FullContact Chrome Extension for Salesforce Released

A few months back, we hosted a developer challenge to build a FullContact Google Chrome Extension for Salesforce.

Today, the early beta is available on the Chrome Webstore.  Click here to download.

The goals of the FullContact Chrome Extension were:

  1.  Enable contextual FullContact content inside of Salesforce.com without installing a Salesforce Application.
  2.  Eliminate tedious data entry with an AutoFill function.
  3.  Showcase what kind of applications are possible with the FullContact API.

We like to think of it like “Mingly, but for Salesforce”

We’ve also made it completely open source  on github.  You can get the full source here and tweak as needed.
It’s an early beta (like, version 0.1), so there are going to be several opportunities for improvement.  Feel free to email suggestions anytime to bart@fullcontact.com (or just grab the code and make a pull request!)

    This is really cool! Nice job Bart and the FullContact Team. Even a novice like me could add the FullContact integration to SFDC in seconds :D

      Thanks Joe. This is just our first release and it will definitely get better over time ;-)

    This is brilliant … that said, don’t suppose there’s anyway to move this to the very top of the contact page?

    • Ben Deda

      Brian, we’re glad you like it! We’ll actually be rolling out something even better soon. You can sign up for our Cloud Address Book beta at fullcontact.com/beta. It will take this Chrome Extension to the next level.

    Thanks & done … if I can quickly demonstrate a meanigful hit rate against SFDC contacts this is a no-brainer but it’s easy to forget way down there & I can’t justify spending time researching outside of SFDC or developing on my own to integrate within SFDC until then.

    • Ben Deda

      You’re absolutely right. We’ll check with the developer to see if we can adjust the placement. We want to make sure that it is as useful as possible without getting in the way of the other data the user has.
