SFMC Companion

This Extension is designed to support navigation and discovery in Marketing Cloud by creating connections between objects.

SFMC Companion Chrome Extension

The SFMC Companion is designed to enhance your experience within the Salesforce Marketing Cloud by facilitating navigation and discovery among various Marketing Cloud objects such as Automations, Queries, and Data Extensions. This extension allows you to quickly identify where objects are saved, what activities utilize them, and how they interact with one another.

By clicking on specific objects, you can seamlessly access related items: find out which Queries target a Data Extension, retrieve a list of Data Extensions referenced in a Query, or explore Automations using a particular Query. The intuitive built-in search function makes it easy to locate objects by name, ensuring quick access to crucial information.

As you explore, detailed object reporting enables users to export comprehensive inventories tailored to their Marketing Cloud instance, adhering to the permissions and roles assigned to users. Note that this extension is currently in active development and is offered on an “as-is” basis without any warranty.

I must have extension for all Marketing Cloud users. With it you can quickly find Data Extensions and see their relationships, find Automations and inspect some of their elements without having to pause them. A true time saver, essential for those getting to know an already running account.

After adding the chrome extension, When I tried to refresh it's not working. it is showing error. Instead of 3 ( Legacy, Test, ContactsMeta ) green color, I am getting only one green button ( Rest ) and this companion is not working for me. In alerts it is showing 200 and 500 error. Can anyone suggest me to resolve this. I am trying to use this companion but not working.

Fantastic for, among other things, determining which automations are able to be combined. Love the addition of the "Update All" button! A true time saver, great UX feature.
