Fields

The REST API and SOAP API use different naming conventions for lead fields. Use the field-name convention required by each integration feature.

Retrieve the List of Field Names

Use the REST ‘Describe Lead’ endpoint to retrieve all supported field names for lead records.

Where to Use Which Field Name Type?

The required field-name type depends on the integration feature. The following table identifies whether each feature uses REST or SOAP field names.

Why does the REST API field sfdcId always return a value of null?

The sfdcId field is a formula field that was included in the original field map for the REST API. Records retrieved through the REST API do not compute formula field values, so sfdcId always returns null.

To retrieve the SFDC ID, use the sfdcLeadId and sfdcContactId fields.
