Id not specified in an update call

Question

I'm updating an integration where I'm trying to update the contact table in Salesforce using Boomi. Below are my settings:

My XML profile looks like:

<Contact>
<AccountId>CONTACTSALESFORCEID</AccountId>
<LastName>LASTNAME</LastName>
<FirstName>FIRSTNAME</FirstName>
<Email>EMAILADDRESS</Email>
</Contact>

When I run the integration I get this error:

<statusCode>MISSING_ARGUMENT</statusCode>
<message>OBJ: Contact - Id not specified in an update call</message>

From what I see in https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000386242&type=1, this error appears when the file does not include a Salesforce record ID or the ID column was not properly mapped to the ID field. This doesn't seem to be my issue. What am I doing wrong?

Here is the map that is being uploaded. Only items that have a connecting line are being sent over.

Answer 1

<AccountId>CONTACTSALESFORCEID</AccountId> smells like you mapped to a wrong field.

All Contact Ids across all salesforce instances start with 003. Account Ids start with 001. Check your data and then I'd say either

<Id>CONTACTSALESFORCEID</Id>

or

<Contact>
    <Id>CONTACTSALESFORCEID</Id>
    <AccountId>Some other field that has 001...</AccountId>
    <LastName>LASTNAME</LastName>
    <FirstName>FIRSTNAME</FirstName>
    <Email>EMAILADDRESS</Email>
</Contact>
