What it is
Agentforce is Salesforce's current platform for creating and running agents in customer and employee workflows. Official guidance connects agent instructions and actions with Salesforce data, permissions, Flow, Apex, integrations, and the Agentforce Studio toolchain.
Evaluate against a permissioned sandbox and real service cases. Review grounding, record access, field-level security, action confirmation, workflow side effects, handoff, auditability, prompt injection, data residency, error recovery, and administrator ownership.
Worth evaluating for
- Organizations building agent workflows around Salesforce records and processes
- Customer or employee tasks with defined permissions and human escalation
- Teams able to test flows, code, integrations, and data in a sandbox
What to measure
- Grounding, record and field permissions, action accuracy, and handoff quality
- Flow, Apex, integration, audit, identity, data, and administrator controls
- Prompt-injection resistance, exception handling, rollback, and reviewer effort
Decision cautions
- Earlier Einstein Copilot or builder guidance may not reflect the current Agentforce surface.
- CRM context and connected actions create material permission and data risks.
- Agents should be tested in a sandbox before any production write access.
