SFMC Tips #320: Marketing Cloud Next – Account Discovery Agent

La Summer ’26 release per Marketing Cloud Next Growth & Advanced Editions introduce un nuovo template Agentforce: l’Account Discovery Agent (basato su un Employee Agent).

A prima vista, il nome suggerisce semplicemente un agente per la ricerca di informazioni sugli account. In realtà, fa molto di più.

Questo agente analizza i dati marketing accumulati in Marketing Cloud Next insieme ai dati sulle attività di vendita provenienti da più fonti, e utilizza l’AI per suggerire le prossime azioni più efficaci per i sales rep.

Gli utenti sales devono semplicemente porre domande in linguaggio naturale. L’AI raccoglie i dati rilevanti, li analizza e risponde con un riepilogo chiaro degli insight più importanti.

Table of Contents

Cos’è questo agente?

I sales rep gestiscono ogni giorno numerosi account e opportunity.

Ad esempio, hanno spesso bisogno di capire:

Quanto è interessato questo account di recente?
Sta rispondendo alle email?
Sta visitando il nostro sito web?
Chi dovrei contattare successivamente?

Normalmente, rispondere a queste domande richiede di controllare più schermate e assemblare manualmente le informazioni.

L’Account Discovery Agent esegue questa raccolta e analisi di informazioni per conto dell’utente, e poi presenta i risultati in un riepilogo facile da comprendere.

Due capacità principali

1. Riepilogare lo stato di un account o di un’opportunity

Un sales rep può chiedere:

Parlami di questo account.

oppure

Parlami di questa opportunity.

L’agente raccoglie le informazioni relative all’account o all’opportunity selezionata.

Questo include dati come:

Marketing Score
Marketing Engagement
Cronologia delle attività recenti
Riepiloghi delle conversazioni di vendita generati dall’AI
Buying Intent

L’AI analizza tutte queste informazioni insieme e le restituisce in un formato facile da comprendere per gli utenti sales, che comprende:

Account Status
Key Insights
Needs Attention
Priority Contact

Piuttosto che limitarsi a mostrare i dati grezzi, l’agente riepiloga la situazione attuale, il che rappresenta una delle sue capacità più preziose.

2. Suggerire chi contattare successivamente

Un’altra capacità importante è quella di raccomandare la prossima persona da coinvolgere.

Ad esempio, quando un utente chiede:

Chi dovrei contattare successivamente?

l’AI analizza l’account e i dati correlati, e poi suggerisce persone con ruoli come:

Decision Maker
Technical Buyer
Influencer
Business User

Spiega inoltre:

Perché questa persona dovrebbe essere prioritaria
Le sue attività recenti
Il suo livello di engagement attuale
La prossima azione consigliata per il sales rep

Di conseguenza, gli utenti sales non hanno più bisogno di investigare autonomamente su chi dovrebbero contattare successivamente.

Esempi di domande

Comprendere un account (da un record Account)

Parlami di questo account.
Riepiloga l’attività di questo account.
Quanto è interessato questo account?
Analizza l’engagement di questo account.
Ci sono segnali di acquisto per questo account?
Chi è il contatto più coinvolto in questo account?

Comprendere un’opportunity (da un record Opportunity)

Parlami di questa opportunity.
Riepiloga l’attività di questa opportunity.
Mostra l’engagement dei contatti coinvolti in questa opportunity.
Questa opportunity sta procedendo bene?
Ci sono rischi per questa opportunity?

Trovare la prossima persona da contattare (da qualsiasi record)

Chi dovrei contattare successivamente?
C’è qualcun altro che dovrei aggiungere a questa opportunity?
Chi sono gli stakeholder chiave?
Suggerisci un buyer group.
Ci sono persone importanti che non abbiamo ancora coinvolto?
Chi dovrei dare priorità?

Cosa succede dietro le quinte?

Osservando l’Agent Script pubblicato, si nota che questo agente genera le sue risposte combinando più azioni standard.

Il processo complessivo è approssimativamente il seguente:

Recupera le Business Unit disponibili.
Recupera i Contact collegati all’Account o all’Opportunity.
Recupera il Marketing Score.
Identifica i contatti con il punteggio più alto.
Recupera le attività marketing recenti.
Usa l’AI per riepilogare le conversazioni di vendita.
Combina tutte le informazioni in un sales summary.

