Build Launch and Track Campaigns

Revolutionizing Campaigns: How Marketing Agents Empower Your Marketing Team Marketing agents are transforming how businesses create, launch, and track campaigns—delivering better results while boosting internal team productivity and cohesion. With the power of AI and data, these agents act as collaborative partners, enhancing marketing efficiency and creativity in unprecedented ways. A Smarter Approach to Campaign Challenges Marketers have long faced the challenge of creating quality content at scale. According to the Content Marketing Institute, 54% of B2B marketers struggle to meet this demand, while B2C marketers often lack the resources to make their efforts scalable and consistent. On top of this, they must ensure campaigns are efficient, customer-centric, and stand out in a competitive landscape. Enter marketing agents—AI-powered tools that help teams manage and optimize campaigns, from strategy to execution. At Dreamforce 2024, Salesforce unveiled Agentforce, a suite of intelligent agents integrated across the Customer 360 platform, including Agentforce Campaigns. With 71% of marketers planning to adopt generative and predictive AI within the next 18 months, as per Salesforce’s State of Marketing report, tools like Agentforce are poised to redefine how campaigns are built and delivered. How Humans and AI Agents Work Together Marketing agents are AI-powered virtual assistants that collaborate with humans to analyze data, generate insights, and execute marketing plans. Unlike traditional tools, they understand the context behind your needs and suggest actionable solutions—whether that’s creating content, optimizing campaigns, or analyzing results. By automating time-consuming tasks, marketing agents free teams to focus on high-value activities like strategy and personalization. But the key to maximizing their potential lies in shifting your mindset: instead of simply seeking efficiency, aim to transform how you deliver exceptional customer experiences. 8 Ways Agentforce Campaigns Elevates Your Marketing 1. Intelligent Recommendations Agentforce Campaigns turns insights into actions. For example, Marketing Cloud’s Einstein not only tracks your goals but also suggests adjustments or new campaigns tailored to your objectives, helping you stay ahead. 2. Instant Campaign Briefs Building a campaign starts with a solid brief. With Agentforce, you can create one in seconds using natural language prompts. The AI-generated brief incorporates your goals and guidelines, making collaboration and approvals seamless. 3. Contextual Content Creation Agentforce generates emails, landing pages, and calls to action directly aligned with your brand’s tone and campaign goals. Marketers can refine outputs with natural language prompts, ensuring a perfect fit for their strategy. 4. Effortless Audience Segmentation No SQL skills? No problem. Describe your ideal audience in natural language, and Agentforce will translate that into actionable segments—helping you target precisely the right customers. 5. Automated Journey Activation Agentforce simplifies multi-channel journey creation by drafting personalized campaign flows. You can refine, approve, and activate these journeys with ease, saving time while enhancing impact. 6. Unlimited Content Variations AI eliminates content constraints, allowing you to generate multiple variations for personalized campaigns. Target high-value customers, newcomers, or loyal fans with tailored messages—all at scale. 7. Explore Nuanced Segments Agentforce enables marketers to create segments without relying on overburdened data science teams. Dive into deeper audience insights, such as churn rates based on location, age, or past behavior, with just a prompt. 8. Embed Continuous Testing Testing is often deprioritized due to time limitations. Agentforce automates testing workflows, making it easier to incorporate A/B testing and iterative learning into every campaign.

Salesforce Campaign Flows

Salesforce Campaign Flows: A New Era of Automation

Salesforce’s Flow has long been a powerful automation tool, democratizing access to sophisticated automation for non-coders. It also drives the automation behind Marketing Cloud Growth Edition, including email dispatch. Salesforce Campaign Flows mark a significant step toward making automation more accessible for marketers. For the first time, Salesforce introduces what are termed “non-admin flows,” which offer a streamlined interface for managing Flow automation without dealing with complex nodes and elements. This marks a significant development, as no other Salesforce products currently feature this simplified approach. Marketers now have direct access to Flow’s capabilities. Introduction to Salesforce Campaign Flows Campaign Flows in Salesforce provide a user-friendly interface for setting up email content, applying actions to records triggered by events, and more. This functionality closely parallels tools like Engagement Studio in Account Engagement and Journey Builder in Marketing Cloud. However, the timeline for incorporating features such as Journey Builder’s goals and exit criteria into Campaign Flows remains undisclosed. Flow now supports shorter wait periods, a sought-after feature for orchestrating marketing journeys more effectively. Branching logic with Decision elements allows users to create “yes/no” paths based on lead or contact criteria, adding flexibility to the marketing automation process. Types of Campaign Flows Currently, there are two types of Campaign Flows: Segment-triggered Flows and Form-triggered Flows. The key differences between these Campaign Flows and traditional Salesforce Flows include: Available Elements Campaign Flows are a simplified version of Salesforce Flows, with some elements unavailable in this reduced interface. Key elements such as Wait and Decision elements are included, which are essential for marketing use cases. The following table compares available elements: Element Name Salesforce Flow Segment-triggered Flows Form-triggered Flows Action ✅ ❌ ❌ Add Prompt Instructions ✅ ❌ ❌ Apex Action ✅ ❌ ❌ Assignment ✅ ✅ ✅ Collection Filter ✅ ✅ ✅ Collection Sort ✅ ✅ ✅ Create Records ✅ ✅ ✅ Custom Error ✅ ❌ ❌ Decision ✅ ✅ ✅ Delete Records ✅ ✅ ✅ Email Alert ✅ ❌ ❌ Get Records ✅ ✅ ✅ Loop ✅ ✅ ✅ Recommendation Assignment ✅ ❌ ❌ Screen ✅ ❌ ❌ Send Email Message * ✅ ❌ Send SMS Message * ✅ ❌ Start ✅ ✅ ✅ Subflow ✅ ❌ ❌ Transform ✅ ❌ ❌ Update Records ✅ ✅ ❌ Wait ✅ ✅ ✅ Wait Until Event * ✅ ✅ *Only with Marketing Cloud Growth Wait vs. Wait Until Event Elements The “Wait” element allows for fixed pauses, such as waiting for three days. The “Wait Until Event” element, available in Marketing Cloud Growth, holds Leads/Contacts until a specified event makes them eligible to proceed. This mirrors functionality found in Engagement Studio. User Access and Capabilities In Marketing Cloud Growth, Campaign Flow sharing is set to private by default, with visibility influenced by associated records, sharing rules, and manual sharing settings. This means Campaign Flows are generally private unless additional sharing rules are established. Creating and Editing Campaign Flows Campaign Flows in Marketing Cloud Growth have a simplified user interface compared to Salesforce’s traditional flows. Summary The introduction of non-admin flows in Salesforce marks a significant step toward making automation more accessible for marketers. These simplified interfaces enable the creation of effective marketing campaigns while maintaining the option to integrate with more complex flows in Marketing Cloud Growth Edition. Future developments will likely expand the use cases and capabilities of these streamlined flows.
