How to #Hashtag Records in Salesforce
#Hashtags are used to organize records around a common theme. For example, I use hashtag to tweet about all the new features and functionalities in a Salesforce Release ( e.g. #SalesforceWinter20).
You can also use #hashtag in Salesforce with chatter posts and records. Let’s say that you want to capture the hobbies/interests (like ‘Golf’, ‘Soccer’, ‘Investment’, ‘Philanthropy’ etc) of your of leads and contacts. One way to capture this information is to use picklist or multi-select picklist field, which an admin will need to create and maintain. But an easier and better way to capture this information will be to use #hashtags. You can use as many hashtags as you want on a record and then search for information based on that. More

For example, when you create a community on Salesforce, by default the URL is going to be something like <name>.force.com or let’s say asagarwal.force.com. But you can change this to customers.asagarwal.com or whatever that you want it to be as long as you own that domain. And it is really simple to achieve this (say about 10-15 minutes effort or less)
