NotifyForFields Set to Select

When you set the value of PushTopic.NotifyForFields to Select, a change to any field value in the record, as long as that field is referenced in the query SELECT clause, causes the Streaming API matching logic to evaluate the record to determine whether to generate a notification.

If the PushTopic.NotifyForFields value is Select, the PushTopic query must have a SELECT clause with at least one field other than ID.

Event A notification is generated when
Record is created The record field values match the values specified in the WHERE clause.
Record is updated

The following conditions are met.

  • A change occurs in one or more record fields specified in the PushTopic query SELECT clause.
  • The record values of the fields specified in the WHERE clause all match the values in the PushTopic query WHERE clause.
