🚀 Getting Started with Agentforce: Your First Steps

First things first: Create a dedicated Org just for this training.

After that, you can apply the same setup to existing dev orgs in Trailheads for Agentforce experiments 😃.

⚙️ Setting Up Agentforce

Let’s do what we know best when setting up Agentforce:

Use the Agentforce Employee Agent template.

In the Agent’s topics, remove the default General FAQ and customize it to your needs.

Description: What are the goals of your agent?
Role: What does it do daily? How does it interact with customers?
Company: Info about your company and products. Hit Create! For this example, no extra Data Sources needed. Success! 😃

At first, your Agent might not answer questions. Add topics to train it.

Start with the General CRM topic, full of instructions. Roll up your sleeves and build your own Agent! 😜

Try asking for records to see if it fetches info from your Org:

After tests, activate your Agent.

It can now perform some everyday Service Agent actions out-of-the-box.

Who can use this Agent? Time to set permissions!

Label: Grant Employee Agent Access
API Name: Grant_Employee_Agent_Access (leave default)
Description: Grants access to Coral Cloud Employee Agents
License: None (default)
Manage Assignments: Assign users Add your Agent in Agent Access > Edit > Enabled Agents.

Check your app for the new Agent icon on top. Your Agent is live and ready to help! 😃
