Add the Action to the Global Publisher Layout

When we created the canvas app, we opted to automatically create the action. In this step, we’ll add the action to the global publisher layout so it shows up in the publisher in the Salesforce1 app.
  1. In the Salesforce application, from Setup, click Customize | Chatter | Publisher Layouts.
  2. Click Edit next to the Global Layout. This is the default layout for the publisher.
  3. Drag the Shipify element into the Publisher Actions section so that it appears as the first element on the left. Our warehouse workers are going to use this custom action a lot, so we're putting it at the start of the list so it'll be one of the first actions they see when they open the publisher.

    The canvas custom action was created automatically, so it used the name of the canvas app for the name of the action (in this case, Shipify). In a production scenario, you’ll want to change the action name to represent what the user can do. For example, we could change the name of this action to Ship Orders.

  4. Click Save.

Now that we’ve created the custom action and added it to the publisher layout, we’re ready to see it in action (no pun intended).