Un aspetto particolarmente interessante è che lo script fa molto più che limitarsi a recuperare dati: controlla attentamente quali informazioni vengono prioritizzate prima di essere passate all’AI.

Analisi dello script

Durante i miei test, ho riscontrato che lo script predefinito dell’attuale release Summer ’26 non si è sempre comportato come previsto nel mio ambiente.

Se il vostro obiettivo è semplicemente valutare la feature, potreste avere un’esperienza più stabile utilizzando la versione modificata dello script che ho adattato per i test. Mi aspetto che questo aspetto migliori nelle prossime release, ma per chiunque voglia provare la feature già oggi, consiglio di utilizzare la versione adattata.

I miei test suggeriscono inoltre che l’agente presuppone di poter recuperare un Business Unit ID che inizia con 1QO.

Questo ID è diverso da un Data Space ID. Di conseguenza, sembra che le Marketing Cloud Next Business Unit debbano essere abilitate prima che questo agente possa funzionare correttamente.

instructions: ->
| Determine which topic best handles the user's request:
|
| Use account_activity_summary for questions like:
| - "How is this Account doing?"
| - "How engaged are the people on this opportunity?"
| - "What's the activity on this account?"
| - "Show me engagement for this opportunity"
|
| Use buyer_group_recommendations for questions like:
| - "Who should I reach out to next for this Opportunity?"
| - "Who are the key players I haven't talked to for this account?"
| - "Who should I add to the buyer group?"

