concerns
▪ Dramatically reduces time to unlock back-
office systems
▪ Available in DE orgs; add-on license
required in Production orgs
Integrate external data faster

Process Builder
Next Generation Workflow
Multiple “Rules” in 1 process
More Flexibility
Graphical Interface
Workflow Rules
New Actions

With Process Builder You Can….
✓ Create a record (related OR unrelated to the criteria object)
✓ Update fields on ANY related record
✓ Launch a trigger-ready Flow
✓ Send an email
✓ Post to Chatter
✓ Submit for approval (or trigger existing approval process)
✓ Execute Apex Code

Process Builder Limitations
✗ Create Tasks
✗ Send Outbound Messages
✗ Design Screen Flows
Use Workflow Rules
Use Visual Workflow

Why does it say “Flow” sometimes?
▪ Behind the scenes, a Process Builder process is a Flow
– Same engine as Visual Workflow
▪ Surfaces in
▪ End user error messages
▪ Packaging
▪ Maybe others…

What can I build with Lightning Components?
 Lightning Component Tabs for Salesforce1 Mobile App (BETA)
– Single or multiple “page” apps available in “Stage Left”
– implements=“force:appHostable”
– This is what you’re building in the tutorial!
 Custom Components for Lightning App Builder (PILOT)
– Components designed for ease-of-use via tools, available in the palette
– implements=“flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes”
– You’ll see this in the next section!

What else?
 Lighting Applications
– Full-page Lighting Component-based applications
– URL-addressable
 Lightning Extensions (Limited Pilot)
– Override the default components with custom components

extensibility
 Components can be used
to compose apps

Visualforce and Lightning Components
Full FAQ at: https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Lightning_FAQ
 What’s the difference?
– Visualforce components are page-centric and most of the work is done
on the server. Lightning is designed from the component up, rather
than having the concept of a page as its fundamental unit. Lightning
Components are client-side centric, which makes them more dynamic
and mobile friendly.
 Where can I use what?
– Currently you can only use Lightning Components in the Salesforce1
Mobile App or a standalone app, not in the Salesforce desktop UI.
– Currently you can use Visualforce inside a Lightning App, but not a
Lightning Component inside Visualforce.
