What Force IQ does
Force IQ is a lightweight Chrome extension that connects to Salesforce and enhances the interface with additional context and analysis. It is designed for administrators and developers who work in Salesforce every day.
It helps teams move faster, reduce manual analysis and gain structured visibility into automation logic, metadata and configuration dependencies while addressing common friction points in day-to-day Salesforce work.
Documentation, flow comparison and data analysis in one extension
Force IQ connects to Salesforce using the Metadata API and Tooling API, allowing it to read configuration objects, metadata and data in real time. It operates within the context of the currently authenticated Salesforce session and respects the user's existing permissions. No additional backend infrastructure or external data replication is required.
Generate Docs
Create documentation directly from Salesforce metadata, without having to manually interpret configurations or rebuild information in separate files. With Generate Docs, you can produce structured documentation based on how your org is currently set up. You decide which documentation type fits your audience.
Available output types include:
- Technical: focused on elements, logic and structure
- Business: explains process intent, gains, use cases and user impact
- End User: documentation written in clear language including use cases, process steps and outcomes
This allows you to tailor documentation to different audiences without rewriting it from scratch.
Because the documentation is generated from live metadata, it always reflects the current state of your Salesforce environment. When Flows or configurations change, you can simply regenerate it. There is no need to maintain static documents that fall out of sync.
This feature is useful for onboarding, internal reviews, audits and project handovers.
Compare Flow
Review differences between Flow versions, including Screen Flows, in a way that is structured and easy to follow.
Compare Flows provides structured metadata comparison directly inside Salesforce. Instead of exporting metadata, managing XML files and comparing them in external tools, differences are presented clearly within the org. This reduces manual effort and makes reviews faster and more reliable.
As Flows evolve, identifying what changed can be time consuming and easy to miss. Compare Flows highlights additions, removals and updates in a structured view so teams can focus on the impact rather than searching for differences.
Best Flow
Receive AI driven feedback on your Flow configuration, designed to support cleaner structure and stronger alignment with best practices.
Best Flow reviews your Flow setup and highlights areas that could be improved. It analyses the structure and configuration of your Flow to identify patterns that may affect performance, readability or long term maintainability. Findings are categorised into three levels: Error, Warning and Info, making it easy to prioritise improvements.
The analysis can highlight issues such as:
- DML operations inside loops
- Hardcoded identifiers
- Naming convention mismatches
- Multiple queries retrieving similar data
- Deeply nested Decision branches
- Missing fault paths
- Unused variables or resources
- Overly complex element chains
The goal is not to replace your judgement, but to provide an additional perspective that can help refine your work. For teams building and maintaining multiple automations, small design decisions can have long term impact.
Best Flow supports teams who want to maintain structured and consistent automations, reduce unnecessary complexity, and follow shared internal standards.
Ask for Data
Access Salesforce data by describing what you need in plain language, without manually building queries from scratch.
Ask for Data allows you to write a simple request, such as the records you want to retrieve or the conditions that should apply. Based on this description, Force IQ generates the appropriate SOQL query. Before anything runs, the query is displayed clearly so you can review and confirm it.
This makes data retrieval more accessible for non technical users while giving experienced users full visibility and control. It reduces the time spent constructing queries manually and lowers the risk of syntax errors.
The generated SOQL can include:
- WHERE filters
- ORDER BY clauses
- LIMIT statements
- Relationship queries (parent and child relationships)
- Aggregate functions such as COUNT(), SUM(), and GROUP BY
Example request: "Show 5k Opportunities closed this quarter above 50,000. Include Account name as well."
SELECT Id, Name, Amount, CloseDate, Account.Name
FROM Opportunity
WHERE IsClosed = true
AND CloseDate = THIS_QUARTER
AND Amount > 50000
LIMIT 5000
More coming soon
Force IQ is still developing, and there is more planned beyond the current features. New capabilities are already in progress, with a focus on supporting documentation, deeper analysis, and testing workflows inside Salesforce.
As Salesforce environments become more complex, maintaining clarity becomes more important. Future updates will continue to build on that idea, helping teams understand how their org is structured and how changes affect the wider setup. The focus is on making existing processes easier to review and manage.
The value for teams and leaders
While Force IQ is useful on an individual level, its impact becomes clearer when used across a team. When team members can prepare documentation more quickly, understand configuration changes without long review cycles, analyse Flows in a structured way, and retrieve data without writing queries from scratch, day to day collaboration becomes smoother.
Conversations are based on shared understanding rather than assumptions or incomplete information.
For leaders, this often means better visibility into how the Salesforce environment is evolving. It becomes easier to assess the quality of configurations, maintain consistent standards across projects, and reduce time spent on repetitive manual reviews. Technical discussions are more focused because everyone is working from the same reference point.
Over time, this creates a more stable and transparent working environment around Salesforce.
Security and control
Salesforce environments typically contain sensitive business data, and any additional tool needs to respect that. Force IQ runs within the authenticated Salesforce session and uses standard Salesforce APIs to access metadata that the logged in user is already permitted to view.
It does not require storing credentials separately and does not bypass object level, field level or user level permissions. The extension focuses on metadata analysis rather than exporting or replicating business data outside the system. No external database is used to mirror org information, and no background data extraction processes are required.
All actions respect the existing Salesforce security model and governance framework.
Getting started
Force IQ can be installed from the Chrome Web Store and connected to Salesforce in just a few steps. Once connected, it becomes available directly inside the Salesforce interface.
There is no complicated onboarding process or additional platform to manage. You can start generating documentation, comparing Flows, and querying data as part of your regular workflow.
For teams who spend a significant amount of time inside Salesforce, it fits naturally into the way they already work rather than requiring them to adapt to a new system.
Feel free to use and leave your feedback.
Final thoughts
Salesforce environments rarely stay simple for long. Over time, new Flows are added, existing ones are modified, and documentation slowly becomes outdated. Retrieving specific data can require technical effort, and understanding the overall configuration can take time.
Force IQ helps organise that complexity in a practical and manageable way. It supports documentation that reflects the current state of your org, makes Flow changes easier to review, and simplifies the process of accessing data.
A clearer view of how everything fits together makes everyday work simpler. Force IQ gives teams that visibility, so they can maintain, improve, and develop their org with more confidence and less friction.
