Benefits of a Custom Slash Command

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 14 views

Introduction

In Salesforce, the sysid is a unique identifier assigned to each record. It is a crucial piece of information that can be used for various purposes, such as debugging, troubleshooting, and data analysis. However, manually copying the sysid for the current record can be a time-consuming and tedious task. To make this process more efficient, we can create a custom slash command that copies the sysid to the clipboard.

Benefits of a Custom Slash Command

A custom slash command to copy the sysid for the current record offers several benefits, including:

Increased productivity: With a custom slash command, you can quickly copy the sysid without having to navigate to the record's details page or use other workarounds.
Improved accuracy: A custom slash command reduces the likelihood of human error, ensuring that you get the correct sysid for the current record.
Enhanced user experience: A custom slash command provides a seamless and intuitive way to access the sysid, making it easier for users to work with records in Salesforce.

Creating a Custom Slash Command

To create a custom slash command to copy the sysid for the current record, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Custom Button

Go to the Setup menu and navigate to Customize > User Interface > Buttons, Links, and Actions.
Click New Button or Link and select Custom Button.
Enter a name and label for the button, such as "Copy Sysid".
In the Behavior section, select Display and set the Display Type to Button.
Click Save to create the custom button.

Step 2: Add a JavaScript Function

Go to the Setup menu and navigate to Customize > User Interface > Buttons, Links, and Actions.
Click New Button or Link and select Custom Button.
Enter a name and label for the button, such as "Copy Sysid".
In the Behavior section, select Display and set the Display Type to Button.
In the JavaScript section, add the following code:

function copySysid() {
  var recordId = $A.get('e.recordId');
  var sysid = $A.get('e.sysid');
  var clipboard = $A.get('e.clipboard');
  clipboard.set('value', sysid);
  clipboard.set('type', 'text');
  clipboard.set('text', sysid);
  clipboard.set('title', 'Sysid');
