# Replace Null Values

By default, when updating existing Salesforce records, where the data is populated in Salesforce e.g. email, and the source data has a blank value, Salesforce will simply ignore the update. By selecting this option, the Blank values will be accepted by Salesforce, and the field data will be deleted.
