ICYDK: The largest update yet to the Anypoint Platform, by way of the Crowd release, has arrived. Its launch precedes Anypoint Runtime 4, which is currently in beta testing, so effectively the Crowd update may likely be the last major update for the Anypoint 3.x based-runtime.

The main purpose of the release, as suggested by the name, facilitates collaboration of broad audiences throughout the integration and API lifecycle. The Anypoint Platform tools have been enhanced, with the inclusion of the new Flow Designer features in Design Centre for functional architects and business analysts who understand the process logic but are not tasked with the detailed technical implementation. Flow Designer allows trigger events to be defined (such as Scheduler or Amazon SQS event received), which will initiate the flow. https://goo.gl/HYt6XC #DataIntegration #ML

ICYMI: The Salesforce connector establishes a connection to the Salesforce system using a SOAP web service (provided by Salesforce). Almost every operation that can be done via the Salesforce API can be done through this connector. This connector will also work if your Salesforce objects are customized with additional fields, or even if you are working with custom objects. The connector supports the option to configure Salesforce connection details, connection pooling, and max limit of active connections.

Configuration: This element must be placed outside of your flows and at the root of your Mule application. You can create as many configurations as you deem necessary as long as each carries its own name. https://goo.gl/mAhK1j #DataIntegration #ML
