Introduction
Salesforce App Builder is a declarative development framework within the Salesforce Platform that enables users to design, build, and customize business applications using clicks instead of code. Using tools such as Lightning App Builder, Object Manager, Flow Builder, Schema Builder, and Security controls, App Builders can create scalable applications, automate processes, manage data models, and deliver dynamic user experiences. This training prepares learners to design robust applications aligned with business requirements and supports preparation for the Salesforce Platform App Builder certification.

Learner Prerequisites
• Basic understanding of CRM concepts
• Familiarity with Salesforce navigation and standard objects
• Basic knowledge of business processes (Sales, Service, or Operations)
