The Salesforce Blob Lookup step allows you to reference the context of a file that is stored in a blob on Salesforce.

In order to use this step, you **must** have a Salesforce account and files/data in a blob on Salesforce.

To create a connection to Salesforce in this step, click on the plus icon that is next to the word “Connection” that is highlighted below.

In the **Salesforce**  **Object** field, you type the object name that you want to reference from Salesforce.  
In the **Blob**  **Field** , you put the name of the blob that is in Salesforce.  
In the **ID**  **Path** field, you type the name of the file/data that is stored in the blob that you to reference.  
For the **Map**  **Path** field, you can specify which field that is on the record that you want to save the blob data to. If you leave it blank, the record will be replaced with the name of the blob data.
