Salesforce Bulk API

Problem

I’m trying to access the bulk API via an HTTP request; however, the response that I get is not what I would expect from the creation of a bulk job. I am using a predefined credential from the Salesforce OAuth2 API.

Here is my example URL:

https://MyDomain.sandbox.lightning.force.com/services/data/v64.0/jobs/ingest/

Here is my JSON body for my HTTP POST Request:

{
    "object" : "Product2",
    "externalIdFieldName" : "Macola_Product__c",
    "contentType" : "CSV",
    "operation" : "upsert",
    "lineEnding" : "LF"
}

I’m unsure if n8n has access to the bulk API. I believe the issue that I’m seeing could be due to limitations on the scopes available to Salesforce credentials (i.e. refresh_token, full).

I have reviewed other forum pages such as this one: Bulk API 2.0 Upsert and have enabled the client credentials flow along with an execution user but have been unable to get the correct response.

Other HTTP requests work fine along with other Salesforce nodes.

I tried pasting my workflow in here but it wasn’t formatting correctly.
