Introducing Object-Specific Actions

But wait! That’s not all. We can also create object-specific actions.

Like global actions, object-specific actions let users create records or log details about calls or other interactions. The key difference is that you can only add these actions to record detail pages, since they are automatically associated with a specific object.

When a user creates a record by using an object-specific create action, a feed item for that record appears:
  • In the feed for the record on which the new record was created
  • As the first entry in the feed for the new record
  • In the Chatter feed of the user who created the record
  • In the user profile feed for the user who created the record
  • In the Chatter feed of any users who follow the record on which the record was created
  • In the Chatter feed of any users who, through custom triggers or auto-follow rules for new records, automatically follow the new record
