kmckay9 Custom Twitter Field
I would like the possibility to create a custom tiwtter field where a salesperson could simply enter a lead or contact or account's twitter handle, and that field would then link to the individuals tiwtter page. This functionality could then be carried out to create an AIM field, Skype field, LinkedIn etc. etc. etc.
What I'd like to avoid is requiring the salesperson to have to type: "http://twitter.com/exampleusername" and only need to type exampleusername.
Has anyone successfully done this?
Well probably you can achieve this through use of formula field. Say you have a custom field named- "Twitter_Handle__c"
and a related formula field called "Twitter_URL__c" of the type text there you can enter formula:-HYPERLINK("http://twitter.com/" + RIGHT( Twitter_Handle__c ,LEN(Twitter_Handle__c)-1),"Twitter Profile",_BLANK)
(@Ispita- entry of Twitter_Handle__c)
Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
