MacroInstruction

Represents an instruction in a macro. An instruction can specify the object that the macro interacts with, the context or publisher that the macro works within, the operation or action that the macro performs, and the target of the macro’s actions. It is a useful way to programmatically define instructions, instead of using the macro widget in the console.

Fields

Field Name	Details
MacroId	Type reference Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description ID of the macro that contains this instruction.
Name	Type string Properties Autonumber, Defaulted on create, Filter, Sort Description Name of the instruction.
Operation	Type picklist Properties Create, Filter, Group, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update Description The action that the macro instruction performs. Valid values are: Select Set Insert Submit Close
SortOrder	Type int Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort, Update Description Order of this instruction in the macro.
Target	Type picklist Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Restricted picklist, Sort, Update Description The object that’s the target of the operation. For example, the target for the active case tab (Tab.Case) or a quick action, like the Send Email action on the case object (QuickAction.Case.SendEmail). In Lightning Experience, macros are supported on standard and custom objects that allow quick actions and have a customizable page layout. In Salesforce Classic, macros are supported on objects with feed-based layouts and quick actions. You can specify relative dates and times for the following targets. DateTime Date Time DueDate Birthday
Value	Type string Properties Create, Filter, Nillable, Sort, Update Description Value of a field. If the operation is Select, then the value is null, because the operation selects the object on which the macro performs an action. An instruction can contain both a Value field and a ValueRecord field, but only one of these fields can have a value. The other field value must be null. To create relative dates and times, specify a valid Salesforce formula, prefaced by `MacroFormula`. For example, the following formula creates a date that is 1 day from now: `MacroFormula:NOW() + 1` You can’t edit custom relative formulas in the Macro Builder.
ValueRecord	Type string Properties Create, Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort, Update Description ID of the value or record. The ValueRecord can be either a value or a record, but not both. An instruction can contain both a Value field and a ValueRecord field, but only one of these fields can have a value. The other field value must be null.
