StandardObjectNameFeed

StandardObjectNameFeed is the model for all feed objects associated with standard objects. These objects represent the posts and feed-tracked changes of a standard object.

The object name is variable and uses StandardObjectNameFeed syntax. For example, AccountFeed represents the posts and feed-tracked changes on an account record. For specific version information, see the documentation for the standard object.

Supported Calls

delete(), describeSObjects(), getDeleted(), getUpdated(), query(), retrieve()

Special Access Rules

In the internal org, users can delete all feed items they created. This rule varies in Experience Cloud sites where threaded discussions and delete-blocking are enabled. Site members can delete all feed items they created, provided the feed items don’t have content nested under them—like a comment, answer, or reply. Where the feed item has nested content, only feed moderators and users with the following permissions can delete threads:

Modify All Data
Modify All Records on the parent object, like Account for AccountFeed
Moderate Chatter

Users with the Moderate Chatter permission can delete only the feed items and comments they can see. Only users with this permission can delete items in unlisted groups.

Description: Indicates whether the feed item Body contains rich text. If you post a rich text feed comment using SOAP API, set IsRichText to true and escape HTML entities from the body. Otherwise, the post is rendered as plain text.

Rich text supports the following HTML tags:


<a>

<code>


<s>
<ul>
<ol>
<li>
<img>

Though the   tag isn’t supported, you can use   to create lines.

The <img> tag is accessible only through the API and must reference files in Salesforce similar to this example: <img src="sfdc://069B0000000omjh"></img>

In API version 35.0 and later, the system replaces special characters in rich text with escaped HTML. In API version 34.0 and prior, all rich text appears as a plain-text representation.

Usage

A feed for an object is automatically created when a user enables feed tracking for the object. Use feeds to track changes to records. For example, AccountFeed tracks changes to an account record. Use feed objects to retrieve the content of feed fields, such as type of feed or feed ID.

Note the following SOQL restrictions. No SOQL limit if logged-in user has the View All Data permission. If not, specify a LIMIT clause of 1,000 records or fewer. SOQL ORDER BY on fields using relationships is not available. Use ORDER BY on fields on the root object in the SOQL query.
