- receiving, at a computing device, a request to interact with a child record related to a parent record stored in a database system, the request to interact with the child record being generated via the publisher displayed in a user interface on a display device, the user interface configured to display the information feed in association with an entity of the online social network;
receiving child record information indicating a type of the child record and field data to populate one or more fields of the child record in the database system, the field data being differentiated from message content generated via the publisher to include in a feed item for presentation in the information feed displayed on display devices of one or more users following the parent record in the online social network; and

Abstract
Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for interacting with records using a publisher configured to publish information to a feed of a social network. In some implementations, a computing device receives a request to interact with a child record related to a parent record stored in a database system. The request is generated via the publisher displayed in a user interface on a display device. The user interface is also configured to display the feed in association with an entity of the social network. Child record information indicating a type of the child record and field data to populate one or more fields of the child record can be received. The field data is differentiated from message content generated via the publisher to include in a feed item for presentation in the feed when displayed to one or more users following the parent record. The requested interaction with the child record can be performed using the child record information.
