  1. Monitoring enhancement: compare permissions across users

    It would be cool if the Gearset Permissions Explorer would help you in determining how to collapse Profiles into fewer numbers. The model would be https://perm-comparator.herokuapp.com/

    A typical org has proliferated Profiles over the years, many only slightly different from one another. As SFDC wants us to move to Permission Sets, job one is to collapse the profiles into as few as possible - this requires comparing user permissions against each other (you can't just compare profiles, you need to know what additional permissions some users have vs others too)

    Since SFDC is finally making dynamic Lightning pages GA (for…

  2. Send different deployment notifications based on the target org type

    Successful deployment notification is for all sandboxes. It would be nice if we can have a separate notification for production and sandboxes as certain people only care what goes to production. Thank you!

  3. Avoid spurious differences in LeadConvert

    SFDC seems to retrieve the lead convert settings in non-deterministic order between orgs . Display only true changes/adds/deletes rather than differences in ordering of the mappings as they make no difference to the runtime execution of Lead Conversion

  4. Detailed monitor reports to inbox

    Opening the Monitor reports in Gearset is very time consuming. I would like a daily report to arrive in my inbox with the Changed, New or Deleted object names, Data Changed and Who.

  5. Allow invited people to replicate data and metadata from Backup job

    Allow the ability to replicate data and metadata for persons with full permissions to a backup job even if they did not create the backup job

    With several administrators for a Salesforce organization, the objective with a backup is that in case of an emergency or error it can be fixed within a short period of time to avoid downtime. The backup job allows us to have a copy of our data, but it would also be great if we could have a copy of the person who is responsible for the backup. With just one person being able to…

  6. Ability to trigger different CI jobs or changing the targets based on the user who did the commit in source control

    Related to CI jobs can you set up multiple jobs to trigger based on which user did the commit to source control? The goal would be having the deployment / last modified dates in SF reflect which user did the commit in source control and triggered the CI job.

    I don't think that's possible as I don't see any kind of filter or way to manage which CI job should fire when source control is updated so the audit history in SF will only reflect one specific user doing the deployments and people would need to review the details in…

  7. Github: Ability to select Reviewers for pull requests created in Gearset

    Currently, you can create a PR after a successful deployment in Gearset. You're able to provide a description and even select it as a draft.

    However, the only potentially necessary field that's missing is "reviewers". This means any CI/CD setup you have that requires an approval requires the user to go into Github just to add the reviewer.

    Since Gearset would have all the team members (and those with linked github accounts), it seems it might be an opportunity to select based on that list and pass the linked username on to github in the PR creation to keep end…

  9. Add Component's Label and API Name to Export CSV results

    Please include columns for the components Label and API Name along with the Item Type and Display Name when exporting to CSV.

    Use Case - We use the Export results as a formal Deployment Log that we sharing with a Client's project team. In that log, we include the component's Label, API Name, and metadata Type. Most recipients of this Deployment Log are unfamiliar with the API Name which may not even closely match what the Label is. Having both in this Log would greatly enhance this understanding.

    Thanks in advance!

  10. Don't auto-select all tests when choosing "Select which tests to run"

    When selecting "Select which tests to run" Gearset shows the tests included in the comparison first, but the moment all other tests are loaded, everything is selected.

    When choosing this option, the tests included in the comparison should stay on top and selected, and the rest of the test should be added alphabetically but UNSELECTED.

    If I'm choosing this option, I probably only want to run some tests. I think it would be much easier this way. Usually you need to run the tests included in the comparison and maybe one or two more.

  11. Use package xml to populate metadata filter

    I suggest to add the ability to upload the package.xml manifest files to populate the metadata filter before the comparison step of an org to git or org to org deployment.

    A lot of Salesforce developers use package.xml files locally to deploy some parts of the functionality in order to speed up the deployment process.
    Currently, Gearset allows you to select the components via Custom Filters, but it is slow to select about 20 components manually. Uploading the package manifest from the local machine can speed up the process very much,

  12. Enable Dependency Cleaner only jobs on Git repos

    Similar to Unit Test jobs for connected Salesforce orgs, it would be great to have independent Dependency Cleaner jobs for our source repos to help identify problems separate from any particular commit.

    In our flow, not every commit goes through Gearset, so it's possible that our repo could become "undeployable" as a result of these non-Gearset commits. If this occurs, it then comes confusing on the next Gearset commit since the Dependency Cleaner will add all the deletions it deems required which don't relate at all to the PR being reviewed.

    A the end of the day, we'd like our…

  13. Make CI-created scratch orgs more usable by downstream webhooks

    If a CI job creates a scratch org ; and you configure an outgoing webhook in the CI configuration, the subscribers to that webhook have no way of being able to connect/authenticate to that scratch org.

    The typical use case would be to run automated UX testing (Provar, Selenium)

    At present, even the CI job creator can't log into the CI-created scratch org let alone any CI webhook

    In addition to supporting this, there should be doc on how a downstream webhook can access the scratch org to then do useful work.

  18. mark destructive only changes as a separate difference

    due to deployment limitations with salesforce destructive changes destructive changes dont necessarily reflect branch to org so these deltas are being marked as differences even though there is no way to fix other than manually in the org. these should be marked as a separate difference type for easier filtering.

  20. Be able to log into scratch org from Deployment Success page

    It would be super convenient to log into the scratch org directly from the Deployment success page

    • From Compare & Deploy sequence
    • From CI success
