The AgentForce for Slack Deployment Guide outlines the exact process for enabling AgentForce in Slack. The steps include:

Configuring the Slack agent connection to link Salesforce with the Slack workspace.

Installing the agent in the “Manage AgentForce” section.

Assigning agent access to specific Slack users or channels.

The documentation notes: “Administrators must first establish a Slack connection through Salesforce setup, then deploy the AgentForce app to the desired workspace. User permissions are managed in the Manage AgentForce console.”

Option A is incorrect because there is no “default Slack channel AgentForce.”

Option B refers to Slack workflows, which are unrelated to direct agent configuration.

Therefore, Option C accurately describes the official Salesforce method for enabling AgentForce in Slack.

In this scenario, Universal Containers wants to bring data from unified Data Cloud objects into prompt templates, and the best way to do that is through a Data Cloud-triggered flow. This type of flow is specifically designed to trigger actions based on data changes within Salesforce Data Cloud objects.

Data Cloud-triggered flows can listen for changes in the unified data model and automatically bring relevant data into the system, making it available for prompt templates. This ensures that the data is both real-time and up-to-date when used in generative AI contexts.

For more detailed guidance, refer to Salesforce documentation on Data Cloud-triggered flows and Data Cloud integrations with generative AI solutions.

The AgentForce Observability and Diagnostics Guide details that AgentForce Session Tracing provides the most comprehensive visibility into agent operations. The documentation explains: “Session Tracing captures the entire execution flow for each agent session — including reasoning engine decisions, executed actions, prompts, gateway inputs and outputs, error logs, and final agent responses — to provide an end-to-end view of agent behavior.”

Agentforce Analytics (Option A) focuses on aggregated performance metrics like usage, engagement, and accuracy trends rather than deep operational data.

Utterance Analysis (Option B) evaluates specific interactions or conversation snippets but does not include reasoning engine or system-level traces.

Hence, Option C — AgentForce Session Tracing — is correct as it provides detailed, end-to-end diagnostic insight across all agent executions.

According to the Salesforce Prompt Builder Best Practices Guide, an effective prompt must include Role, Task, Context, Constraints, and Format clearly defined — a structure known as the RTCCF model. The documentation explains: “Prompts should specify the assistant’s role, define a clear task, include context and constraints, and provide output format instructions to ensure predictable and high-quality responses.”

Option A follows this framework precisely. It defines:

Role: The assistant’s identity (“experienced support agent”).

Task: Summarizing case notes.

Context: Customer issue, troubleshooting steps, next actions.

Constraints: Limit of 5 sentences, plain language, include “No next action required” if applicable.

Format: Numbered sentences for clarity.

Options B and C omit critical prompt design elements such as strict constraints or output formatting and therefore do not align with Salesforce’s prompt design standard.

Per the AgentForce Data Cloud Integration Guide, the AI Agent Session (AIAGENTSESSION) object represents an overarching container that tracks a continuous interaction between one or more AI agents and a user. The document describes: “AI Agent Session is the parent container for a contiguous set of AI Agent interactions. It captures metadata, start and end times, and the relationship to individual messages exchanged during the session.”

Option A, AIAGENTINTERACTION, represents a single step or event within the session, while AIAGENTINTERACTIONMESSAGE (Option B) represents individual messages or exchanges within that interaction. Therefore, AIAGENTSESSION is the correct DLO for reporting on broader agent behavior and performance across an entire engagement.

Since security and data privacy are critical, the best option for the Agentforce Specialist is to integrate the fine-tuned LLM (Large Language Model) into Salesforce by adding it to Einstein Studio Model Builder. Einstein Studio allows organizations to bring their own AI models (BYOM), ensuring the model is securely managed within Salesforce’s environment, adhering to data privacy standards.

Option A (embedding via iFrame) is less secure and doesn’t integrate deeply with Salesforce's data and security models.

Option C (making callouts to OpenAI) raises concerns about data privacy, as sensitive Salesforce data would be sent to an external system.

Einstein Studio provides the most secure and seamless way to integrate custom AI models while maintaining control over data privacy and compliance. More details can be found in Salesforce's Einstein Studio documentation on integrating external models.

Per the AgentForce Testing Center Operations Guide, the batch testing feature allows organizations to upload structured CSV test templates containing real-world user utterances, expected classifications, and desired outcomes. Once uploaded, these test cases are executed in bulk within the Testing Center to validate agent accuracy, reasoning consistency, and grounding before activation.

This structured approach supports repeatable, scalable testing and ensures objective evaluation across multiple topics and scenarios.

Option B (manual testing) is suitable for early prototyping but not scalable or auditable. Option C (relying on pilot feedback) occurs post-deployment and risks exposing users to unverified behavior.

Therefore, the recommended approach is Option A – Upload a structured CSV test template and run batch test cases in Testing Center.

For sales reps who need to draft personalized emails based on previous communications, the Agentforce Specialist should recommend the Agent Action: Draft or Revise Sales Email. This action uses AI to generate or revise email content, leveraging past successful communications to create personalized and relevant outreach to prospects or clients.

Find Similar Opportunities is used for opportunity matching, not email drafting.

Summarize Record provides a summary of customer data but does not directly help with drafting emails.

For more information, refer to Salesforce's Agent documentation on standard actions for sales teams.

According to the AgentForce Data Library and Retrieval Configuration Guide, when organizations have external PDF or text documents that need to be used by an AI agent, the recommended clicks-only approach is to upload the documents as a File Source in the AgentForce Data Library. The system automatically processes the uploaded files, chunks their content, builds a Search Index, and allows you to create a retriever to ground agent responses from those indexed documents.

This method requires no code or manual integration and ensures that all document content becomes queryable through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

Option A is incorrect because LLMs cannot reliably access external links; they require indexed data. Option C, involving Data Cloud ingestion, is a more advanced, developer-level approach—not a clicks-only setup.

Hence, the correct implementation is Option B – Upload PDFs as File Source in the AgentForce Data Library and create a retriever for grounding.

Context of the Question

Universal Containers (UC) wants to build a Flex prompt template that uses data returned by a Flow.

“Flex Prompt Templates” allow admins and Agentforce Specialists to incorporate external or dynamic data into generative AI prompts.

Why “Add Flow Instructions” Is Needed

Passing Flow Data into Prompt Templates: When configuring the prompt, you must specify how data from the running Flow is passed into the Flex template. The designated element for that is typically “Flow Instructions,” which map the Flow outputs to the prompt.

Other Options:

Add Flex Instructions: Typically controls how the AI responds or structures the output, not how to bring Flow data into the template.

Add Prompt Instructions: Usually for static or manual instructions that shape the AI’s response, rather than referencing dynamic data from the Flow.

Outcome

“Add Flow Instructions” ensures the prompt can dynamically use the data that the Flow returns—making Option C correct.
