Global Model Actions / Skuid Model Triggers

Pat,  can you flesh this out a little bit.  I suspect there are some really cool things here - but your sketch needs some more details.  

Thanks. 

A great example is multi currency field CurrencyISOCode. Since there’s no way to set a dynamic default value using anything from Salesforce, even triggers as before triggers aren’t evaluated when creating new rows, so I’ve been using Model Actions.

Problem with this is that I have manually do this in every model on every page I’d like this to be done. I have easily over 50 models that I’ve implemented this dynamic default currency. As an example, I set the CurrencyISOCode field on all models based on Line_Item__c to have the same currency as Receivable__c.

So, I’d prefer to have a new Skuid app page, not a Skuid page stored in skuid__Page__c, where I can see all objects listed in a tree structure grouped by the following:

• Standard Objects
• Custom Objects (not from package)
• Skuid Objects
• Conga Objects
• etc
• etc

I love the way you think, Pat. 

Building triggers with the skuid action framework would be WAY better (easier, faster) than re-learning apex every time I need a trigger.

So Matt got me thinking with his post.

Can this not be done in the same way as Conga Composer does it’s processing?

So, create a separate service, just like Conga, that takes parameters to process a skuid page. ie. skuid_page_id and other parameters needed. Then if the page can do Action Framework on page load, then Bob’s your uncle.

So basically use Outbound messages within Workflow.
