5 modules · 15 topics · in course-flow order

1. Module 1

   Where Composer Stops and IT Starts

   Objective. Diagnose which of Ashvale's automation requests belong in MuleSoft Composer and deliver a triage rubric IT will sign.

   • Triage IT's 40-request integration backlog through a 5-test rubric — record volume, transformation depth, compliance scope — routing each request to Composer or to the API estate
   • Position MuleSoft Composer against MuleSoft RPA and IT-built system APIs on who owns the credentials, the error budget and the change window
   • Baseline the manual process before automating it: 14,000 re-keyed records a month at a 4 % error rate is the number every flow is measured against
2. Module 2

   Connections You Do Not Own

   Objective. Design Ashvale's connection inventory — one owner, one service account and one rotation date per entry — and mark the systems Composer cannot reach.

   • Create one named connection per system with its service account, scope and rotation date recorded — target 100 % service accounts, zero personal logins
   • Map Ashvale's 7 systems onto their Composer connectors and flag the 2 homegrown apps as API-estate work for IT rather than shadow automation
   • Read the Composer Connector Reference before building: which triggers and actions a connector exposes, and which fields each one demands
3. Module 3

   Pick the Clock or the Event

   Objective. Evaluate record-trigger, scheduler and invocable-flow starting points per process and select one with its latency and API-call cost stated.

   • Choose between a record trigger polling at 15-second granularity and a scheduler running anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 days, pricing each in consumed API calls
   • Expose a flow as an invocable flow called from Salesforce Flow Builder, an Apex callout or a cURL command, and name who is entitled to call it
   • Hold the quote-to-cash target: closed-won in Salesforce to a NetSuite sales order in under 15 minutes, down from 3 business days
4. Module 4

   Map Fields, Then Prove It

   Objective. Construct the Salesforce-to-NetSuite order flow with data pills, Picklist Mapping and formulas, and prove it on a test record before activation.

   • Bind fields with data pills and reusable Picklist Mapping so Ashvale's 9 country codes and 4 currencies align across applications
   • Build string, math and nested functions in the Custom Expression Editor, then branch an If/Else Block across the 3 order types
   • Test each trigger and action on a single record before activating, then replay 50 records and hold first-run defects under 0.5 %
5. Module 5

   Run History Is Your Evidence

   Objective. Prove every activated flow is observable and governed — On Error routes, a Run History triage cadence and a permission split agreed with IT.

   • Wire the Watch and On Error sections so a failed step raises a Slack alert instead of leaving a silent gap in NetSuite
   • Work Run History inside its limits — 1000 records per flow, 2 weeks of retention — with a weekly triage slot so no error ages out unread
   • Split Builder and Administrator permissions across the 3 business teams and hand IT a monthly register of active flows, owners and connections
