Guide
Make your workspace prettier by picking emoji icons for tag-like Databases like Category, Segment, or Team:
Enable icons for a Database
To enable icons for a certain Database, create an Icon Field:
Pick an icon for an Entity
Navigate to any Entity of the Database and pick an icon using the button in the top-left corner:
You can also see (and sometimes update) the icon throughout your workspace:
Set icon automatically via Formula
You can set icon automatically via a formula, and it can unfold quite interesting use cases. For example, you can
change task icon based on missing deadline (🟢 🔴)
invent your own status icon for people (🎧 🌴 🔕)
show the value growth status based on some delta (📉 📈)
and even use custom emoji icons for some advanced magic (:boredparrot: :blunt_parrot: :hyperfastparrot:)
. It can be done in the following places:
Then select Generate Icon using Formula action and set some formula.
Some hints:
Formula output should be text that represents emoji.
You can use either ":heart:" or "💖" as a result of the formula.
Custom emojis are supported, so you can upload them in Settings and use them as :some-custom-emoji:
Basic formula you can have is just an emojy itself, like "💖" . Thus you can set the same emoji for all entities for some database automatically.
In most cases you will use If() function to display different emojis depending on some fields combination.
Some formulas for icons examples
Set icon depending on Task State:
If(
State.Name = "Done",
"✅",
If(
State.Name = "In Progress",
"🔄",
If(State.Name = "Ready", "⚡", If(State.Name = "To Do", "📋", ""))
)
)
And here is the result:
Set phone icon for accounts without recent touches:
If(ToDays(Today() - [Latest outreach date]) > 7, "📞", "")
Set the same emoji for all entities of this database:
"🐙"