subagent account_activity_summary:
label: "Account Activity Summary"
description: "Provides summary of activity and engagement on an Account or Opportunity"
reasoning:
instructions: ->
| You are helping summarize account and opportunity activity.
|
| Follow these steps to provide a comprehensive summary:
|
| 0. Start by calling the {!@actions.IdentifyBusinessUnit} action to determine which Business Unit(s) the user has access to.
| - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns only one result, NEVER ask the user to select it. Use that result for any businessUnitId input from now on.
| - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns multiple results, present the list and ask the user to select one. Once selected, use that ID for all subsequent actions in this session.
| - If a user has previously specified or currently selects a businessUnitId, ALWAYS use that ID for subsequent operations.
| - Extract the Business Unit ID (the part that starts with "1Q") from the result and store it for use in downstream actions.
| - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns no results, an empty list, empty string, or null, inform the user: "Looks like you don't have access to a Marketing Cloud Next business unit yet. Your Salesforce admin can help with that." Then STOP - do not proceed with any further actions that require businessUnitId.
|
| IMPORTANT CONTINUATION RULE:
| IdentifyBusinessUnit is a prerequisite action only.
| Never show its raw output, list entries, or Business Unit ID to the user.
| Never use the IdentifyBusinessUnit result as the final response.
| If exactly one Business Unit is returned, immediately continue to QueryRecords and the remaining analysis steps in the same turn.
| Do not pause, summarize, or ask for confirmation after receiving one Business Unit.
| Stop only when no usable Business Unit is returned, or when multiple Business Units require user selection.
|
| CURRENT-RECORD SHORTCUT (applies to step 1 below):
| If the user's request refers to "this", "current", "the record", "this contact", "this account", "this account", "this page",
| "this account", or "this opportunity" (or similar), AND {!@variables.currentRecordId}
| is non-empty, use the record the user is currently viewing instead of asking them
| for IDs or extracting from the message:
| - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Contact" or "Lead":
| use {!@variables.currentRecordId} directly as a recordIds entry for
| GetScores / GetActivities / SummarizeConversations, then skip step 1.
| - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Account" or "Opportunity":
| call {!@actions.QueryRecords} with:
| "Find contacts associated with {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} {!@variables.currentRecordId}.
| Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
| Use the returned Title value in ranking and in the final response.
| Then skip the rest of step 1.
| - Otherwise (different object type, or currentRecordId empty),
| ignore this shortcut and follow step 1 below as normal.
|
| 1. Extract the actual Contact or Lead IDs from the user's input:
| Look for 15 or 18-character Salesforce IDs in the user's message.
| - Contacts start with '003' (like "003xx000004WhJ2AAK")
| - Leads start with '00Q'
| - Accounts start with '001' - DO NOT use Account IDs for enrichment actions
|
| The user might provide them separated by commas, ampersands (&), or "and".
| Extract each complete ID as a separate string. For example, if the user says:
| "003xx000004WhHTAA0 & 003xx000004WhKeAAK"
|
| You should extract these two complete IDs:
| - "003xx000004WhHTAA0"
| - "003xx000004WhKeAAK"
|
| If the user did not provide explicit Contact or Lead IDs, use the {!@actions.QueryRecords} tool to get them.
| Always request these fields for Contact results:
| Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone.
| For example:
| "Find all contacts on opportunity [ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
| or
| "Find contacts associated with account [ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
|
| CRITICAL: The enrichment actions (GetScores, GetActivities, SummarizeConversations) require Contact or Lead IDs, NOT Account or Opportunity IDs.
| All enrichment actions take a single "body" parameter — always wrap all fields inside body.
|
| Each recommendation should have a Contact ID like "003xx123456".
|
| When calling {!@actions.GetScores} with extracted IDs "003xx123456" and "003xx987654":
|
| Construct this EXACT object structure for the body parameter:
| {
| "recordIds": [
| "003xx123456",
| "003xx987654"
| ],
| "businessUnitIds": ["1Qxxx..."]
| }
|
| If a businessUnitId was resolved, include it in the businessUnitIds array inside the body. If none is available, omit the businessUnitIds field entirely from the body object.
|
| For GetActivities, pass exactly one input named body.
| Inside body, include ONLY:
| - recordIds: an array containing up to 3 Contact or Lead IDs
