Manage Prospects from Anywhere in Salesforce with Agentforce
Marketing Cloud Account Engagement now includes Agentforce actions that help marketers manage prospects and nurture activities more efficiently from anywhere in Salesforce. With six new Account Engagement Agentforce actions, users can quickly retrieve prospect information, update prospect details, and manage nurture-related tasks without navigating between multiple tools or interfaces.
Organizations can create a custom Lead Management Agent and add Account Engagement actions to Agentforce topics in Salesforce Setup. These actions enable marketers to streamline common day-to-day activities and access prospect insights faster through AI-assisted workflows.
This enhancement helps reduce manual effort for repetitive marketing tasks and supports more connected workflows across Salesforce and Account Engagement. By bringing prospect management actions directly into Agentforce experiences, marketers can respond more quickly to lead activity and maintain momentum in nurture campaigns.
Marketing Cloud Account Engagement specialists should understand how Agentforce actions extend AI-assisted productivity into marketing workflows. As Agentforce capabilities continue expanding across Salesforce, marketers are increasingly expected to work with intelligent assistants that can surface prospect data and automate routine actions in real time.
This enhancement also highlights the growing importance of integrating marketing operations into broader Salesforce workflows. By configuring Agentforce topics and actions, organizations can help marketing teams save time, improve responsiveness, and create more seamless lead management experiences.
Send Approved Emails, SMS, and WhatsApp Content
Marketing Cloud Next for Account Engagement expands how marketers can deliver approved content and engage prospects across multiple channels. That way, organizations can maintain brand consistency and reach customers through their preferred communication methods.
One update is Distributed Marketing and Alerts, a platform-based feature that shares marketing-approved templates with Salesforce users. Similar to Sales Emails and Alerts, this capability enables users to send approved content directly from Salesforce that maintains marketing oversight and brand standards.
Marketing Cloud Next for Account Engagement also extends Engagement Studio with new SMS and WhatsApp messaging capabilities. Marketers can now incorporate these channels into automated nurture programs, so that prospects can receive communications through email, SMS, or WhatsApp based on campaign strategy.
To support these new channels, Engagement Studio can trigger Salesforce On-Demand Flows using the Send to Flows action. This integration enables marketers to automate SMS and WhatsApp message delivery as part of a larger customer journey and create more personalized and flexible engagement experiences.
By expanding approved content delivery and adding new messaging channels, Marketing Cloud Next for Account Engagement helps marketers create more connected, cross-channel campaigns and maintain control over brand-approved communications.
Protect Form Visitor Privacy
Marketing Cloud Account Engagement now includes an enhanced privacy safeguard for Account Engagement-hosted forms. This update helps protect visitor information by changing how form fields are prefilled for returning visitors.
Previously, eligible form fields could be prefilled across multiple devices based on information previously collected from a visitor. While this streamlined the form completion experience, it also increased the possibility that personal information could be displayed on a device being used by someone else.
With the new device-validation check, eligible fields are prefilled only when the visitor accesses the form from the same device on which the information was originally collected. If the visitor uses a different device, the form does not automatically display previously collected information.
This strengthens privacy protections by reducing the likelihood that personal data is exposed across devices. It also helps organizations align with evolving expectations around data security and responsible handling of visitor information.
Sum It Up
In this unit, you discovered how Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is now smarter, more connected, and more secure. From using Agentforce to manage prospects with greater efficiency, to engaging customers across email, SMS, and WhatsApp, to enhancing visitor privacy with more secure form prefill behavior, these updates help marketers deliver better experiences, save time, and build trust.
