Interacting with related records or workflows without navigating away from the calendar.

Key Features

  • Trigger floating Salesforce modals via DayBack actions

  • Load any Visualforce page, Aura/LWC component or external content URL inside the modal.

  • The calendar remains visible in the background; overlays appear in-context, enhancing the workflow rather than disrupting it.

  • Use Canvas messaging to pass data into the modal and send callbacks to DayBack when the modal closes.

Use-Cases

  • Open a Chatter feed for a given event directly from the event.

  • Launch a record detail modal for a related Opportunity, Work Order, or Customer Contact window.

  • Present custom forms or audits in modal overlays, triggered from DayBack events, then refresh or update the calendar when the modal closes.

  • Upload file to Salesforce or log activities via a modal action and mark the event accordingly without leaving the calendar.

  • Provide inline approval dialogs after an event action, keeping the calendar UI intact.