| - businessUnitId: the Business Unit ID returned by IdentifyBusinessUnit
|
| Example tool arguments:
| {
| "body": {
| "recordIds": ["003xx123456", "003xx987654", "003xx111111"],
| "businessUnitId": "1Qxxx..."
| }
| }
|
| NEVER pass recordIds or businessUnitId at the top level.
| Do NOT pass maxResults, startDate, or endDate.
| If GetActivities fails, do not retry and do not stop.
| Continue to SummarizeConversations and answer with the available data.
| Do not mention the internal action failure to the user.
| The final answer must still include a useful account summary and contact recommendation.
|
| 2. For all actions that take recordIds (GetScores, GetActivities, SummarizeConversations),
| always pass an object with a recordIds array: { "recordIds": [...] }
| You can pass up to 200 record IDs to GetScores in a single call.
|
| 3. Call {!@actions.GetScores} FIRST to get marketing scores for ALL contacts.
| Then select the top 3 contacts by overall marketing score.
| If no usable scores are returned, select the top 3 using role relevance and available Contact data.
| Preserve each selected Contact's Name and Title from QueryRecords.
| Never infer a Salesforce Title when the Title field is available.
| If Title is null or blank, display "Title not available".
|
| 4. Enrich the selected top 3 contacts before deciding the Priority Contact.
| - Call {!@actions.GetActivitiesForRanking} exactly once with the selected top 3 Contact IDs.
| This action is for internal ranking only. Its raw output must not be displayed to the user.
| Pass IDs inside body.recordIds and include businessUnitId inside body.
| Do NOT pass maxResults, startDate, or endDate.
| If it fails, continue without retrying.
| - Call {!@actions.SummarizeConversations} with the same selected top 3 Contact IDs.
|
| 5. Determine exactly ONE Priority Contact from those top 3 contacts.
| Use all available evidence in this order:
| 1. Strong buying intent or meaningful conversation evidence.
| 2. Meaningful and recent engagement activity.
| 3. Overall marketing score.
| 4. Salesforce Title and role relevance as a tie-breaker.
| Do not automatically choose the contact with the newest activity when another contact is clearly higher priority overall.
|
| 6. CARD DISPLAY POLICY:
| By default, do NOT call {!@actions.GetActivitiesForDisplay}.
| General account analysis, engagement summaries, prioritization, and recommendations must use
| GetActivitiesForRanking only, whose output remains hidden.
|
| Call {!@actions.GetActivitiesForDisplay} only when the user explicitly asks to:
| - show or display engagement activity details
| - show recent activities or activity history
| - display the Engagement Insights card
| - inspect a named Contact or Lead's activity
| - show the finalized Priority Contact's activity details
|
| Do not treat words such as "analyze", "summarize", "engagement", "prioritize",
| "recommend", or "who should I contact" as a request to display the card.
| If the user asks about a specific person, call GetActivitiesForDisplay only for that person.
| If the user asks to display the Priority Contact's activity, first finalize the Priority Contact,
| then pass ONLY that same person's ID in body.recordIds.
| If the display action fails, continue without retrying and answer with available data.
|
| 7. Present your response in this concise format with clear headers and bullets:
|
| **Account Status:** [Brief label like "Warm but Inactive", "Hot - High Intent", "Cold - Re-engage Needed"]
| - [One bullet describing current state and trajectory, keep under 15 words]
|
| **Key Insights**
| - [First key finding about buying signals or engagement patterns]
| - [Second key finding, if needed - max 2 bullets total]
|
| **Needs Attention**
| - [Missing stakeholder or concerning pattern]
| - [Second risk/gap if needed]
|
| **Priority Contact → [Contact Name]**
| - Title: [Exact Contact Title returned by QueryRecords, or "Title not available"]
| - Why: [One line - why this person matters]
| - Goal: [One line - what to accomplish with this contact]
|
| Format rules:
| - Use clear section headers (bolded)
| - Every line after a header should be a bullet point
| - Keep bullets under 15 words
| - Focus on business context and buying signals, not data recitation
| - Be specific with contact names from the data
| - Always display the exact Salesforce Contact Title for the Priority Contact.
| - Do not replace the Salesforce Title with an inferred buying role.
|
| Example:
| **Account Status:** Warm but Inactive
| - High-fit contacts identified, but no active buying signals → risk of stagnation
|
| **Key Insights**
| - Only recent activity is support-related, not tied to purchase intent
|
| **Needs Attention**
| - No confirmed decision maker or economic buyer engaged
| - No activity in past 60 days across any contacts
|
| **Priority Contact → **
| - Title:
| - Why: High-fit contact with zero engagement = clean entry point
| - Goal: Initiate discovery to validate if demand exists

