Open any Salesforce record by its ID.

Salesforce IDs end up everywhere sales and operations work: in exported reports, in alerts from other tools, in a spreadsheet of renewals, in a message from Revenue Ops. To open one, most people go to Salesforce, search by the account's name and hope they pick the right one of three. A Wyrd keyword opens the exact record from its ID instead.

Short answer. Save your Salesforce address for accounts (step 2 below makes it for you) under the keyword sf. Then type > sf 0015g00000XyZ12 in the address bar and press Enter. Or select an ID on any page, right-click it and choose Wyrd search.

See it work

Two ways in: type the ID, or right-click it where you found it. Try both.

Set it up

Two minutes, once. Nothing technical: you copy one address and give it a short name. Keywords and right-click search work from the moment Wyrd is installed, with no account.

1. Add Wyrd from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Open any account in Salesforce, copy the address from the top of the window and paste it below. (Or type your company's Salesforce name, the first part of that address.) The addresses on this page change to yours.

   Your keyword's address: https://yourcompany.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/Account/%s/view

   New in 1.2Add to Wyrd does steps 2 and 3 for you: Wyrd's Add box opens with the keyword and your address filled in. Check them and press Add; nothing is saved until you do.

3. Click Wyrd's icon in Chrome's toolbar. Paste the address into Address, type sf in Keyword and click Save.
4. In the address bar, type >, press Space, then sf and an account ID of your own, and press Enter.

Whatever you type after sf goes where the address says %s. Typed on its own, > sf opens Salesforce.

Where to find an ID

Every record's ID is in its address, after the record type: …/lightning/r/Account/0015g00000XyZ12/view. In a report, add the Account ID (or Opportunity ID) column, and exports and alerts from connected tools usually carry it too. An ID is 15 or 18 letters and numbers, and its first three tell you what it is: 001 an account, 003 a contact, 006 an opportunity.

Right-click an ID where you read it

In a report, a spreadsheet, an email or a chat open in Chrome, double-click the ID to select it, right-click, choose Wyrd search: "…" and then sf. The record opens in a new tab next to the one you are reading.

• The menu lists your three most-used search keywords, so sf joins it once you use it more than the others.
• To keep it there from day one, under names like Salesforce account and Salesforce opportunity: open Wyrd's Features page (Settings → Features), switch on Your right-click searches and pick them, up to 12. It needs no permission.
• It works on web pages in Chrome, such as Google Sheets or Slack in a tab. Desktop apps outside Chrome have their own menus.

More Salesforce keywords

These open records by their ID. To find a record by its name, use Salesforce's own search. A keyword is yours to name: if your team says "the account", call it account.

Give the whole sales team the same keywords

Rather than every rep setting it up, one person (often Sales Ops) keeps the team's keywords in a Google Sheet and everyone subscribes once in Wyrd. Add the links reps ask for all the time: the pricing sheet, the discount approval form, the contract template, the forecast report. A new rep has them all on their first day, and when a link changes, it changes once.

Each person's own keywords always win over the list's, so nobody loses theirs. Free for teams of up to 30 people; larger teams, see pricing. How: share links with your team.

If it does not work

• Salesforce's home page opens instead of the record. The address is missing %s. Copy it again from step 2.
• Salesforce asks you to log in. Log in once in Chrome, then try again. Wyrd only opens the address; it cannot see past the login.
• "Record not found", or the wrong kind of record. An opportunity ID will not open with the account keyword: check the ID's first three characters (above), or use sfid, which takes any type.
• Google searches for "sf 0015g…". The > and the space were missing, or Wyrd is switched off in chrome://extensions.
• The right-click menu has no sf. It is not among your three most-used searches yet: switch on Your right-click searches (above).
• "This site can't be reached" or "Server Not Found" at wyrd.internal. That address only works inside Wyrd: Wyrd is not installed in this browser, or needs an update. Add it from the Chrome Web Store, then try again.
