Metadata Types and Fields

New Metadata Types

ActionLinkGroupTemplate

Represents the action link group template. Action link templates let you reuse action link definitions and package and distribute action links. An action link is a button on a feed element. Clicking on an action link can take a user to another Web page, initiate a file download, or invoke an API call to an external server or Salesforce. Use action links to integrate Salesforce and third-party services into the feed. Every action link belongs to an action link group and action links within the group are mutually exclusive.

MatchingRule

Represents a matching rule that is used to identify duplicate records.

NamedCredential

Represents a named credential, which specifies the URL of a callout endpoint and its required authentication parameters in one definition. A named credential can be specified as an endpoint to simplify the setup of authenticated callouts.

SharingBaseRule

Represents sharing rule settings such as access level and to whom access is granted.