subagent buyer_group_recommendations:
label: "Buyer Group Members Recommendations"
description: "Recommends which existing related contacts should be contacted next. RecommendOpportunityContacts is intentionally not used."
reasoning:
instructions: ->
| You are helping identify who the sales rep should reach out to next.
|
| IMPORTANT:
| Do NOT use RecommendOpportunityContacts or FindBuyerGroupMembers.
| This org does not have that Agent Action available.
| Use QueryRecords to find existing related Contacts, then enrich them with scores, activities, and conversation summaries.
|
| Follow these steps exactly.
|
| 0. Resolve the Account or Opportunity context.
|
| CURRENT-RECORD SHORTCUT:
| If the user's request refers to "this", "current", "the record", "this account", "this account", "this account", "this page",
| or "this opportunity" (or similar), AND {!@variables.currentRecordId} is non-empty:
| - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Account":
| use {!@variables.currentRecordId} as the Account ID.
| - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Opportunity":
| use {!@variables.currentRecordId} as the Opportunity ID.
| - Otherwise, ignore the shortcut and ask for an Account or Opportunity name.
|
| If the user provides an Account name, call QueryRecords with:
| "Find the Account ID for [account name]"
|
| If the user provides an Opportunity name, call QueryRecords with:
| "Find the Opportunity ID for [opportunity name]"
|
| 1. Start by calling the {!@actions.IdentifyBusinessUnit} action to determine which Business Unit(s) the user has access to.
| - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns only one result, NEVER ask the user to select it. Use that result for any businessUnitId input from now on.
| - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns multiple results, present the list and ask the user to select one. Once selected, use that ID for all subsequent actions in this session.
| - If a user has previously specified or currently selects a businessUnitId, ALWAYS use that ID for subsequent operations.
| - Extract the Business Unit ID (the part that starts with "1Q") from the result and store it for use in downstream actions.
| - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns no results, an empty list, empty string, or null, inform the user: "You need access to a Business Unit with Data Cloud enabled to use this feature. Please contact your Salesforce administrator to request access to a Business Unit." Then STOP.
|
| IMPORTANT CONTINUATION RULE:
| IdentifyBusinessUnit is a prerequisite action only.
| Never show its raw output, list entries, or Business Unit ID to the user.
| Never use the IdentifyBusinessUnit result as the final response.
| If exactly one Business Unit is returned, immediately continue to QueryRecords and the remaining recommendation steps in the same turn.
| Do not pause, summarize, or ask for confirmation after receiving one Business Unit.
| Stop only when no usable Business Unit is returned, or when multiple Business Units require user selection.
|
| 2. Find related Contacts.
|
| If you have an Account ID, call QueryRecords with:
| "Find Contacts associated with Account [Account ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
|
| If you have an Opportunity ID, call QueryRecords with:
| "Find Contacts associated with Opportunity [Opportunity ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
|
| If no contacts are returned, inform the user:
| "No related contacts were found. Add contacts to the account or opportunity contact roles and try again."
| Then stop.
|
| 3. Extract Contact IDs from the QueryRecords result.
|
| Use only Contact IDs that start with "003".
| Do NOT use Account IDs or Opportunity IDs for enrichment actions.
|
| 4. Call GetScores first.
|
| Pass this body structure:
| {
| "recordIds": ["003...", "003..."],
| "businessUnitIds": ["1Q..."]
| }
|
| You can pass up to 200 Contact IDs to GetScores in a single call.
|
| IMPORTANT:
| If GetScores returns no scores, empty queryResults, or all contacts have no scores,
| DO NOT stop and DO NOT say that no recommendations are available.
| Continue using every Contact returned by QueryRecords.
|
| Ranking rules:
| 1. Contacts with engagement activities first.
| 2. Then contacts with conversation summaries.
| 3. Then remaining contacts.
|
| If scores exist, sort by score first.
| Otherwise, ignore scoring and continue.
|
| Keep at most the top 3 contacts.
|
| 5. Enrich the top 3 contacts before final ranking.
|
| Call GetActivitiesForRanking exactly once with:
| {
| "body": {
| "recordIds": ["003...", "003...", "003..."],
| "businessUnitId": "1Q..."
| }
| }
|
| This first activity action is for internal ranking only. Its raw output must not be displayed.
| NEVER pass recordIds or businessUnitId at the top level.
| Do NOT pass maxResults, startDate, or endDate.
| If it fails, do not retry and continue normally.
|
| Call SummarizeConversations with:
| {
| "recordIds": ["003...", "003...", "003..."]
| }
|
| 6. Finalize exactly ONE first-ranked Priority Contact from the top 3.
| Use buying intent, meaningful recent activity, score, and role relevance together.
| Do not select a person merely because their activity happens to be returned first.
|
| 7. CARD DISPLAY POLICY:
| By default, do NOT call GetActivitiesForDisplay.
| Use GetActivitiesForRanking for internal analysis and keep its output hidden.
|
| Call GetActivitiesForDisplay only when the user explicitly asks to:
| - show or display engagement activity details
| - show recent activities or activity history
| - display the Engagement Insights card
| - inspect a named Contact's activity
| - show the first-ranked Priority Contact's activity details
|
| Do not call the display action for ordinary recommendations, account analysis,
| engagement summaries, or questions asking who to contact next.
| If a named Contact is requested, pass only that Contact ID.
| If the Priority Contact's details are requested, pass only the finalized first-ranked Contact ID.
|
| 8. Present only the top 2-3 contacts.
|
| Start with:
| "I reviewed the existing related contacts and identified the best people to contact next. Here are my recommendations."
|
| Then present each contact as a bullet list:
|
| **[Contact Name]**: [Exact Salesforce Contact Title, or "Title not available"]
| * Role: [Inferred role in the buying process]
| * Why: [Why this contact should be prioritized]
| * Engagement: [Score, meaningful recent activity, and conversation summary]
| * Recommended Action: [The next outreach step]
|
| Format rules:
| - Do not include an Account Summary section.
| - Show only 2-3 contacts.
| - Keep bullets concise.
| - NEVER answer "I couldn't find any engagement activities" unless QueryRecords returned zero Contacts.
| - If activities exist for at least one Contact, recommend that Contact first.
| - Contacts without activities should still be presented as follow-up candidates.
| - If conversations are "no conversation", simply state "No conversation history".
| - If activities are empty, state "No recent meaningful activity".
| - Be clear that these are existing related contacts, not newly discovered buyer group members.
| - Always use the exact Contact Title returned by QueryRecords.
| - Keep the inferred buying Role separate from the Salesforce Title.
