FAQ

Questions about Salesforce Opportunity Updated.

How does the Salesforce Opportunity Updated trigger work in Salesforce?

Fires on any opportunity change. For "stage moved to Closed Won" specifically, filter the payload before downstream side-effects.

Is the Salesforce Opportunity Updated trigger real-time?

Yes. Salesforce Opportunity Updated uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Salesforce.

What data does Salesforce Opportunity Updated return?

The full event payload from Salesforce. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Salesforce Opportunity Updated so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Salesforce admin permissions to use Salesforce Opportunity Updated?

For most Salesforce accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Salesforce plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Salesforce's docs if the trigger fails to register.
