This week on the Salesforce Admins Podcast, we catch up with Vin Addala, a Product Marketing Manager, Senior Director at Salesforce. He gives us a sneak peak at the upcoming Dreamforce episode, Design and Build Apps Fast for #AwesomeAdmins, and fills us in on all the latest developments in board gaming, too.
Join us as we talk about all the new things App Builder can do for you to make powerful, low-code applications.
You should subscribe for the full episode, but here are a few takeaways from our conversation with Vin Addala.
The App Builder Dream
You might recognize Vin from our last episode with him about Dynamic Forms and App Builder. “I wanted App Builder to become a one-stop tool for you to build low-code applications,” he says. In this Dreamforce episode, the primary thing he wanted to get across was that new features are continually getting added to make it more powerful! They’ve added drag-and-drop components, fields, actions, and now Dynamic Interactions. The second thing Vin wanted to show in this Dreamforce episode is how all these different features come together to solve real-world problems and address real needs.
Vin’s team has added a lot of interactivity to the applications you can build with low-code tools, but they wanted to take it a step further. “We wanted to create a low-code framework where components can talk to each other,” so if you have a list of addresses, for example, you could have a map component that can take those addresses and map it. A low-code app builder can create interactive elements on a page in way that was previously only possible for developers.
Balancing Power and Efficiency
Coding events and interactions models can get really complicated — while there are a lot of models for how to do things, it can be hard to translate that into something accessible for the rest of us. “When I look at all these features and capabilities, I see how powerful they will be if I can democratize them and give that power to the admins,” Vin says, “but I have to do it in a way that will be easy to approach.”
Part of the challenge is making sure to balance the power of App Builder with safeguards to make sure you can’t break your org too severely. That means Vin needs to be careful about what features he has his team build, how far they go, and how they go about implementing them. “I really don’t want people to reinvent the wheel,” he says, “I want people to be focusing on solving a business problem than the nitty-gritty details of how to solve a business problem.”
Why Vin Needs Your Help
App Builder is becoming more and more powerful with each release, so Vin wants you to take a second look at what it can do, especially if you haven’t checked in on it in a few releases. “Revisit any old assumptions you’ve had about App Builder and come back to it with a fresh set of eyes,” he says, “App builder is a lot more powerful than it ever has been in turns of helping solve and build turnkey business applications.” Give it a try and reach out to Vin and his team to let him know where they can improve to make it even better.
