Every admin has a backlog of ideas that are good but never quite urgent enough to build. Builder Central, now in beta, is here to help you take those ideas into production. This week, I sit down with Salesforce product managers Tiaan Kruger and Daivat Dholakia to find out what it’s all about.
With Builder Central, you can go from describing an idea to a working solution on the platform without using code. You can use the agent-powered tools that you love while keeping your data on the platform you trust, grounded in the context of your business and configuration.
Most importantly, it’s delightful to use. “I have not had this much fun building on the platform in probably 16 years,” Tiaan says. With Builder Central, you can build things in hours that used to take days or even weeks.
Obviously, we want to test things out in a sandbox before pushing them to production, but that can mean making changes to your metadata as you’re building. It’s cumbersome, time-consuming, and sometimes dangerous.
That’s why Builder Central lets you work things up in a virtual environment before pushing them to your sandbox. You can explore an idea and hash things out without having to roll back metadata. Similarly, visualizers let you see how a flow you’re building looks in your org before it ever gets there.
By the time something hits the sandbox, it’s already working the way you want it to, and you can focus on the finishing touches to push your solutions to production.
With 10 years under his belt as an admin and developer, Tiaan understands that a big part of the job is fixing, maintaining, and improving existing infrastructure. So how does Builder Central help with that?
Because it has access to all of your metadata, you can refactor or test existing flows. If you have tech debt in your org (and who doesn’t?), you can probably get an agent to help you with that. You can refresh existing apps with a modern UI and your brand’s colors, then make modifications to your heart’s content.
Finally, everything you create in Builder Central follows your security settings and naming conventions, so your solutions are secure and easy to maintain.
Make sure to listen to the full episode for more from Tiaan and Daivat about Builder Central, and check out the video to see the demo. And remember to subscribe to the Salesforce Admins Podcast to catch us every Thursday.
