What is Operation Query? #
Query means querying data from salesforce from a client by using Soap UI or postman and when we use postman we use rest version and for soap, we use search service API. Querying data is using SOQL statement, We can write SOQL by entering into the outbound interface or using the query editor and this way we can generate SOQL statements in our outbound interface.
It gives the response as a JSON to the client if we call using Soap UI or by the postman, we can put different conditions or requests. But the main reason or requirement is query data.
We have 2 possibilities for query operation:- #
1. Query operation without mapping will give raw data as a result.
2. Query operation with mapping will give enhanced data as a result.
