Suggestion for Filter option

To your specific question, if I understand you correctly, the plugin does allow for Accounts (and other objects in Salesforce that have a RecordType field) to only sync records that have the desired type. Here’s a screenshot of how that works.

To be more general, you can certainly prevent a push or pull based on a field’s value using a developer hook, but I don’t think doing it visually is likely to be a feature in the plugin quickly, as you say.

We have some degree of documentation about all of the developer hooks – though to be clear, we don’t provide support for using them – at https://github.com/MinnPost/object-sync-for-salesforce/blob/master/docs/all-developer-hooks.md.

But if you’re trying to skip Salesforce records based on a certain field that is not the built-in RecordType field, you might be able to do it like this.

add_filter( 'object_sync_for_salesforce_pull_object_allowed', 'check_account', 10, 5 );
function check_account( $pull_allowed, $object_type, $object, $sf_sync_trigger, $mapping ) {
	if ( $object_type === 'Account' && $object['field_to_check'] === 'abcdef' ) {
		$pull_allowed = false;
	}
	return $pull_allowed;
}

Thank you. This will work just fine.

Questions though. Does $object_type and $object take the api name or the visual name?

The plugin only stores API names for objects and fields.

I’m going to close this topic for now since code will achieve what you need, although I’ve added your suggestion to GitHub. Certainly I don’t have any estimation for when or if that might happen in the plugin (it won’t be soon) but it’s definitely worth consideration.
