This article contains a detailed list of all the custom Salesforce objects and their fields. This documentation is designed to be shared with your Salesforce developers or anyone needing detailed information about Skilljar's Salesforce integration.
| For a full list of objects and fields, download this Excel file, or please reach out to our Customer Success team for more information. |
Please note that not all text fields in Skilljar currently allow for that many characters, but that moving forward all text fields in Salesforce will allow for the max 255 characters.
Your Salesforce admin can also install the Salesforce Example Reports Managed Package which will create some example reports and custom report types to begin interacting with Skilljar data.
Note: We are currently updating our Salesforce help center articles. You can find more objects and fields in this Excel file. Please reach out to our Customer Success team for more information.
Common Fields
| For a full list of objects and fields, download this Excel file, or please reach out to our Customer Success team for more information. |
There are a few fields that are common to many of the Skilljar objects and have special usage.
skilljar__Obfuscated_Id__c
This field represents the Skilljar ID of the object instance within the Skilljar platform. This ID is consistent across our API, the Salesforce App, and our BI connector.
skilljar__Contact__c
The Contact field is an optional lookup from our Skilljar objects to a Salesforce Contact. If you’ve checked the “Link contacts” checkbox in Skilljar, then when one of these objects is updated, we look for a corresponding Contact object with the same email address as the associated skilljar__Student__c object. If we find a Contact (or more than one) - we link to the most recently created Contact object. If we do not find a Contact with the same email address, we create a new Contact record and link to that.
Most times, these newly created “orphaned contacts” will need to be associated with an Account. Skilljar does not attempt to do this - as it often requires human intervention, or business-specific logic to map accordingly. Most customers of ours write a custom Apex Trigger or have created a process to manually assign orphaned contacts on a periodic basis.
Custom Objects
Here is a list of some of the custom objects in the Skilljar Salesforce app. For the full list, please download this Excel file, or reach out to our Customer Success team for more information.

Appendix A: Example Payment Processor Purchase Data
Each payment gateway that Skilljar integrates with returns a different set of fields related to the transaction. Skilljar places the payment processor data in a JSON dictionary and includes this data in the skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c field of the skilljar__Purchase__c object.
Accessing Payment Processor Data via Apex Code (Example)
In Salesforce Apex code, JSON can be easily parsed by the JSONParser class. The following example shows how to retrieve a value (in this case, the transaction_id) from th the skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c field:
skilljar__Purchase__c purchase = [SELECT skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c FROM skilljar__Purchase__c WHERE skilljar__Obfuscated_Id__c = 'abcd12345'];
String responseData = purchase.skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c;
Map<String, Object> data = (Map<String, Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(responseData);
String transactionId = (String)data.get('transaction_id');
Apex Trigger to add Transaction ID to Purchase (Example)
You may extend the Skilljar custom objects with your own fields. Building on the previous section, if you added a custom “Transaction ID” field (Transaction_Id__c) to the skilljar__Purchase__c object, you could write an Apex Trigger to automatically set the new field value after a skilljar__Purchase__c was updated:
trigger addTransactionId on skilljar__Purchase__c (after insert, after update) {
List<skilljar__Purchase__c> p = [SELECT Id, Transaction_Id__c, skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c FROM skilljar__Purchase__c WHERE Id IN: Trigger.newMap.keySet()];
for (skilljar__Purchase__c purchase: p) {
if (purchase.Transaction_Id__c == Null && purchase.skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c != Null){
String responseData = purchase.skilljar__Payment_Processor_Purchase_Data__c;
Map<String, Object> data = (Map<String, Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(responseData);
if (data.containsKey('transaction_id')) {
String transactionId = (String)data.get('transaction_id');
purchase.Transaction_Id__c = transactionId;
update purchase;
}
}
}
}
