensure that the file is free of errors and that all data is correctly formatted and validated according to Convex's requirements.
Step 6: Import Data into Convex
Log in to your Convex account and navigate to the data import section. Follow the prompts to upload your prepared data file. Use the import tools provided by Convex to map the data fields from your file to the corresponding fields in Convex. Carefully review and confirm the mappings to prevent errors.
Step 7: Verify Data Integrity in Convex
After the import is complete, verify that the data has been correctly imported into Convex. Check a sample of records to ensure that the data appears as expected and that there are no discrepancies. Perform any necessary adjustments or re-imports if issues are found.
By following these steps, you can successfully transfer data from Salesforce to Convex without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
