The outcomes.

What you get from the data.

The AI moves from finding your reports to interpreting the specific numbers within them.

DATA ACCESS

Pull raw metrics

The AI identifies your existing dashboards and pulls the specific data points used to build them. You get the actual numbers instead of just looking at a picture of a chart.

TRENDS

Spot patterns

Since the AI has the underlying numbers, it can calculate growth rates, identify outliers, and find trends that aren't obvious in the visual dashboard.

SUMMARIES

Generate reports

Your agent can take the dashboard data and turn it into a written summary or a structured list for your next meeting.

HUMAN REVIEW

Verify findings

The AI presents its analysis and the source numbers. You review the logic to ensure the interpretation matches your business context before taking action.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change data in my Salesforce dashboards?

    No. This connector only reads dashboard data and metrics. It cannot edit, delete, or create records in Salesforce.

  • 02

    Can I use this to create new Salesforce reports?

    No. The tools are designed to retrieve existing dashboard data, not to build new report objects in Salesforce.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my entire Salesforce instance?

    The AI only sees the data it retrieves through the specific tools you authorize it to use.

  • 04

    What happens if a dashboard is empty?

    If the dashboard contains no data, the AI will report that the retrieved metrics are zero or null.

  • 05

    Can the AI perform complex SOQL queries?

    No. This specific intent uses tools to pull existing dashboard data. It does not allow for writing and executing custom SOQL queries.
