Test Out the Canvas Custom Action

Now you’ll play the part of an Acme Wireless warehouse worker processing orders, and we’ll test out the custom action in the Salesforce1 mobile app.
  1. On your mobile device, tap Action Menu icon to access the action menu.
  2. Tap the Shipify action.
    Shipify in the publisher
    A list of all open invoices along with the customer account and warehouse information appears.
  3. Tap one of the invoices, and a screen appears that shows the total amount of the invoice and a Ship It button.

  4. Tap Ship It.
    This kicks off order processing in the Shipify Web application. In addition, Shipify sets the invoice status to Closed and creates a feed item for the account that shows that the invoice has shipped along with the related order number and a link to the invoice.

You did it! You’ve gone through the entire process of integrating a Web application in the Salesforce1 app using Force.com Canvas and canvas custom actions. Now warehouse workers can find customer orders, ship them out, and then update the order and the account feed.
