It’s nearly impossible to work efficiently if you don’t focus on productivity. And one of the best ways to increase productivity is with high-quality google extensions.
I should know. I’ve spent the last 4 years tinkering with ones that were both pointless and life-changing.
So here are my 5 favorite tools to simplify your work life.
Let’s get it ↓
“Work smarter, not harder” makes me think of this tool.
This tool turns your formulas into a visual code studio, making it 10X easier to get your formula right on the first attempt.
Why I use it:
Auto-formatting
Counts parentheses
Color codes functions
It’s great for juniors who are learning and seasoned admins who want some better visualization. This one has been in my tool belt for 3 years now.
Price: $20 / year (and 100% worth it)
With 300,000 downloads, this one should be a staple in your lineup.
Inspector sits as a tab on your screen that will give you quick access to metadata directly from the Salesforce user interface.
Why I use it:
Verify record types
Run SOQL queries
View all record data (even if it’s not on my page layout)
Price: $0.00
Never make an accidental change in production again.
It’s the middle of the day and you have 30+ tabs on your screen. Instead of guessing which one are production or sandboxes, this color codes them.
How I use it:
Production = Green
Fullcopy = Yellow
Sandbox = Red
No guess to be made. Quickly look at the color of the tab and you’ll know what environment you are in. Simple but very effective.
Price: $0.00
Build more, talk less.
I love this extension because it allows me to record my screen and then like magic turns my steps taken into a step-by-step tutorial for me to share.
How it works:
Interact (browse, click, type) on a website
iorad identifies every action you take
Then creates a step-by-step tutorial for you
If you find yourself doing a lot of documentation throughout your day, this will cut countless hours out of your work day.
Price: $0.00
Do almost everything I just mentioned with this one tool. Tools it can replace:
Colored favicons
Salesforce inspector
Enhanced formula editor
So, why did I share the others?
Although it can do everything I don’t find the features as powerful as the stand alone tools I mentioned above BUT a great “all in one” option.
To fully maximize the tool, check their guide.
Price: $0.00
