Short answer

Can I run Apex via my AI client?

Yes. You can send Apex code to Salesforce to run as an anonymous block. This lets you handle data updates and admin tasks through your agent. Here is how it works.

The outcomes

What you get done

The AI handles the execution while you control the logic.

DATA

Clean up records

The AI executes scripts to update fields or fix bulk data errors. You get the results of the execution immediately in your chat.

ADMIN

Manage settings

Run code to change organizational configurations or user permissions. It bypasses the need to click through complex setup menus.

TEST

Verify logic

The AI runs small snippets of code against your live data to see how they behave. You see the success or error messages right away.

HUMAN

Review code

The AI drafts the script based on your request, but you decide when to run it. You stay in the loop for every change made to the org.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a script.

The AI acts as the bridge between your natural language and the Salesforce runtime.

  1. Draft the script

    Your AI writes the specific Apex code needed to fulfill your request.

    sf_execute_apex

  2. Send to Salesforce

    The AI sends the code block to your Salesforce instance for execution.

    sf_execute_apex

  3. Process execution

    Salesforce runs the code in the current context and returns the outcome.

    sf_execute_apex

  4. Report results

    The AI reads the response from the system and tells you if the script worked or why it failed.
