Enterprise Salesforce teams are under more pressure than ever. Instead of enabling teams to scale, outdated DevOps platforms often force enterprises into painful workarounds — rigid pipelines, limited branch strategies and manual steps that compound with every release. The result? Slower deployments, frustrated teams, and workflows that feel more like compromises than solutions.
At Gearset we’re committed to building powerful products designed to solve these challenges head-on. We’re introducing native Gitflow support directly into Pipelines, along with a suite of new automation and governance capabilities built specifically for the world’s largest and most complex Salesforce teams.
With this release, Gearset gives enterprises the control, flexibility and predictability they need to deliver Salesforce changes at scale — without sacrificing speed or global alignment.

Introducing native Gitflow support in Pipelines
For enterprise teams managing dozens or hundreds of developers, Gitflow isn’t just a branching strategy — it’s essential infrastructure. But until now, Salesforce DevOps tools have struggled to support Gitflow cleanly, forcing teams into rigid workflows or brittle processes they can’t truly scale.
Gearset’s native Gitflow support in Pipelines gives teams a first-class branching and release management experience, purpose-built for large orgs. You can now:
- Bundle multiple features into a single release branch
- Move releases through environments seamlessly from dev → test → staging → production
- Maintain alignment across global teams using a consistent release model
- Adopt the branching strategy that best fit your team, evolving at your own pace
And because Gitflow is built on Gearset’s already powerful Pipelines UI, your releases will still benefit from seamless validations, automation, governance and visibility.
PR Queuing: predictable and conflict-free delivery
Large teams often hit a bottleneck when multiple developers try to merge or deploy at once. Manual coordination creates a “race to click”, and even small timing differences cause conflicts and delays.
With PR Queuing, Gearset removes that friction entirely. Instead of piling into a release branch at the same time, changes enter a managed queue. Gearset will automatically:
- Sequence merges and promotions safely
- Validate each change in order
- Remove guesswork and contention
Your team can expect reliable, predictable delivery at scale — even when hundreds of changes are flowing through your pipeline each week.
Hyper-automation with Continuous Delivery Rules
Enterprise teams need speed, but they also need governance. Continuous Delivery Rules strike exactly that balance. They allow teams to define trusted conditions — such as “validations passed”, “tests succeeded”, or “code reviewed” — and Gearset automatically promotes changes once those conditions are met.
This eliminates manual steps that slow down releases while still respecting the organization’s compliance and approval processes. Key benefits include:
- Automatic movement of changes after approval
- Streamlined release cycles with no manual intervention
- Consistent enforcement of organizational governance
CD Rules automate the slow, manual steps that hold enterprise releases back — speeding up delivery while keeping governance front and center.
Empowering admins with the Gearset Chrome Extension
Admins play a crucial role in all Salesforce teams, but historically they’ve lacked the visibility and workflow alignment developers rely on. The new Gearset Chrome Extension helps close that gap. Admins can now:
- Track changes directly from the Salesforce UI
- Minimize context-switching between Salesforce and Git
- Work in sync with established CI/CD workflows
This extension helps enterprise teams standardize practices across every function — finally bringing developers, admins and release managers into the same delivery rhythm.
Global consistency with Layered Modules
As enterprises scale, the challenge isn’t just speed — it’s alignment. Distributed teams often need freedom to customize their Salesforce environments, but a lack of control at the core can lead to drift, rework or compliance risks.
Gearset allows you to define a shared global core baseline while granting flexibility to regional or departmental teams. When changes are approved in the core layer, they cascade automatically to dependent layers — preserving autonomy without sacrificing governance.
This architecture is purpose-built to help global enterprises:
- Maintain consistent standards to reduce duplication and drift
- Govern changes across regions
- Scale safely and efficiently
Layered Modules gives enterprises a clear way to maintain global alignment while still supporting the autonomy of individual teams.
Why do these updates matter for enterprise Salesforce teams?
With native Gitflow support, PR Queuing, Continuous Delivery Rules, the new Chrome Extension and support for Layered Modules, Gearset provides:
- Predictable and conflict-free delivery
- Flexible branching and release models
- Automation that respects compliance
- Standardized workflows across all roles
- Global alignment without slowing teams down
Gearset is built for scale — and this release reinforces our mission to provide the world’s most capable and most flexible Salesforce DevOps platform.
