Manage Salesforce faster with browser extensions

You want to manage your Salesforce environment quickly and efficiently. Yet when you manage one or more Salesforce environments, you notice that you have to click endlessly to retrieve certain data or to get to the desired page. Salesforce browser extensions are the solution that are going to save you time. The Chrome extensions increase your productivity and reduce manual work. These extensions allow you to retrieve data and metadata directly from your browser, saving you hundreds of clicks. We talk about our favorite Chrome extensions in this article.

One-click access to APIs 

You are managing an automation and for that you need API names, but to find them you have to open several pages first. Salesforce Show API Name is an extension that allows you to see field and object API names faster. With one click in your browser, you have visibility into API names, giving you a full view of your necessary data without having to open other pages. 

Easier navigation between Salesforce environments 

You work with different Salesforce environments, but each environment basically has the same blue Salesforce cloud in the browser, causing you to navigate to the wrong environment every time. With the "Salesforce Colored Flavicons" extension, you can give each environment its own color. This way, without checking the URL, you know if you are making changes to the right environment. 

Export of data without errors

When you transfer data from one Salesforce environment to another, you have to select all fields manually, which often causes errors. With the extension 'Salesforce Data/Metadata Utility, you can select all fields associated with a Salesforce object at once. This extension makes exporting data much less error-prone.

At once overview of the differences between environments 

Are you working with a test and production environment? Then you probably use "Salesforce Change Sets" to move your settings from one Salesforce environment to the other. But then it's quite difficult to see the differences between these environments. The 'Salesforce Change Set Helper' extension lets you compare environments. It gives you more information about the differences such as, the last changed date, user and API name for each item and also shows you differences between environments as shown in the image below. 

Easier data debugging and exploration

Salesforce Inspector is a Chrome extension that helps you debug and explore Salesforce environment. It helps you streamline your work by allowing you to view, search and edit Salesforce records directly from the browser. But it also provides access to Salesforce metadata to quickly explore and understand your environment. It also helps you identify and solve problems efficiently.

Why you should use Salesforce browser extensions

The browser extensions are going to save you hundreds of clicks and headaches. Allowing you to increase your productivity, have more time to set up your Salesforce environment even better and build stronger relationships with your end users.
