Magulan Duraipandian

We can insert Lead record using standard Salesforce REST API.

By doing a POST request to https://{Your Domain}.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v58.0/sobjects/Lead/, we can easily insert Salesforce Lead record with Session Id.

Check the following steps for reference.

1. Create a Connected App in Salesforce.

Callback URL should be https://{Your Domain}.my.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/callback

Example:

https://test-ec-dev-ed.develop.my.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/callback

2. Get the Access token.

Endpoint URL:

https://test-ec-dev-ed.develop.my.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token

3. Use the Access Token from Step 2 and make a POST Request to create the Lead record.

Endpoint URL:

https://test-ec-dev-ed.develop.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v58.0/sobjects/Lead/

Sample Body:

{
  "FirstName" : "Sample",
  "LastName" : "Example",
  "Company": "Test Company",
  "Email": "[email protected]"
}
