That’s it. No Java, no Data Loader, no pain.

Quick Start

CLI (perfect for scripts & CI/CD)

# Delete Accounts (only Id column needed)
sfbatch run -f ./delete-accounts.csv -o prod -s Account -m delete

# Upsert Contacts using Email as external ID
sfbatch run -f contacts.csv -o my-dev -s Contact -m upsert -e Email

# Insert Leads
sfbatch run -f leads.csv -o sandbox -s Lead -m insert

Web UI

sfbatch ui
# → opens http://localhost:3789 automatically

Error: Port alredy in use

❌ Error: Port 3789 is already in use!

  Find and kill the process using port 3789:
     lsof -ti:3789 | xargs kill -9
     # or on Windows:
     netstat -ano | findstr :3789

Upload CSV → pick operation → watch live progress → download failed records → done.
