Three Chrome extensions for Salesforce Marketing Cloud users and developers

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a powerful platform for managing your marketing campaigns and automating your marketing processes. However, if you're a Marketing Cloud user or a developer, you know that sometimes you need a little extra help to streamline your workflow and boost your productivity. That's where Chrome extensions come in! In this article, we'll discuss three essential Chrome extensions for Salesforce Marketing Cloud users and developers.

DESelect Search in Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Easily search for objects in SFMC: all Content Builder objects, data extensions, query activities, data filters, automations, ...
DESelect Search in SFMC - Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a free Chrome Extension that allows you to easily search for everything that’s traditionally hard to find in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

Why you need this if you’re a Salesforce Marketing Cloud user?
Imagine looking for a data extension the name of which you partially know, but can’t recall which folder you saved it in.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s search functionality is limited as it only scans one selected folder at a time. SFMC Quick Search does this for all folders at once, even if you only know part of the file name.

SFMC Companion

This Extension is designed to support navigation and discovery in Marketing Cloud by creating connections between objects.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Companion Tool.

This tool allows you to quickly navigate through your Marketing Cloud objects (such as Automations, Queries, Data Extensions and more) to find where they are saved, what activities are using them, and what other objects they interact with.

For example:
By clicking on a Data Extension - you can see what Queries target that Data Extension, and what Queries reference that Data Extensions in their code!
By clicking on a Query - you can see a list of all the Data Extensions referenced in the Query, and the details of the target data extension; as well as all of the Automations that are using that Query!
By clicking on an Automation - you can see all of the activities exactly as you would in Automation Studio, and you can navigate to each of those activities to see their details.

At any time, you can click on the Blue Link box to be taken directly to that activity in Marketing Cloud!

The built-in Search function allows you to search every object by name so you can quickly find what you are looking for.

Object reporting gives users the ability to export detailed inventories of objects in their Marketing Cloud instance.

This extension is limited by the Marketing Cloud user's roles and permissions. Users will only be able to load and navigate objects that they have permission to access in Marketing Cloud.

  • Code highlighting
  • Syntax error warning
  • Code auto-complete

These three Chrome extensions are essential for Salesforce Marketing Cloud users and developers who want to streamline their workflow and boost their productivity. Whether you need to navigate the platform quickly, manage processes, content, or view and edit data, there is a Chrome extension out there that can help you. So why not give these extensions a try and see how they can improve your workday?
