Can I still take the MuleSoft Hyperautomation Developer exam? +
No. Salesforce retired the MuleSoft Hyperautomation Developer credential, and August 31, 2026 was the last day to sit Mule-Dev-202. New attempts are no longer possible. If you were preparing for it, you need to choose a different certification. Practice tests and courses that still advertise Mule-Dev-202 are preparing you for an exam that no longer runs.
Is there a replacement for Mule-Dev-202? +
Salesforce has not announced a direct successor. The most common alternative for validating MuleSoft integration skills is the Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Developer exam (Mule-Dev-201). Depending on your role, Salesforce automation or platform credentials may cover the Flow side. Check Trailhead for the current list of MuleSoft certifications.
What happens to my Hyperautomation Developer certification if I already hold it? +
Earned certifications stay on your record but are marked as retired once a credential is withdrawn. A retired badge still shows you passed, but employers and partner programs may treat it differently from an active certification. Check whether your employer or partner program requires a current credential.
What did Mule-Dev-202 cover? +
It blended MuleSoft RPA, MuleSoft Composer, Anypoint Platform and Salesforce Flow Orchestrator into a single hyperautomation exam. No single active Salesforce exam covers that exact combination, so its preparation material does not transfer cleanly to any one current exam. If you studied for it, expect to rebuild your plan around the outline of whichever current exam you choose next.
Is my Hyperautomation study material useful for Mule-Dev-201? +
Partly. The Anypoint Platform and API-led connectivity parts carry over. However, Mule-Dev-201 goes much deeper into DataWeave, the Mule 4 event model, error handling and building Mule applications in Anypoint Studio. RPA and Composer content does not apply. Use the Mule-Dev-201 exam guide as your starting point.
Should I still learn MuleSoft RPA and Composer? +
If your job uses them, yes - the skills still have practical value even without a dedicated exam. For a certification that is currently active, focus on Mule-Dev-201 for integration development, and show RPA and Composer experience through projects rather than a badge. Keep an eye on Trailhead in case Salesforce announces a new credential.
