Add custom object form to Activity of another custom object

Question

In a custom object, Student, I created the view shows the Activity section with tabs like New Event, New Task, and Log a Call. I have another custom object, Ticket, that has an association with Student.

I would like to allow Users to get on and create a Ticket like you would create a Task or Event in the Student's activity section.

Is this possible? Or can I modify the Event/Task objects somehow?

Answer 1

You can create an object specific quick action on Student object and add it to the page layout.

This trailhead module explains creating quick actions in detail.

Here is a link to Salesforce help documentation on quick actions.
