- 12. What is MuleSoft Composer ? Why ? ➔ Can allow you to unlock capabilities across different parts of the business ➔ Provides an ability to increase your Customer 360 focus ➔ An alternative for Product Owners who understand their business processes ➔ Need for speed of delivery at low cost 12 What ? ➔ Low Code / No Code toolset ➔ Allows you to automate integrations across your ecosystem (either within Salesforce or outside) ➔ Oriented largely at business users ➔ Intended to provide quick, easy delivery of simple integration use cases, low complexity Who ? ➔ Basically, non-developers, Line of Business users ➔ Admins ➔ Salesforce and MuleSoft developers needing to deliver integration and automation use cases quickly and with low effort
- 13. Automation Use Cases (Cross Industry) 13
- 14. Where do Composer and Anypoint come into play ? 14 ❖ Part of MuleSoft Automation Suite. ❖ Composer can invoke Anypoint API’s or RPA bots. ❖ Composer can be an orchestrator of ‘business process’ or form part of a wider automation capability in Salesforce.
- 15. Bigger picture with Salesforce 15 ❖ Composer, Anypoint form part of a larger drive toward process automation and orchestration - or Hyperautomation
- 16. Composer Offerings 16 Deployment options are largely on a feature parity MuleSoft Composer for Salesforce is recommended for Salesforce customers (higher integration)
- 17. Leveraging Composer to Orchestrate with Anypoint What should we consider ? - Use Anypoint to surface key capabilities and data points. A well established API ecosystem is key. - Ensure they are reusable, consumable assets - Consider your security controls (only some are supported in Composer right now) - Be sure to have enabled MuleSoft services in Salesforce beforehand - Establish your named credentials for your API in Salesforce - Use the features of Composer to self document (e.g. Flow Names) 17
- 18. Use Case - InsureCo Claims Export 18 ➢ An insurance company, InsureCo, has a need to be able to automate the sharing of claims activity to a local regulator. ➢ The local regulator needs to know the Claim Info (ID, Amount, etc.) and key Customer details (e.g. Name). ➢ The regulator wants this data supplied as a file so they can consume it as they need to offline. They want to be notified via email when the file is available. ➢ InsureCo wants to be notified when this activity occurs via their Slack channel so they can monitor activity.

- 20. What not to get caught on…. ● Where are the layers? ○ You can’t extract the integration into an application ○ or component to deploy on the Anypoint Platform? ● Flow Naming ○ Environment / Enterprise Functionality / Source / Target / Flow Functionality / Version ● Pipeline Scripting ● Multiple Applications Updates (Pub / Sub) ○ Design with care ● Ch..Ch..Changes https://splatform.devoteam.com/expert-view/mulesoft-composer-part-iii/ 20
- 21. Composer - Things to look out for ➢ Be clear on your usage requirements (there are volume limits per license tier - Starter vs Plus) ➢ Model your flow before starting - will save you time ➢ Consider your data structures - and how you will navigate them, orchestrations aren’t easy ➢ Data validation - Expect to validate at source or target, difficult in transit ➢ Keep it simple - complex orchestrations are likely not possible (use Anypoint), Nested functions possible but messy ➢ Connectors and Platforms - Understand the capabilities and constraints of different connectors and underlying systems (not all data structures may be available - yet) ➢ Consider the use of other Salesforce Flow capabilities to support Composer orchestrations (e.g. Formulas) as these may save time ➢ Error handling (retries etc) not there yet - in BETA now ➢ Limited authentication options ➢ Requirement for enterprise accounts for some services 21
- 22. Composer / Anypoint Platform - Differences 22 Capability Composer Anypoint Platform Platform Part of Salesforce or standalone, currently a small range of connectors Full iPaaS Landscape, large array of connectors and capabilties Users Business Users, Admins IT and Developers Features Low Code / No Code Full development tooling and capabilities, Low Code but supports complex code use cases when needed Integration / Orchestration Simple integration use cases only, Simple orchestrations Complex use cases, orchestrations Data Structures Basic data structures and mappings Complex data patterns, aggregations etc. Cost of Delivery Each execution costs against the license Cost is deployment based (vCores). Architect wisely. Deployment options are largely on a feature parity MuleSoft Composer for Salesforce is recommended for Salesforce customers (higher integration)
