What is skuid in Salesforce?

Skuid on Salesforce is a managed package installed within a Salesforce org. This means that almost every action Skuid takes does not consume API calls for the org it is installed in. However, there are some exceptions:

What is a skuid?

Use data source actions to add more functionality to applications. Skuid supports both standard Salesforce invocable actions and custom actions (which depend on the existence of custom metadata in the Salesforce org). Skuid also provides Skuid-defined options (such as some of the Approval Process actions) for additional customization.

Why is metadata important in Skuid?

Metadata explains the structure of your data to Skuid. And because it’s such an essential part of the data model, metadata is unlikely to change after initial set up. However, Skuid must still query for metadata at every page load.

Where do all properly annotated invocable methods appear in Apex Action?

All properly-annotated invocable methods will appear within the Apex Action field picklist; the first method that Skuid detects will likely be selected automatically. If you do not see your method, try refreshing the App Composer.

Can you connect to external Salesforce orgs?

When you have configured the connected app in Salesforce, as well as an authentication provider and data source in Skuid, you can freely connect to the external org’s data within Skuid pages. To do so, select the external Salesforce org’s data source for the models within Skuid pages:

Can an end user see Salesforce?

Salesforce permissions are retained in all data source connections; an end user can only see and edit data they have access to in the associated orgs. Ensure that Salesforce user permissions are appropriately set in each external org being accessed.

Can Skuid get refresh tokens?

If you are sharing credentials or using stored credentials, remove refresh_token from the scopes in both the data source and the connected app (s). Skuid won’t be able to get refresh tokens using this method, but receiving them is also not necessary since users will be providing credentials with each request.
