New York City – MuleSoft CONNECT 2022 – June 29, 2022 – Salesforce [NYSE: CRM], the global leader in CRM, today introduced the next generation of MuleSoft, a unified solution for automation, integration, and APIs to easily automate any workflow so any technical or non-technical team can adapt to constant change and business complexity.
The solution now includes no-code capabilities to automate repetitive manual tasks using bots with MuleSoft RPA (robotic process automation) and to quickly connect data from any system, such as Slack, Stripe, and Workday, with MuleSoft Composer. The new capabilities are fully integrated into Salesforce Flow1, a complete suite of automation technologies across the Customer 360 to help save time, increase productivity, and deliver better experiences. Business teams like sales can close deals more efficiently and service agents can quickly sync customer records to improve customer service interactions.
“As an integral part of Salesforce Customer 360, MuleSoft helps companies integrate complex systems and data, while expanding the universe of people who can use automation across any system or workflow,” said Shaun Clowes, Chief Product Officer, MuleSoft. “The result is empowered business and IT users, from sales and customer service to HR and finance, who can do more with less – quickly creating workflows and integrations that drive efficient growth and faster time-to-value.”
Modern, easy automation and integration bring the future of work to every team
With macroeconomic uncertainty across markets, hiring, prices, and more, businesses are focused on efficient growth, cost savings, and productivity. More than 90% have seen a rise in demand for time-saving automation from business teams over the past two years, according to new Salesforce research. However, the all-digital, work-from-anywhere world has increased the number of systems and amount of data companies must manage and connect, creating integration roadblocks to automation progress. And when new systems are needed or business requirements change, 96% of companies find it difficult to modify existing automations.
MuleSoft Automation addresses those concerns with capabilities that allow customers to:
- Deliver intelligent automation anywhere: MuleSoft RPA enables any team to replace repetitive and manual tasks with bots that can intelligently process data from any system, document, photo, or legacy user interface. These bots can also be securely shared and reused across teams.
- Drive faster innovation with clicks, not code: Purpose-built for business teams, both MuleSoft Composer and MuleSoft RPA seamlessly connect applications with pre-built enterprise connectors and bots.
- Automate and integrate anything: MuleSoft RPA and MuleSoft Composer work seamlessly with Anypoint Platform, MuleSoft’s industry-leading integration and API management platform. Automations can benefit from hundreds of connectors to important systems and even directly invoke APIs created by technical teams.
- Achieve end-to-end automation at scale: Teams can use MuleSoft RPA to automate workflows across multiple systems and apps by integrating RPA bots seamlessly with Salesforce Customer 360, Anypoint Platform, and MuleSoft Composer.
- Maintain security and governance: With Anypoint Platform, IT teams can govern, monitor, and secure any automation and integration built with APIs or bots.

2Multiply the assumed human capital needed to execute a typical process by the total number of processes automated in March 2022. The calculation assumes $20/hr, and 5 minutes of time saved. Money saved = # processes * (assumed money saved/process = $20/hr*5min/process or $1.67/process) = 1,311,913,101,975 processes*$1.67/process = $2.1908949e+12. Time and hours-saved calculations are based on the number of processes automated in March 2022, multiplying the assumed time (5 minutes) and cost ($20/hr) to complete a typical business process. Hours saved = # processes * (estimated avg time saved/process = 5 min) = 1,311,913,101,975 *5 min = 109,326,091,831 hours.
