The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

Your agent translates your chat into Salesforce actions.

  1. Identify the deal

    The agent scans your current pipeline to find the specific opportunity you mentioned.

  2. Fetch record data

    It pulls the existing details for that deal to ensure it has the right context.

  3. Modify the stage

    The AI pushes your requested stage change or field update directly to the record.
