How do I update a Salesforce Opportunity?

Short answer: You can update opportunity in Salesforce by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Salesforce Update Opportunity action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

Does Update Opportunity support batch operations?

Run Update Opportunity inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Salesforce's rate limits.
