Salesforce automation with AI agents

We build AI agents around Salesforce that route leads, enrich accounts, keep opportunities accurate and pass closed-won deals to finance. Flow and Apex keep the fixed logic inside your org. The agents take the steps that need reading and judgment, and they connect through the Salesforce REST API using OAuth 2.0, built and tested in a sandbox.

Salesforce

For sales operations and RevOps teams on Salesforce whose lead queues, account data and pipeline reviews depend on someone cleaning records by hand.

What we automate in Salesforce

The record work around the pipeline, from the first form fill to the closed deal, with your reps deciding what changes.

  • 1

    Lead routing

    New leads are read, matched to existing accounts and contacts, scored and assigned by territory, segment or capacity. Ambiguous matches go to a person with the candidates listed.

  • 2

    Account enrichment

    Account and contact fields are filled from sources you approve, with the source and date stored. Conflicts with human-entered values are flagged instead of overwritten.

  • 3

    Opportunity hygiene

    Opportunities with a past close date, no next step, no contact role or a stage that doesn't match recent activity are listed for the owner each week.

  • 4

    Meeting and email follow-up

    The agent drafts follow-ups and call summaries from activity and notes. The rep reviews them, and updates to Salesforce records are applied once they agree.

  • 5

    Closed-won handoff

    At close, the agent checks the order details and creates a clean packet for finance, or an invoice draft in your ERP, so billing doesn't start with questions.

  • 6

    Duplicate detection

    Likely duplicate leads, contacts and accounts are grouped with a score, and a person decides which to merge.

How one Salesforce run works

Each step is fixed logic, a model doing the reading, a call to the system, or a person on your team. You decide which steps wait for approval.

  • Read · intake agent

    Reads the web form and the company site

  • Match · rules engine

    Finds the existing account and contacts

  • Enrich · enrichment agent

    Fills approved fields with their source

  • Route · salesforce integration

    Assigns the owner and creates the task

  • Review · your team

    Rep confirms any lead with two possible accounts

How the Salesforce integration works

We build on the interfaces the vendor documents, and we link the documentation so you can check it.

A common split works well. Flow handles rules that are the same every time, such as setting a field when a stage changes. Our agents handle reading and judgment, and they write results back as fields and tasks that your Flows can use.

Each write stores the reason on the record, in a field we define with you. A sales leader can open any lead and see why it went to a given rep, without asking the team that built it.

  • Salesforce REST API

    Works on records through sObject resources, with GET to read, PATCH to update and DELETE to remove, and a query resource that runs SOQL. We use it to read and update leads, accounts, contacts and opportunities.

  • OAuth 2.0 with an external client app

    Salesforce says REST API clients authorize through OAuth 2.0 with an external client app or a connected app. Its current guide says creating new connected apps is restricted from Spring '26, so we plan new work around external client apps.

  • Flow and Apex

    Fixed logic that should run inside the org stays in Flow or Apex. Salesforce's Apex guide says Apex is developed in a sandbox or scratch org, not directly in production, and we follow that.

  • Sandboxes

    We build against a sandbox, replay real lead and opportunity samples and compare results with your reps' decisions before production.

Vendor documentation we build against

Links open the vendor's own site. Interfaces change, so we confirm current behavior in a sandbox before we build.

What we read and write in Salesforce

Reading is the default. Each write has a named gate, so you can see who has to agree before anything changes.

  • Lead

    Read, matched, scored and assigned.

    Gate: Rules; review below confidence threshold

  • Account and Contact

    Enriched and linked. Conflicts are flagged.

    Gate: Rules; account owner for conflicts

  • Opportunity

    Hygiene flagged. Fixes applied after the owner agrees.

    Gate: Opportunity owner

  • Task and Event

    Created for follow-ups and next steps.

    Gate: Rules

  • Quote or order records

    Read at close and checked before the finance handoff.

    Gate: Read, handoff reviewed

  • Custom fields

    Written to store score, source and routing reason.

    Gate: Defined with you first

Controls and testing

People stay in charge of money and records. The system keeps the evidence.

  • A narrow integration user

    The integration runs as its own user with a permission set limited to the objects and fields in scope. It can't change sharing rules or setup.

  • Sandbox first

    We build and replay samples in a sandbox, then run read-only in production, then write for a small segment before widening.

  • Field history and logs

    Our run log pairs with the field history in Salesforce, so any change can be traced from the record back to the rule and the source.

  • API calls budgeted

    Salesforce meters API usage per org, so we batch reads and cache lookups to leave room for your other integrations.

Where we stop, and what to expect

  • Heavily customized orgs, with many Flows and triggers acting on the same objects, need a design review so the agent and your automation don't fight over fields.
  • We usually don't auto-merge records or change opportunity amounts. A person decides both.
  • Salesforce is changing how new integrations authorize. We check current guidance for your org before we choose the setup.

Questions about Salesforce automation

Should we use Salesforce Flow or an AI agent?

Flow for rules that are the same every time. An agent for steps that need reading, like a long inquiry, a thread or a company website. Most orgs use both, and the agent writes fields that Flow can act on.

How do you connect to Salesforce?

Through the REST API with OAuth 2.0, using an external client app. Salesforce's current guide says new connected apps are restricted from Spring '26 and recommends external client apps. We check what applies to your org first.

Can the agent route leads and match them to accounts?

Yes. It reads the lead, searches existing accounts and contacts, scores it and assigns an owner by your rules. If two accounts are plausible, a person picks, and the choice is stored.

Will it conflict with our existing automation?

Not if we design it with you. We map which Flows and triggers touch each object and decide which system owns which field. Customized orgs get a design review before any write.

Can it hand closed-won deals to finance?

Yes. It checks the order details, flags missing fields and prepares a packet, or an invoice draft in your ERP, such as NetSuite or Xero. Finance approves before anything is billed.
