Chrome Extensions Salesforce IDs

The Salesforce ID is a unique identifier of the records which are located in the Salesforce organizations. These IDs exist in 15-character or 18-character formats and are stored in the id field of any Salesforce objects. The 15-character SFDC ID can be converted into an 18-character format. There are multiple google chrome extensions available which makes working with Salesforce ID much simpler.

Salesforce.com ID Clipper

With the help of this extension, the Salesforce ID can be clipped and can be pasted on the clipboard. So, if you are on a Salesforce.com record page, the URL will have the record ID. Now click on the scissors icon once, that will clip the Id to the clipboard. If you click again, it will show the 18 character version of the id. The icon will turn green when you successfully clip the Id and shows an 18 when the 18 character version is shown along with the 'Link'.

Salesforce Id CopyPasteGo

With the help of this extension, we can copy the current Salesforce record's ID to the clipboard, or we can also paste it into the record's. It is simple to use, you can navigate to Salesforce records by ID with the help of keyboard shortcuts and then open the right-click menu. The right-click menu will provide the following options:

• Copy list views with a single click
• Alt-C copies the current page's record ID
• Alt-Shift-C copies the current page's cleaned up URL
• Alt-V opens the record page for the ID on your clipboard (copied from any source)
• Alt-B opens the record page for the ID on your clipboard in a new tab
• Right-click on any Salesforce link to copy just the Salesforce ID from it.

All the keyboard shortcuts can be configured from Chrome's Extension Shortcuts page.

Salesforce Id Paster

With the help of this extension, we can redirect the current Salesforce page with the help of a keystroke to the particular page whose SFID is there in the clipboard. It works perfectly on the lightning platform. A perfect use case will be, when you're working with a chunk of exported Salesforce records in an Excel or text file, we might want to see the Salesforce record that corresponds to a particular SF ID that is there in the exported file.  Salesforce ID Paster makes this task easy by holding the copied value on the keyboard.

Salesforce.com ID Converter

The Salesforce UI displays 15 digit IDs for records, which are case sensitive. However, for the Windows machines, you will need to use a case-sensitive version of the ID for data migration and API calls. With the help of this extension, we can quickly generate an 18 digit Salesforce.com ID.
