Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to take some JSON code produced with a button push on an Account object and convert it into something that's easier on the eyes. I've found something that does this fairly well and I'm looking for Salesforce to do something similar.

Is it possible to make a custom button that does and API call to retrieve data from an external database and then display it in a table? If so, can someone help me get the ball rolling with the code?

Currently, the button is just a URL and I'm passing in one parameter:  https://api.data.gov/sam/v1/registrations?api_key=(insertkeyhere)&qterms=duns:{!Account.DUNS_Number__c}

I think I would need to change the button's Content Source to Javascript or VisualForce page?

I have a flow where I tried to add the multiselect picklist values to a collection variable but this simply added all values as one value (e.g. "x;y;z" rather than "x";"y";"z". How do I add these as individual values to the collection so that I can use them in a loop? 

Hello,

 

I'm interested in adding a field with the Time Zone to our SF Accounts, so that our support technician could schedule demos and support according to the local time of the customer in question.

 

To my understanding there could be a way to create a field which would infer the time zone automatically based on the postal code of the Account, I don't know to do it though. The basic support told me it's possible to add time zone but it would involve formula and that I should ask for help on this forum.

 

I'd be much greatful if anyone could help me.

 

Thanks in advance!
