Delivered in Spring 13

Chris Simpson

Show activities (tasks, events, emails) in Chatter feeds

Chatter & Files

I would like to see Chatter feeds for Activities or Tasks that are posted on records that I am following. For example, if a user adds a Task for an Opporutnity I am following, I would like to receive a Chatter feed notification.

Update 11/13/2012 - Kayvaan Ghassemieh, Salesforce Product Management

We're excited to say that we're starting to roll out activities in chatter feeds with Spring '13. We're starting with tasks. You'll be able to create a task from a record's Chatter feed and you'll see tasks created on a record (e.g. an opportunity) show up in the task's Chatter feed. We're starting pretty simple but we'll continue to enhance it.

Peter Hsieh - task feed items in a contact's feed won't roll up through to the account's feed yet. We're still working through how to model rollup-type relationships for feeds. But we are definitely thinking about these kinds of behaviors.

I am really happy you guys are bringing this on! Quick question, if I follow an account in Salesforce will activity logged against contacts belonging to that account also how up on my feed? Or will only activities logged directly to that account show up? Thanks

Thank you for the response, I feel listened to. ☺ I’ll be excited to see this in the Spring.

Eileen Tse - we won't immedietely change the nature of reminders from the popup to something else. But we definitely are going to work on reminders. And yes, the idea is that we could start integrating reminders into Chatter and other forms of notification so you could choose to use a different notification method for reminders rather than the good old popup. :)

Will it be possible for the reminders for upcoming tasks to show up in the Chatter feed instead of the extremely annoying pop-up window? That would be super awesome.

#1 thing I need right now, working to use salesforce to reduce the number of meetings needed to update the team on progress. Email to Salesforce works great, but without a notification of the activity it still requires manually opening records to review which is a no-go.

This is a very much needed feature for our sales execs to keep tabs on activities for key accounts/opportunities.

hi all - agree with this suggestion, I found a number of developers who have posted in their blogs on apex triggers. the one we used in my org is: http://nonprofit-force.org/2011/05/24/2-simple-triggers-to-log-calls-and-events-to-chatter/

Any update on this? I'd also like to have this feature.

I'd like to see this also extend to the Service Cloud, so that Case updates can roll-up to Contacts or Accounts so that those following at (say) the Account level could be notified of Case updates for those critcal accounts.
