[Salesforce / Chrome Extension] Happy birthday to the ORGanizer: 1 year on the store!

Checking my diary agenda I could not believe: ORGanizer's first go live was exactly 365 days ago!

I wanted to share my love and expertise for Salesforce in one single Chrome Extension to be free for all, and after 1 year I receive cheers from my Salesforce pals because ORGanizer helps them successing in their daily tasks!

Here are some quick numbers:

• 20 releases
• users from 127 countries
• 4000 active users ca.
• 28 new features (7 suggested by you)
• 47 enhancements (17 suggested by you)
• 32 bug fix (9 suggested by you)
• 81500 login actions in the last month
• 222 daily logins in the last month

The analytics (recently introduced) say that the numbers are rapidly increasing and the adoption rate is getting higher and higher.

The most important number is the active users:

And indicates the number of users that day after day keep getting the ORGanizer on their Google Chrome browsers...and it is incresing day by day, and I cannot be happier!

The ORGanizer is more than the extension itself.

Trying to make it the most amazing Chrome Extension ever, there an ecosystem of side projects and systems to help me achieving this aim.

[Salesforce / Lightning] Trigger automatic Lightning Quick Action popup close

Few days ago my #AwesomeAdmin buddy Tom Blamire asked me:

"Do you know if I can automatically close a Quick Action popup window after triggering an action that does not require a UI (like downloading something from a Visualforce page)?"

The flow was simple as he asked me: click on a quick action on a standard layout page (with Lightning Experience enabled), trigger something (that can be a call to a Visualforce page or simply a backend elaboration from Apex) and close automatically the popup.

This is the solution: in this case the setTimeout() call was necessary because you need to get a bit "asynchronous", but if you make an Apex controller callback, you don't need it.

Thanks to Salesforce Lightning framework it is easy as it seem:
