Automated architecture diagrams
Salesforce architecture is foundational. Architects spend precious time piecing together data models, understanding object relationships, and trying to reconstruct how processes actually function—until now.
With Elements.cloud, automated architect diagrams provide an instant, structured view of your technical architecture, sequence of calculations, and order of executions, eliminating the need for painstaking manual analysis and enabling architects to make informed decisions quickly.
Automatically generated from Org metadata
Visualize order of execution for Salesforce objects
Faster and more accurate than manual analysis

Challenges of understanding your Salesforce architecture
Schema Builder ain’t cutting it
Understanding your Org’s data model requires more than Schema Builder. It takes time, attention to detail, and cross-referencing multiple objects just to uncover how data is structured for a given capability.
Understanding execution order is difficult
Architects need to fully grasp the order of operations for triggers, workflows, and validations. Without clear visualization, troubleshooting and optimizing automation is slow and frustrating.
CPQ chains are impossible to track
Complex CPQ pricing chains involve multiple dependencies across record-based configuration. Without a clear visual representation, diagnosing pricing issues or optimizing automation performance is guesswork.
Automated blueprint for your Salesforce Org
We built Elements.cloud to take the pain out of Salesforce architecture design and analysis. Now, with automated architecture diagrams, architects can instantly visualize how their Org truly works—without manual effort.
Automated Data Models (ERD) Coming soon
Simply ask a natural-language question about the scope of capability you want to understand. AI analyzes your Salesforce objects to generate an interactive data model diagram, providing a complete view of objects and their relationships—without the need for manual documentation.
A clear color-coded visual representation of objects linked to your metadata dictionary to allow a deep dive into metadata detail and dependencies.
Order of Execution Diagrams Coming soon
For any Salesforce object, AI can generate an order of execution diagram. Visualize how your flows, apex, validation rules, escalation rules, required fields, and other components come together, so you can debug and enhance automation issues efficiently.
Every step in the diagram is linked to corresponding Salesforce metadata, allowing development teams and technical teams to quickly navigate and make changes to affected automations.
CPQ Price Calculation Diagrams
Whether you want to understand how a price was calculated for a given quote line item, or you want to understand how your price rules, price conditions, and price actions all come together for a specific product, SKU, code, or product bundle – we’ve got you covered.
Elements automatically generates CPQ price calculation diagrams that in a simple way visualize and demystify the complexity of your CPQ setup, helping product teams and development teams work more efficiently.
Salesforce Cloud architecture templates
You could start by analyzing your org, or use a library template of the data model for your cloud – Sales, Service, CPQ, Education…. The library is always growing as enhancements for existing clouds are released, or new clouds are launched.
These templates follow the Saleforce Architecture Digrams standard, which has been designed for clarity and readability. Elements is one of only two vendors licensed to use the standard and Salesforce icons.

Frequently asked questions
architect.salesforce.com offers a wealth of resources, including documentation on diagram notation which can be found here.
An Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a graphical representation of the relationships between entities in a database or system. It is a useful tool for designing and visualizing the structure of a system, and for communicating the design to stakeholders.
The architecture diagrams are living documents. They need to be managed, support collaboration and have version control. They are also connected to other artifacts. That can only be achieved (without a considerable admin overhead) with an enterprise architecture tool.
Certified Technical Architect is the highest level of certification. But there are different types of architect who all need a tool for documentation; solution architects, functional architects, data architects, technical architects.
