# SObject Collection to Activity Timeline Items

## **Overview**

This action simplifies visualizing data from multiple Salesforce objects on a single timeline. Instead of manually combining data from different sources, this action automatically transforms your SObject collections into a format compatible with the [Avonni Timeline component](https://docs.avonnicomponents.com/flow/flow-components/timeline).

***

## **How it Helps**

Imagine you have customer information spread across various objects like Cases, Opportunities, and custom objects. This action lets you combine that data and display it chronologically on a timeline, giving you a complete picture of the customer journey.

***

## **When to Use It**

This action is ideal when you need to:

* **Visualize related data from multiple objects.**
* **Present information in a chronological format.**
* **Create timelines without writing custom code.**

***

## **Example**

To display a timeline of customer interactions, including Tasks, Opportunities, and custom interactions:

1. **Retrieve Records:** Use "Get Records" elements to fetch the relevant data from each object.
2. **Configure the Action:** Map fields from your SObject collections (e.g., Task Subject, Opportunity Name) to the corresponding fields in the Avonni Timeline component (e.g., Title, Description, Date).
3. **Display the Timeline:** Add the Avonni Timeline component to your flow screen to showcase the consolidated timeline.

***

## **Key Considerations**

* Ensure data types compatibility between your SObjects and the Avonni Timeline component.
* Customize the timeline's appearance using styling options.
* For advanced customization, consider using Apex for data pre-processing.
