  1. Add Webhook Error Logging and History for Outgoing Webhooks

    When configuring outgoing webhooks (e.g., to GitHub Actions or Slack), errors and failures are not surfaced to the user, making troubleshooting difficult and time-consuming. Currently, after a webhook is triggered (or fails to trigger), there is very limited visibility into what payload was sent, what response was received, or whether an error occurred. If a webhook fails silently or returns an error, I have no way to view detailed logs or the history of webhook attempts. Furthermore, error messages (if any) seem to clear out whenever CI job settings are saved, and there is no persistent record of webhook activity.…

  2. Change the test running options in pipelines

    The options for tests in CI jobs/pipelines don't seem to offer quite what I need for sandbox deployments. Specifically, I want to be able to run all the tests when class/flow/trigger metadata is changing but no tests when tests metadata do not change.

    This is possible to do when deploying to production orgs by using the "Salesforce default tests" option (see https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/1376067-setting-apex-test-levels). But it is not possible in sandboxes.

    In sandboxes, the "Salesforce default tests" option runs no tests at all which I don't want. I also don't want to run "All your tests" because if merging a branch…

  3. Add ability to validate commit messages for deployments

    We require commit messages for deployments, but we actually need to go beyond this and validate the commit message format, checking for things like tagging ticket numbers in commit messages, formatting, etc.

    If the commit message validation fails, deployment should not be allowed.

    Some source control providers (e.g. GitHub) allow server-side pre-receive Git hooks which can perform such commit message validation; however, Bitbucket Cloud does not currently support this and it is unrealistic for us to switch source control at this point in time. Without this feature in Gearset we are unable to enforce formatting requirements on commit messages coming…

  4. focus

    When viewing a Comparisons results and click the filter icon in the column header to filter that column, it would be nice for the focus to be automatically placed on the filter text so it can be typed directly (without having to click on the filter text field).

  5. checkbox

    When viewing Open Pull Requests in an environment in a pipeline, the user can click the checkbox beside the pull request thinking they have selected that pull request. Clicking the checkbox does not currently select that Pull Request in the UI. It would be nice if clicking the checkbox would also select the current Pull Request in case another function such as "Close pull request" (trashcan icon on right pane) is being selected.

    It is easy to think you have selected the pull request when clicking the checkbox for it and in turn close the wrong pull request as a…

  6. Allow for Simplify Differences to be performed on metadata type before showing it as "different"

    Currently, Gearset performs a "Simplify Differences" on Clean data service and
    Connected app before reporting these metadata types as "Changed" in the comparison results.

    There are other metadata types, such as "Custom field" that sometimes show up as "Changed" in comparisons because the internal order of some of the tags are different in a sandbox vs production. Re-deploying these files from one environment to the other does not "fix" these differences. Gearset provides a "Simplify Differences" toggle in the UI that shows there is no effective difference with the file.

    It would be nice to provide a configuration toggle for…

    I would like to suggest a feature for Gearset that provides a more granular control over user permissions. Specifically, it would be beneficial to have the option to allow a user to commit changes to a branch but block their ability to create a pull request (PR). This would allow our team to review the commits before a PR is opened, providing a more effective way to manage and correct any potential issues before they impact the main repository. This is an improvement that would significantly streamline our workflow and reduce the risk of errors.

  8. Download multiple objects at once from a backup run

    Given the related nature of many objects within a Salesforce Org. It would be helpful to be able to filter on and select records from multiple objects in a single data download.

  9. API to Manage CI Jobs

    I would like an API to manage CI Jobs and Sandbox connections.

    In our current workflow, we create new sandboxes and branches for large initiatives. Along with these, we need to connect the SB in Gearset, build the CI job, run it for the first time, and then tear it down when we're done.

    We would like to be able to automate some of this.

    1. I have a branch and a sandbox
    2. I want to connect that sandbox in Gearset (would be great to do this programatically via api)
    3. create a CI job via api
    4. be able to run the…

  11. Add a link to open the deployment when a change is being promoted

    The pipeline view only shows that a deployment is "running" after promoting a change. It would be useful to have a link to the deployment job and be able to view the deployment status in gearset.

    Support mobile devices.

    The CSS Used for the Pipeline Environment popover prevents the browser from scrolling horizontally. You can try this be logging into Gearset on your phone's browser or by narrowing the browser width on your desktop.

    2. I want to monitor PRs from my phone.
    3. I want to browse my Scheduled Jobs and Monitoring Jobs.

  14. Add a notes field to environment variables to contain the scenarios it's addressing.

    For example, the RegEx allows finding of many different patterns that can all be handled by a single regular expression. Down the road it's less obvious which situations the regex was intended for. Having a simple notes field could be quite helpful.

  15. Restore feature branch when a mid-flight promotion branch is restored

    Have just experienced a scenario where closing a PR that is mid-flight in the pipeline caused the promotion branch and underlying feature branch to be deleted. So far, so good in terms of expected behaviour due to my pipeline settings. However, after restoring the promotion branch in order to reopen the PR and promote it in the pipeline, the next environment on the pipeline did not then show the change. This, I believe, was because restoring the promotion branch DID NOT restore the feature branch. Therefore there was no source to create a new promotion branch from in order to…

  16. Create a mass back propagation button

    Its very time consuming to have to back propagate one by one to each org. Please create a mass back propagation button.

    Also when back propagating where more than one connection to an org exists for instance our techdebt org has several admin connections and I have to hit update on all of them. Make the back propagation smart enough to know that it only needs one update rather than on each connection to the same org

  18. Grouping more than five sandboxes should not hide them

    When grouping sandboxes, having more than 5 in a single group adds a scrollbar, and hides any additional sandboxes added to the group. This decreases visibility into sandbox status. I missed that there were several sandboxes that were very out of date simply because I couldn't see them on the pipeline. All sandboxes on the pipeline should be visible for visibility.

    Please update your "Configure and deploy" option to allow the user to limit the records that will be masked in an object. We only want to mask our homeowner records in Account and Contact. We do not want to mask our dealer records. If we could limit the records that are being masked by using record types, this would enable us to use your solution. Thanks!
