Agentforce gathers relevant data from the Salesforce, including Financial Services Cloud, Data 360, and connected systems, ensuring the right information is available before execution. - Step 3: Action
Agentforce executes tasks within defined permissions and workflows, such as verifying account details, retrieving information, and initiating service actions. These processes are governed through the Einstein Trust Layer for security and compliance. - Step 4: Outcome
