docs(source-salesforce): fix changelog errors and clarify BULK API object list

[devin-ai-integration]

Documentation Confidence Assessment

Overall Confidence: 3/5

Dimension	Score	Rationale
Code Comprehension	2/5	Python CDK with complex multi-file logic, though the triggering change (spec.yaml OAuth config) is fully declarative.
API Documentation Quality	4/5	Salesforce has comprehensive official docs on OAuth, BULK API, and REST API with minor gaps in edge cases.
Change Scope & Risk	5/5	Under 10 lines changed: changelog date corrections, PR number fix, duplicate removal, wording clarification.
Existing Doc Maturity	5/5	Mature 434-line doc with comprehensive coverage of prerequisites, setup, streams, troubleshooting, and changelog.
Connector Sensitivity	1/5	Salesforce is a top-tier certified connector (ql=400, sl=300) — errors affect many users.
Triggering Context	5/5	Triggered from a small merged PR adding declarative OAuth config with a version bump.

What I Verified vs. What I Inferred

• Verified from git history: Changelog dates cross-referenced against merge commit timestamps using git log --format="%H %aI %s". PR source-salesforce: performance tuning #67509 corresponds to "performance tuning" (URL was correct but display text said chore: salesforce cdk 7 migration #66136). PR chore: salesforce cdk 7 migration #66136 is the CDK v7 migration, correctly referenced in v2.7.12.
• Verified from code: UNSUPPORTED_BULK_API_SALESFORCE_OBJECTS in api.py contains significantly more objects than what the docs listed.
• Inferred: Nothing material. All changes are factual corrections.

Areas of Concern

• The BULK API unsupported objects list remains incomplete relative to the code. I clarified the wording rather than expanding the list, since maintaining an exhaustive list in docs is fragile. Reviewer may prefer expanding the list instead.
• The v2.6.2 changelog entry has a pre-existing empty PR link ([](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/)) that I did not fix because I could not determine the correct PR number.

What

Fixes several factual errors in the Salesforce source connector documentation, triggered by review of commit c6eb0bb (PR #75579).

How

Changelog corrections:

• v2.7.19: Date corrected from 2026-03-30 to 2026-03-31 (verified against merge commit timestamp)
• v2.7.17: Date corrected from 2026-02-10 to 2026-02-11 (verified against merge commit timestamp)
• v2.7.16-rc.1: PR link text corrected from [66136] to [67509] — the URL already pointed to PR source-salesforce: performance tuning #67509 ("performance tuning"), but the display text incorrectly showed chore: salesforce cdk 7 migration #66136 (which is the CDK v7 migration, correctly referenced in v2.7.12)
• v2.6.5: Removed duplicate changelog row

BULK API object list:

• Clarified that the listed objects unsupported by the BULK API are not exhaustive. The source code (UNSUPPORTED_BULK_API_SALESFORCE_OBJECTS in api.py) contains significantly more objects than what was listed in the docs. Changed wording from "This includes the following objects" to "Commonly encountered examples include the following objects, but this is not an exhaustive list" to avoid misleading users.

Review guide

1. docs/integrations/sources/salesforce.md — all changes are in this single file

Key items to verify:

• Are the corrected changelog dates accurate? (Verified via git log --format="%H %aI %s" for each PR's merge commit.)
• Is the BULK API list wording change appropriate, or would you prefer the list be updated to match the full code list instead?

User Impact

Users reading the Salesforce connector docs will see correct release dates, correct PR links, no duplicate entries, and an accurate description of the BULK API object list scope. No functional changes.

Can this PR be safely reverted and rolled back?

• YES 💚

Note: I am an AI assistant (Devin) and have proposed these documentation updates based on a review of the connector source code and third-party API documentation. Reviewers may merge, modify, or close this PR as they see fit.

Phase 2 note: Docusaurus build verification was skipped because the environment has Node v22.12.0, which does not satisfy the engines.node constraint >=20 <22 in docusaurus/package.json. The changes are limited to a single markdown file with changelog corrections and minor wording adjustments, so broken links or build errors from these changes are unlikely.
