Posting a strong idea on IdeaExchange takes a few minutes and gives Salesforce product managers something concrete to act on. Sign in with your Trailblazer ID first, then search before you post.

  1. Search for the idea first

    Use Idea Search with a few keywords to check whether your request already exists. If you find a match, upvote it and add a comment instead of posting a duplicate. Concentrated votes carry more weight than scattered ones.

  2. Choose Post and set a clear title

    Select Post, then write a title that is short, specific, and understandable on its own. Pick the product category that matches the idea so it routes to the right product team.

  3. Write a description with a real use case

    Cover the situation, the purpose and impact, and at least one concrete use case with a suggested solution. Attach an image if it helps, and remove any sensitive data before uploading.

  4. Promote and track the idea

    Share the idea in user groups and on social channels to gather votes. Opt in to notifications so you see when a product manager updates the status, and reply when they comment to keep the thread active.

Titlerequired

A short, descriptive headline that explains the request at a glance.

Categoryrequired

The Salesforce product area (for example Sales Cloud or Flow) that routes the idea to the right product team.

Descriptionrequired

The situation, the purpose and impact, and at least one concrete use case with a suggested solution.

Gotchas
  • You must be signed in with a Trailblazer ID to post, vote, or comment; browsing is open to everyone.
  • On Roadmap means delivery is expected within three releases, but Safe Harbor applies, so never bet a project timeline on it.
  • Duplicate ideas often get the Archived status of Merged, which splits the vote history; search first to avoid it.
