Configuration
2 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
subrequests Subrequests as JSON: [{"method": "POST", "url": "/services/data/v59.0/sobjects/Account", "referenceId": "newAccount", "body": {"Name": "Acme"}}]. | array | Yes | — | array of object | — |
all_or_none True to roll every subrequest back when one of them fails. | boolean | No | false | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"all_or_none": false
}Output
One shape.

responses[].httpStatusCode The subrequest's HTTP status. | number | — |
responses[].referenceId The referenceId that was sent. | string | — |
responses[].body The subrequest's response body. | any | — |
count How many subrequest responses came back. | number | — |

{
"count": 0,
"has_errors": false,
"responses": [
{
"body": null,
"httpStatusCode": 0,
"referenceId": ""
}
]
}Notes
- Salesforce caps a composite request at 25 subrequests.
- A later subrequest reads an earlier one's output with @{referenceId.field} — a create answers with @{referenceId.id} (lower case), a read with the field's own casing, e.g. @{referenceId.Name}.

In a technical demo we add the Salesforce connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
