LongSFID<\/h2>\n

Sales and Service Cloud objects use a case-sensitive 15-digit character as a record identifier. Marketing Cloud Subscriber and Contact records require a case-insensitive identifier. This function converts 15-digit identifiers into 18-digit case-insensitive identifiers.<\/p>\n

Argument<\/h3>\n

LongSFID(1)<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Ordinal<\/th>\nType<\/th>\nRequired<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1<\/td>\nString<\/td>\nTrue<\/td>\n15-character Salesforce record identifier<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

NOTE: Marketing Cloud will not allow the import of a 15-digit Salesforce identifier into a Data Extension. The import will return a CaseSensitiveSalesforceID<\/code> validation error. Fifteen-digit Salesforce identifiers must be converted into 18-digits before they can be stored in a Data Extension field.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Example<\/h3>\n

The following code converts a Salesforce 15-digit identifier from a landing page URL query string into an 18-digit identifier and it retrieves the corresponding First Name<\/code> field from a Data Extension with a matching identifier.<\/p>\n

%%[\n\nvar @shortSFID, @longSFID, @firstName\n\nset @shortSFID = QueryParameter(\"id\")\nset @longSFID = LongSFID(@shortSFID)\nset @firstName = Lookup(\"Prospects\", \"First Name\", \"Id\", @longSFID)\n\n]%%\n<p>Hello %%=v(@firstName)=%%<\/p><\/code><\/pre>\n
Output<\/h4>\n
For an id<\/code> value of 00Q6F00001APnym<\/code>, the LongSFID function will return 00Q6F00001APnymUAD<\/code> and display the matching First Name<\/code> value in the Data Extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
