Required Editions

Available in: Essentials, Group, Enterprise, Professional, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer Editions

Chatter recommends people who:

  • Follow the same people as you.
  • Are in your management hierarchy, such as your manager, people who report to your manager, and people who report to you.

    Salesforce uses the Manager field on your personal information page to determine these recommendations. If this field is blank, Chatter doesn't recommend people based on your management hierarchy. Only your Salesforce administrator can edit the Manager field.

  • Are popular, which means they have many followers.
  • Are new to Chatter.
  • Are interested in the same records as you. For example, someone who has looked at or edited an account that you've recently viewed.
  • Are followed by the people who follow the same people as you. For example, let’s say you follow Madison Rigsby. Many people who follow Madison also follow Suzanne Powell, so Chatter recommends Suzanne to you.
