I am working on a project to clean out old tasks and would like to be able to export all tasks including those which are archived and then upload a list of activity IDs for the ones which I would like to delete.

I would normally use Export All in Dataloader and then mass delete through Dataloader to do this. Unfortunately this is a Professional Edition of Salesforce which does not have API enabled.

What alternative tool could I use that does not require an API connection and is compatible with Salesforce Professional Edition for mass updating/deleting data like the Dataloader. I have heard the Excel Connector may be an option, but does this require API?

FYI I am a Mac user as well if this makes a difference

  • if its small amount of data then you can try dataloader.io

  • dataloader.io would need api access too

  • Its 100,000+ records. And I need something that can be used to delete records, add records, and update records. So I don't think data import wizard would cut it. I basically need dataloader without API access

Depending on just how many records you intend to do at once you can use the Data Import Wizard with practically any edition of Salesforce; limited to 50,000 records per run. It is compatible with Safari 5 or later.

  • This may be the only option since every other external tools would need api access
