List leads

The Salesforce list leads action retrieves a list of Lead records from your connected Salesforce org. This is a read-only action that supports flexible filtering and sorting to help teams find the right prospects in CRM without modifying any Salesforce data.

Prerequisites

• Your Salesforce org must be connected as a data source in Glean, and an admin must enable the Salesforce action pack and complete Salesforce Actions Setup including OAuth configuration.

• Users must authenticate for Salesforce actions on first use.

• The authenticated Salesforce user must have permission to view Lead records based on your organization's sharing rules.

Supported parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Query	String	SOQL query to fetch leads. Use standard SOQL syntax to filter, sort, and limit results. Examples: "SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Company FROM Lead WHERE Status = 'New'" "SELECT Id, Name, Email, Company FROM Lead ORDER BY CreatedDate DESC LIMIT 10" "SELECT Id, Name, Rating FROM Lead WHERE Rating = 'Hot' AND Industry = 'Technology'"

Usage examples

• "List all open leads in the US West territory owned by me."

• "Show me new leads created in the last 30 days sorted by company."

• "Find all qualified leads with status 'Hot' ready for outreach."

Troubleshooting

• Possible cause: The Salesforce action pack is not added, not linked to your Salesforce data source, or not fully configured.
• Fix: In the Glean admin console, go to Platform → Actions, add or open the Salesforce action pack, link it to your Salesforce datasource, configure authentication, update publish settings, and save. After that, Salesforce actions should appear under Actions → By datasource → Salesforce.

• Possible cause: The user's connected Salesforce account is missing, inactive, or misconfigured, or the Salesforce connected app is not set up correctly.
• Fix: Ask the user to re-authenticate Salesforce when prompted by Glean. If errors persist, verify the Salesforce connected app configuration (callback URL and scopes) and confirm that Salesforce Actions setup is complete.

• Possible cause: The filter values are too narrow, do not match how data is stored in Salesforce, or the user does not have permission to view the relevant leads.
• Fix: Confirm the filter values are correct by checking a sample lead directly in Salesforce. Relax or adjust filters in the agent configuration. Verify that the user's Salesforce profile allows them to view Lead records in the target segment.

• Possible cause: The filter criteria are too broad or no limit is set on the number of results.
• Fix: Add more specific filter criteria to narrow down results. Use the Limit parameter to restrict the number of returned leads. Consider filtering by lead status, owner, or creation date.
