Unlock Custom App Solutions with Salesforce Mobile Publisher
Transform Your Business with a Branded Mobile Solution
Take a quick glance around—chances are, your phone is right next to you. It’s the same for your staff, clients, and community. Mobile devices have become indispensable, yet many mission-driven organizations still haven’t developed their own branded mobile apps. Why? Because creating a secure, scalable, and professional-grade app is complex and resource-intensive.
That’s where Salesforce Mobile Publisher steps in. If your team uses Salesforce Lightning or Experience Cloud, you already have the foundation. Mobile Publisher simply transforms that experience into a fully branded, secure mobile app—custom-built for your users and published in both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
This blog explores how Mobile Publisher for Salesforce works, the benefits of mobile branding solutions, and how organizations like yours can use it to strengthen engagement, streamline communication, and unlock mobile-first innovation.
What Is Mobile Publisher for Salesforce?
Salesforce Mobile Publisher enables organizations to convert their Salesforce Lightning applications or Experience Cloud sites into branded mobile apps. These apps can be personalized with your logo, colors, fonts, and even your organization's name as the publisher in app stores.
Think of it as a white-labeled, on-the-go version of your Salesforce environment—with your identity at the forefront.

A Mobile Publisher Use Case
One of our clients worked with Provisio to develop a custom mobile solution for their Home Study Post-Release Program. After unaccompanied youth move into the United States, the children can eventually move out of a detention center into a sponsor’s home until their cases go through immigration. During that time, our client provides case management for those children.
How exactly is this organization using Mobile Publisher?
Sponsors will use the mobile app to manage appointments and tasks for their child or children. In many cases, sponsors take in more than one child, so the app is essential for managing multiple responsibilities and tasks, like doctor’s appointments and court appointments.
In Salesforce, each sponsor is linked to the child on a Program Engagement record. When the sponsor logs in to the app, they can select the appropriate child, review any appointments, and click Complete when the task is done so the case worker knows a task has been completed. The sponsor and case manager can work together seamlessly to meet the children’s needs.
There are multiple resources built into the app. For example, sponsors can go directly to the USAHello app where they can find specific services in their area from organizations that serve immigrants.
Sponsors can chat directly chat with a case manager. Also, staff can create forums allowing people within a geographical area to chat with one another and share information, like health or special education services.
Customization Opportunities Are Endless
Every organization has unique needs—and Mobile Publisher is built to meet them. Whether you're running a health clinic, workforce development program, housing assistance network, or trauma-informed care service, your app can be customized with:
Role-based access and login experiences
Interactive resource libraries and document uploads
In-app surveys and assessments
Program dashboards for clients or staff
Push notifications for time-sensitive tasks
Embedded maps and location-based services
Community discussion boards and feedback loops
With the power of Salesforce at the core, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel—just configure the features that matter most.
