# GenericSObject

API Name: `GradientWorks__GenericSObject`

A convenient wrapper around an SObject of any type (e.g a User, Account, Lead, etc). This makes it easy to write generic actions that access information about the object regardless of type. For example, you can use `name` or `detailUrl` in an [email](/kb/automation-builder-kit-abk/actions/next-steps/sendsingleemailnotificationaction.md) or [slack message](/kb/automation-builder-kit-abk/actions/next-steps/sendchatnotificationaction.md) without having to know anything about the actual SObject.
