What is Salesforce Chatter Data Model ?
Salesforce Chatter Data model in mainly depends on Salesforce Chatter feed Items objects. These feed items represents a Chatter Post.
Chatter model is of three types they are
- Chatter Data Model – User.

Salesforce Chatter Data Model – User
In this Salesforce Data Model we are assuming that Sales manager wants to know what their Sales representatives are doing in their organization.
In an Organization Sales representative is a person who woks on many opportunities and the customers or user(Sales manager) follows Sales representative on Salesforce Chatter. When Sales manager follows Sales representative on Chatter he can get all updates of sales representative. From above data model User is Sales manager and User Object is Sales representative. Entity Subscription object supports many-to-many relationship between sales manger and Sales representative.
