MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform™ is the world's leading integration platform for SOA, SaaS, and APIs and is Salesforce CRM’s integration arm. MuleSoft’s new product -MuleSoft Composer- promises to help teams get more out of their existing Salesforce solutions without any need for detailed technical knowledge or time wasted waiting for skilled development resources.
In other words, Composer is bringing integration automation at the fingertips of Salesforce users and this blog will be covering the benefits and limitations that come with MuleSoft’s new no-code tool.
What is MuleSoft Composer?
MuleSoft Composer offers a fast and easy way to connect some of the most commonly used business applications to Salesforce from within the Salesforce user interface.
Through an intuitive, no-code interface, Salesforce users can unlock data and automate workflows in just a few clicks, without forking out for development.
Here are some of Composer’s most exciting benefits.
Design integrations with no code
Composer helps Salesforce users cut down on their development resources without scrimping on quality projects. With Composer, users can create multi-system integrations and logic from within Salesforce itself. Zero coding required. All it takes is a few clicks.
Pre-built connectors and templates
Composer has over 150 pre-built connectors and templates for popular applications like Workday, ServiceNow, SAP and Twilio, which help users jumpstart their projects and get up and running in no time at all.
Real-time data previews
Never worry about data validity again. Composer verifies the data pulled up by users on a real-time data preview display to ensure that it’s fit for purpose.
Built-in monitoring
Users benefit from built-in monitoring for all integrations with automated error alerts that help identify and resolve any issues in a timely manner.
MuleSoft Composer Cost

Levelling out the integration playing field
With MuleSoft Composer, connecting your applications and data to Salesforce gets so much easier. Gone are the days when integration meant coding skills. Now everyone can build integrations simply and easily, regardless of their level of technical knowledge. Salesforce users can now connect applications and data from different apps from within their own Salesforce user interface. As we see it, Composer is setting the scene for a very exciting next wave of digital transformation for systems integration.
Any limitations of MuleSoft Composer for Salesforce users?
MuleSoft Composer enables Salesforce users to develop ‘light weight’ integrations quickly with just a few clicks, but it is limited to the existing set of the out-of-the box connectors and templates that MuleSoft has already developed. For more demanding, ‘enterprise-grade’ integrations, MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform remains the number one choice for businesses across industries.
