Turn monitored Salesforce record changes into events
Keep selected record changes visible in Datadog by recording the Salesforce updates that matter to your work.
Trigger
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
Action
