Salesforce’s URL Structure

Salesforce’s URL Structure

This post was inspired by Mike Schinkel’s “URL Structure”.
Finally found the structure to delete a record in SF, adding it below. Eoin
Here’s a quick introduction to understand the structure of all the URLs in Salesforce:

Instances

Salesforce’s organizations reside on multiple instances, to find out what instance you’re on, once you logged into Salesforce, have a look at the address bar; you’ll notice the URL starts with something like:
  • ssl - North America #0 (aka na0)
  • na1 - North America #1
  • na2 - North America #2
  • na3 - North America #3-
  • na4 - North America #4
  • na5 - North America #5
  • emea - Europe, Middle East, Africa
  • ap - Asia, Pacific
  • tapp0 - Sandbox #0
  • tapp1 - Sandbox #1
https://xyz.salesforce.com where xyz is the name of the instance your organization is on.

Objects’ specific URLs

Every Salesforce’s object has it’s specific URL, here are listed the links to the standard objects:
Objects URLs Objects’ code
Accounts https://[instance].salesforce.com/001/o 001
Contacts https://[instance].salesforce.com/003/o 003
Leads https://[instance].salesforce.com/00Q/o 00Q
Cases https://[instance].salesforce.com/500/o 500
Solutions https://[instance].salesforce.com/501/o 501
Reports https://[instance].salesforce.com/00O/o 00O
Opportunities https://[instance].salesforce.com/006/o 006
Campaigns https://[instance].salesforce.com/701/o 701
Products https://[instance].salesforce.com/01t/o 01t

Basic action URLs

Use the following URLs to perform the listed operations on a specific object. Note this is fundamental to then understand how to create internal custom links.
Object’s overview page
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/o
Create a new record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/e?retURL=/[object_code]/o
Edit a record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/[recordID]/e?retURL=[recordID]
Clone a record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/[recordID]/e?retURL=[recordID]&clone=1
Delete a record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/setup/own/deleteredirect.jsp?delID=[recordID]
where:
  • [instance] is the instance’s name your organization resides on;
  • [object] is the object’s code;
  • [recordID] is the ID of the record itself.
