I have a Rails app from which I would like to convert a lead and merge it with an existing account. Does anyone have some sample code using Ruby? I have found C# and Java examples and understand the convert() method, but would love to see it done in Ruby.

Have you looked at the databasedotcom gem?– Daniel HoechstCommented Apr 11, 2014 at 18:49

The convertLead method is AFAIK only available in the (older) SOAP API. databasedotcom builds on the REST API.
As with any other language, you could start from the WSDL - here is a blog post on that Ruby and Salesforce Integration with SOAP.
Google produced these two hits:
- http://www.ruby-doc.org/gems/docs/d/DerGuteMoritz-rforce-0.4.2/ConvertLead.html) (https://rubygems.org/gems/DerGuteMoritz-rforce)
- https://github.com/BinaryMuse/rforce-wrapper/search?q=convertLead
which might (or might not) be better places to start from.
There is some sample code here https://github.com/BinaryMuse/rforce-wrapper but not for convert lead.

Basically i wanted to show a way of using Ruby with Salesforce, using gems that have the ability to do any query a user needs with restforce and with the authentication omniauth-salesforce. Commented Mar 3, 2015 at 1:54
