Type Validation

Information about how type matching is validated.

Type validation checks if the data type of the target field of Salesforce is compatible or same as the type of the source attribute in Reltio. Data synchronization happens only if the data types are compatible.

If the Salesforce and Reltio types are different or not compatible, then an error Wrong mapping {reltio_attribute_name}({reltio_type}) to {salesforce_field_name}({salesforce_type}). Types mismatch is displayed.

The following table shows if an error is returned or not for a specific Reltio and Salesforce type combination:
