Description
Salesforce Inspector Advanced is a comprehensive browser extension that equips Salesforce developers, administrators, and architects with a suite of productivity tools for inspecting, analyzing, and managing data and metadata directly within the Salesforce user interface. It enhances the native Salesforce experience by providing deep insights into objects, fields, flows, and overall org health, streamlining development and maintenance tasks.
Key Features
- Object & Field Inspector: Dive into object metadata to understand field usage, relationships, and dependencies. This is useful when planning schema changes, identifying unused fields, or documenting data models.
- Flow Analyzer: Perform comprehensive analysis of Salesforce Flows to detect performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and deviations from best practices. The analyzer offers actionable recommendations, making it an essential tool for flow optimization and governance.
- Org Analyzer: Scan the entire organization to identify unused resources, code quality issues, security vulnerabilities, and opportunities for migration or cleanup. This helps in maintaining a lean and efficient org.
- Advanced SOQL/SOSL Editor: Write queries with an intelligent editor featuring autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and inline suggestions for fields, objects, and relationships. This accelerates query development and reduces errors, especially for complex queries.
- Data Export: Export data with advanced filtering, sorting, and column management. Supports GraphQL for flexible data retrieval. Ideal for data analysis, reporting, or creating backups.
- Data Import: Bulk import data using the Bulk API, with support for hard delete and smart field mapping. This simplifies large-scale data migrations or updates.
- Inline Editing: Edit records directly in the data export view and perform bulk updates without leaving the page. This speeds up data correction tasks.
- Apex Runner: Execute anonymous Apex, batch jobs, and queueable classes with real-time log monitoring. This is invaluable for testing code snippets or running maintenance scripts.
- Log Viewer: Analyze debug logs with flame charts, profiler, and resource tracking (SOQL, DML, callouts). Also supports unit test execution with code coverage, aiding in debugging and code quality assessment.
- Code Editor: A full-featured editor for Apex with syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, and intelligent suggestions for classes and methods, improving coding efficiency.
- Metadata Browser: Explore and download metadata components with automatic package.xml generation, facilitating metadata retrieval and version control.
- Metadata Import: Streamline metadata deployment with relationship handling, simplifying the process of moving components between environments.
- API Explorer: Test Salesforce APIs including REST, Bulk API, Chatter, Reports, and more, with request templates, history, and formatted responses. Essential for API integration development.
- Platform Event Manager: Subscribe, monitor, and publish platform events, push topics, and change data capture events, enabling real-time event-driven development.
- AI-Powered Features: Leverage AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, or Agentforce to analyze flows and generate SOQL queries, providing intelligent assistance for complex tasks.
- Intelligent Suggestions: Context-aware autocomplete for fields, picklist values, and relationships, speeding up data entry and query building.
- Customizable Interface: Personalize the extension with custom favicon colors, editable shortcuts, and settings to fit your workflow.
- Quick Access Popup: Get fast access to common tasks, user management, and org navigation from a convenient popup.
- Modern UI: Enjoy a clean, responsive interface with keyboard shortcuts and intuitive navigation, enhancing productivity.
- OAuth 2.0 with PKCE: Secure authentication with support for external connected apps, ensuring safe access to your org.
- Security Analysis: Detect SOQL injection vulnerabilities, XSS risks, and access management issues, helping to harden your Salesforce environment.
Salesforce Inspector Advanced is perfect for developers who need to analyze and optimize flows, query and manipulate data efficiently, debug Apex with advanced log analysis, manage metadata and deployments, test APIs and integrations, and identify org health issues. Whether you are building new features, debugging issues, or maintaining your org, this extension provides the tools to work faster and smarter.
