Email Messages List View

Did you know you can see email message list views from an Email Messages tab?

You can't get to it from the app launcher, so I wouldn't call it "standard." But you also don't (can't) build it, so I wouldn't call it custom. "Hidden," I think is the right word.

Swap in your My Domain to this URL:

https://yourdomain.lightning.force.com/lightning/o/EmailMessage/list

Bam!

Now you've got a quick and easy way to watch for those automated emails sent from flows. Or a quick place to see what went (or didn't go) in the last hour. Or all sorts of other useful uses!

It works pretty much like any other tab, meaning you can create your own list views, change filters or displayed columns, etc. It's just weird that you can't get to it in the normal ways. And, of course, you can't really edit those email message records, since they've gone out the door already. But at least you can find them quickly.

Make a Tab

Based on a question from a reader, I'm adding a quick update to my original post: You can make a Web Tab to easily get back to email messages.

Just go to Setup> User Interface> Tabs> Web Tabs and then work through the screens using the URL from above. You'll have a tab that looks like any other custom object tab and you can add it to your apps (or your personalized tab list) anywhere you need.
