How do we create a chatter group for a custom object. In that group I want to post feed comments and feed posts regarding to that particular custom object and display in that group.

2why do you need a group, you can directly have chatter on a record already, follow the record and so on.– superfellCommented Sep 11, 2012 at 16:27

We want the chatter functionality to show for a particular object so that user can easily collaborate on it without all other feed or posts coming into it.– Ugesh GaliCommented Sep 12, 2012 at 4:52

1I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to achieve... Are you looking to use Chatter for the setup part of a custom object, ie around the metadata of the object as opposed to chattering on a specific record of that object? Can you give an example of what type of post you are looking to post?– JLiljegren__cCommented Sep 22, 2012 at 3:22

Is this a standard Object (i.e Leads, Accounts, Contacts) or a Custom object one you have created yourself?– Jason LawrenceCommented Sep 24, 2012 at 10:53

I believe chatter groups can't be specific to an object or record only. One possible way to achieve this could be via Apex triggers i.e.
- Create a private group via apex or manually
- Make required users follow the group programmatically based on your biz rules.
- Trigger on FeedItem or specific object to programmatically post/share object required updates on the group

An option you might want to look into: http://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000008atj9EAA
This is a bit more general that creates a group for an "Alert" vs a specific object. The principle is similar.
