Mass cloning Salesforce objects can be a game-changer for organizations or individuals looking to streamline their operations and save valuable time. However, by default, Salesforce does not allow you to mass clone objects, and manually cloning objects from one org to another is tedious and time-consuming which leads to higher costs. That’s where migSO steps in to revolutionize the process.
migSO is a native Salesforce app crafted by our experts, designed to seamlessly clone, export, and manage distinct Salesforce metadata items—all within a single platform. Strictly built as per Salesforce AppExchange guidelines, migSO ensures reliability, efficiency, and maximum value from your Salesforce metadata.
But before diving into how migSO simplifies mass cloning, let’s first explore why businesses need to mass clone Salesforce objects in the first place.
The Need to Mass Clone Salesforce Objects
Here are some reasons why the admin needs to mass clone Salesforce objects from their orgs-
- Save time & effort: It can save significant time and effort, especially when you need to clone the same objects in different Salesforce Org.
- Consistency across orgs: It facilitates consistency across different Salesforce orgs, ensuring that objects carry the same fields and configuration while reducing discrepancies.
- Quick adaption to business changes: It allows admins to rapidly create and deploy new objects to quickly adapt to business strategy shifts.
- Backup & recovery: In case of accidental deletion or misconfiguration of an object in an org, you can clone the lost object from source org quickly while eliminating extensive rework.
