Hot on the heels of our debut newsletter in July, this month I’d like to focus on custom mobile apps built on the Salesforce Community Cloud.
With a growing number of organisations now using communities, coupled with the demand from members to access via their mobile devices, many of us are now researching and evaluating how to best deliver fully branded and often sophisticated mobile community apps.
So whilst this is definitely an exciting area to be working in, it’s not without its fair share of challenges, as well as new concepts and nuances. With that in mind, let’s see if these articles can offer some guidance and inspiration!
Navigate your options for mobilising Salesforce communities with these guidelines
There are currently three broad types of technology solutions to choose from when it comes to these apps, and each has its own unique set of arguments for and against. Here we’ve provided an in-depth look at those choices, helping you make the best decision for your own mobile Salesforce community apps.
How to enable self-registration for custom mobile community apps
The possibility of self-registration means engaging with an organisation through mobile community apps is faster, simpler, and more accessible than ever for community members. Here’s a straightforward step-by-step guide to enabling self-registration within your own Salesforce communities.
Further support for Salesforce standard objects
Looking through the latest set of new MobileCaddy releases, there’s a stack of standard Salesforce objects now fully supported covering activities, multiple product objects, and a whole lot more.
Even smoother migration with our new Automated Metadata Checker ️
Keeping the paranoid amongst us happy too, it’s good to see our Automated Metadata Checker giving users that extra level of comfort when migrating applications from org to org.
You can learn more about these, as well as other exciting new additions, in the August MobileCaddy Product Update (blog, video, and podcast). ️
August 2017 Trust Update ️ ️
As we do each month, here is our outlook on how to manage recent and upcoming changes in the fast-paced mobile environment. Highlights this month are the newly released Android 8.0 Oreo, iOS 10.3.3 GA, and iOS 11 betas and release times.
Winter ‘18 – How we deal with Salesforce releases ❄️
With the latest major release of Salesforce fast approaching, we’re often asked how we ensure apps built and run with MobileCaddy continue to operate. So here we look at our own detailed pre-release monitoring and testing process.
With all this talk about Salesforce mobile community apps, it felt right to reprise an article about how our friends at Appirio delivered an award-winning community app for The Travel Corporation. This just goes to show what can be achieved when the right approach and technology align.
