Agentforce for marketing

Agentforce for marketing: campaigns, segments and two-way conversations

Short answer

In Marketing Cloud Next, Agentforce helps marketers plan and build campaigns: it can draft a brief, create a target segment, write email and SMS content, build the customer journey in Flow and summarize results. The Campaign Agent turns goals you set into live campaigns and keeps adjusting them, grounded in your approved assets and brand guidelines.

What can Agentforce do in a marketing campaign?

Salesforce lists pre-built skills across the campaign: brief, audience segment, email and SMS content, journey in Flow, and a campaign summary.

What is the Campaign Agent?

An agent that turns marketer-defined goals into live campaigns, decides which campaign earns a customer's attention next, and stays within your approved assets and brand guidelines.

Can marketing messages become conversations?

Yes. Salesforce says that with Agentforce in email, SMS and web, do-not-reply messages can become two-way conversations that connect marketing with sales, service and commerce.

What data does marketing need for Agentforce?

Unified customer data. Salesforce positions Data 360 as the layer that unifies profiles and makes unstructured content such as PDFs and CMS pages usable by agents.

Segments built on duplicate or incomplete contacts will be wrong no matter how good the agent is. Our data preparation guide covers the checks.
