[▶️]🔴🔥🎬 How to Only Update Salesforce Records Using External IDs in REST API

Before Summer 24 Release i.e. before API version 61, when you use the HTTP Patch call to do some update on record, Salesforce performs the upsert operation i.e. if the record found with matching external id, api call is going to update the matching record, but if there is no matching record with the external id, then api call is going to create the new record with the details provided in the HTTP call request body. So it is basically an upsert operation.

But after Summer 24 release i.e. API version 61, Salesforce is introducing a parameter which you can pass in the API call to make sure it will only do the update to the existing record and if the existing record not found, it is not going to create a new record. The process will stop there.

So in this blog post and youtube video, I am going to explain this powerful enhancement. Please provide your feedback what do you think about this new powerful feature.
