The global CRM giant, Salesforce introduced the next-gen MuleSoft on June 29, 2022, which is a unified solution for integration, APIs, and automation that lets teams automate any or all of the workflows fluidly. Thus, letting your team adapt to the constant changes that occur in your business workflows without the help of any technical or non-technical teams.

The next-gen MuleSoft Automation and Integration tool comes with no-code capabilities that help you quickly automate repetitive tasks utilizing bots with the help of MuleSoft RPA. Further, it has the capacity to connect data from any system like Workday, Stripe, Slack, etc., with MuleSoft Composer.

Additionally, these capabilities are integrated into the Salesforce Flow — a suite of automation technologies that helps customers automate any business process swiftly in Salesforce — helping businesses save time, deliver better experiences, and increase productivity. With this, customer service agents can sync customer records faster to improve customer service interactions and sales teams can close deals effortlessly.

Shaun Clowes, the Chief Product Office at MuleSoft quoted that MuleSoft empowers organizations integrate complex data and data systems while expanding the user base of business automation throughout various business functions. The result of these efforts is to empower everyone to do more with less, thereby creating workflows and integrations faster driving efficient growth and value.

MuleSoft Automation and Integration: Bringing the future of work to every team

Macroeconomic uncertainties, prices, hiring and more are sweeping across markets making businesses focus on saving costs, increasing productivity, and enhancing their growth. According to Salesforce Research done in June 2022, the demand for time-saving automation from businesses rose to 90 percent over the last two years.

But with the work-from-anywhere culture taking over the world, firms have to manage large volumes of data and systems and carefully connect them to avoid any kind of integration roadblocks. Plus, 96 percent of companies find it difficult to modify their current automation whenever they have new business requirements or new systems integration is required.

The latest Salesforce MuleSoft release addresses these business concerns and empowers firms with the following capabilities

Ø Deliver Intelligent Automation Anywhere

MuleSoft RPA empowers teams to usurp manual and repetitive tasks with bots that are capable of processing data from any business system, photo, legacy user interface, or document intelligently. Teams can share these bots and reuse them across various business functions.

Ø Drive faster innovation with clicks and no-code

MuleSoft RPA and MuleSoft Composer are equipped with bots and pre-built connectors that connect applications seamlessly — driving the innovation process with just a few clicks and zero-code.

Ø Automate and integrate anything

Ø Achieve end-to-end automation at scale

Business teams can automate workflows across various apps and systems using MuleSoft RPA easily by integrating the RPA bots with Salesforce Customer 360, MuleSoft Composer, and Anypoint Platform coherently.
