Greetings, Salesforce Product Hunter

Welcome to the Salesforce Product Hunt Newsletter, your go-to source to stay connected with the greatest Salesforce resources.

Let's dive in!

Have you ever been waiting for a record to show up in a Salesforce list view—maybe an inbound case, a new lead from a web form, or an approval you’ve been told “should be there any second”—and found yourself hammering the refresh button like it’s a video game?

If yes, this tool is for you Salesforce List View Auto Refresh

Problem it Solves

By default, Salesforce list views do not auto-refresh. That means unless you manually hit the refresh button or reload the whole page, you're not seeing real-time data.

This is frustrating if you're:

Monitoring new case assignments
Watching lead queues
Overseeing service rep or sales rep workloads
Using list views as a lightweight dashboard in a wall-mounted display
Working in high-volume orgs where timing is everything

Without a refresh mechanism, your view is stale after just a few seconds.

💡The Simple, Elegant Solution

Salesforce List View Auto Refresh (Link) is a Chrome extension that automatically refreshes Salesforce list views every hh:mm:ss (you choose the interval).

Once installed, it just works. Open any list view, set the interval from the icon, and that’s it. No manual refreshes. No stale data.

Watch the Demo with clear instructions.
