### Lovable turns Salesforce data into native team-built apps

Lovable connected its app builder to Salesforce's Headless 360, letting teams create permission-aware dashboards and pipeline views that run as pages inside Salesforce while retaining live system-of-record data. The launch also brought Lovable into Slack and Slack Code, extending the workflow from Salesforce data to collaborative app and agent building.
