3. Agentforce for Marketing
Campaign Agent: Salesforce's Campaign Agent for Marketing is designed to revolutionize how marketers build, manage, and optimize their campaigns. By leveraging the power of AI, the Campaign Agent automates campaign creation and execution. Using natural language prompts, marketers can describe their campaign goals, and the agent will generate tailored campaign briefs, target audience segments, and key messaging.
For example, a retail company can ask the Campaign Agent to create a campaign targeting high-value customers with a promotion. The agent will automatically suggest relevant messaging, create segments based on customer data, and recommend promotions to maximize conversions.

Campaign Agent continuously monitors campaign performance and provides real-time recommendations for optimization, ensuring marketers can make adjustments on the fly. This automation not only improves efficiency but also enhances campaign effectiveness by leveraging data-driven insights to achieve better results.
Personalization Agent: This autonomous feature will enable marketers to deliver personalized experiences at scale, ensuring each customer receives tailored content based on real-time data and interactions. By automating the personalization process, it maintains consistent messaging across all channels, increasing engagement and driving conversions.

Unified Conversations for SMS
This latest innovation, unveiled during the Dreamforce Marketing Cloud keynote, allows businesses to transform one-way promotional messages into two-way customer interactions. When a customer responds to an SMS campaign, they can instantly engage in real-time conversations, asking questions or seeking more details—without needing additional links or forms.
This seamless approach enhances customer experience, making it easier for customers to connect with brands. By keeping interactions within the SMS thread, businesses can deliver personalized responses, ensuring more efficient and meaningful engagement.
