Here’s some food for thought - what’s the technical feasibility of further integrating Wordpress’ rich ecosystem of plugins/themes with Salesforce & Skuid?
I say “further integrating” because I’ve read about how Salesforce Records can be pushed into Wordpress as new post/page updates: https://www.lyntonweb.com/inbound-marketing-blog/wordpress-to-salesforce-bidirectional-crm-integrati…
But instead, I’d like to know if we can expose Wordpress plugins/themes into Skuid pages? Or how a developer could go about porting a Wordpress plugin over into a custom Skuid component?
This started as a “what if” scenario & brainstorming session with Pat Vachon earlier in the week. Since then I found out about Wordpress’ own REST API (which seems to have a lot of promise for WP dev’s). The quote below got me very excited!
“… gives instant access to the full range of WordPress’ native functionality… A good way of instantly grasping the potential on offer here is to consider the world of plugins. Any WordPress plugin you can think of is now a candidate for first-class integration into other frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails or Django.”

I could only find a little info on using the WP API with a Heroku App, but there are a couple of existing demo examples. Would it make more sense to use Heroku as a bridge between the two (Wordpress -> Heroku -> Skuid)? Or - even better - Could Wordpress plugins and the Ui/Ux functionality they provide be exposed directly in Skuid pages without needing Heroku at all?
Only info on Skuid + Heroku I know of is here: https://community.skuid.com/t/bonzai-rest-api-documentation
Curious if others think this is even theoretically possible? And if so, any thoughts on how one would potentially approach this? — Can we port or connect Wordpress plugins into Skuid as custom components? :o
I could be misunderstanding the interplay between these API’s. But it has me thinking…
Thank you!
