Hi, what does this mean when creating a waterfall?
The "Missing attribute path" error means your Salesforce action needs proper field mapping configuration. When creating records in Salesforce, you must map fields from your Clay table to corresponding Salesforce object fields. [1]
To fix this, ensure field types (text, number, date) in Clay match those in your CRM and verify the field has read access and API permissions enabled in Salesforce. [2]
Click into the specific Salesforce action cell to see more detailed error information about which attribute path is missing.

It's to lookup records with SOQL
For SOQL lookups, the "Missing attribute path" error means you need to enter your SOQL query in the SOQL Query input field. [1]
Click into the specific Salesforce action cell to see more detailed error information about what's missing. You'll need to provide a complete SOQL query like SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Name = 'Sandy' to retrieve records.

I provided the SOQL but it still shows the error
Even with a SOQL query provided, the "Missing attribute path" error typically indicates permission issues. Your Salesforce user needs View access to objects and fields in your query, API Enabled permission, and proper field-level security settings. [1]
Click into the specific Salesforce action cell to see more detailed error information about what's missing. Test your query in Salesforce's Developer Console (Setup → Developer Console → Query Editor) to isolate whether the issue is with the query or our connection.
Also verify field names are correct (case-sensitive) and custom fields include the __c suffix.

Ith as the access, without a waterfall the SOQL lookup works
Since your SOQL works outside the waterfall but shows "Missing attribute path" within it, this suggests a waterfall-specific configuration issue. In waterfalls, you can reorder, add, or delete providers and skip steps using toggle switches. [1]
Click into the specific Salesforce action cell to see more detailed error information about what's missing. The waterfall may need the SOQL query reconfigured in its sequence settings, or there could be an input mapping issue specific to how the waterfall processes the action. [2]
