When your Salesforce connector imports only headers without data, it means the connector can access field definitions but lacks permission to read actual record values.

This happens because of field-level security restrictions, insufficient user permissions, or API query failures. Here’s how to get complete data imports every time.

Get complete data imports using Coefficient

Coefficient solves headers-only imports through comprehensive permission validation and intelligent query construction. Instead of silently failing, you get clear feedback about any access restrictions before import.

How to make it work

Step 1. Install Coefficient and connect to Salesforce.

Add Coefficient to Google Sheets from the workspace marketplace. Connect your Salesforce org with full MFA support and automatic permission validation.

Step 2. Choose your import method with permission preview.

Select from existing Salesforce reports (maintains original permissions), objects and fields (shows accessible fields only), or custom SOQL queries (with syntax validation). Coefficient only displays fields you can actually access.

Step 3. Validate permissions before import.

Coefficient checks both object-level and field-level permissions before executing the import. You’ll see exactly which fields are accessible and which are restricted, preventing header-only scenarios.

Step 4. Import with complete data sets.

Execute the import knowing you’ll get both headers and complete record data. If permission issues exist, Coefficient provides specific error messages identifying the restrictions rather than failing silently.

Stop guessing about permission issues

Coefficient eliminates the guesswork in troubleshooting headers-only imports by providing clear permission feedback and reliable data retrieval. Start importing complete Salesforce data sets today.
