#SalesforceSummer25 – Access External Data in Prompt Builder with External Objects

#1MinuteTip #SalesforceSummer25 Now you can augment Agentforce workflows with external data. When you create a prompt template, select an external object and then access that object’s fields just as you would with a custom or standard object.

A common use case is when you have order and fulfillment data stored in an external system and you want to create a Salesforce agent that looks up the status of an order.

This is incredibly useful for leveraging real-time external data in generative AI workflows without duplicating data into Salesforce.
