Why Use Salesforce Prompt Builder?
Salesforce Prompt Builder allows you to:
- Leverage Salesforce Data: Personalize AI prompts by pulling real-time data from Salesforce objects like Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities.

- Streamline Automation: Integrate prompts into workflows, saving time and boosting productivity.
Step 1: Access Salesforce Prompt Builder
To get started:
- Log in to Salesforce: Navigate to the Salesforce dashboard.
- Go to Setup: In the search bar, type “Prompt Builder” and select it from the options.
- Enable the Tool (if required): Ensure that Prompt Builder is enabled for your org by checking permissions under Setup > Permissions Sets.
Step 2: Define the Use Case
Before creating a prompt, clarify its purpose.
- Are you designing a sales assistant prompt to recommend products?
- Do you need customer support prompts for faster query resolution?
- Or are you enabling marketing teams with AI-generated email suggestions?
Having a clear objective will guide the structure of your prompt.
Step 3: Create a New Prompt
- Click “New Prompt”: In the Prompt Builder interface, select “New Prompt.”
- Select a Template: Use a predefined template or start from scratch. For example, templates for lead follow-ups or customer onboarding are readily available.
- Add Context: Define the scenario your prompt will address.
Example: “Recommend the best product for a contact based on their purchase history and recent interactions.”
Step 4: Insert Dynamic Variables
- Dynamic variables make your prompts personalized and context-aware
- Use placeholders like {Contact.FirstName} or {Opportunity.Amount} to pull data directly from Salesforce records.
Example Prompt: “Hi {Contact.FirstName}, based on your recent purchase of {Opportunity.Product}, we think you’ll love our new {Product.Name}!”
Step 5: Configure AI Behavior
Set parameters to fine-tune the AI’s responses:
- Tone: Choose between professional, conversational, or creative styles.
- Response Length: Limit how detailed the AI response should be.
- Intent: Specify whether the AI should summarize, recommend, or elaborate.
Step 6: Test Your Prompt
Salesforce Prompt Builder provides a testing interface where you can see how the AI responds to your prompt.
- Preview Outputs: Use sample Salesforce records to verify the accuracy and tone of responses.
- Iterate: Refine the wording, variables, or context to improve outputs.
Step 7: Deploy the Prompt
Once satisfied with the prompt:
- Save and assign it to relevant teams or workflows.
- Integrate it into flows, automations, or Lightning components.
- Monitor performance and collect user feedback to ensure ongoing improvements.
Example Use Case: Sales Follow-Up Prompt
- Scenario: A sales rep needs to follow up with a lead after a product demo.
- Prompt:
“Hi {Lead.FirstName}, it was great discussing {Opportunity.Product} during our demo. Do you have any questions, or would you like to explore the next steps? Let us know how we can help!”
AI Output: A conversational response tailored to the lead’s recent interaction.
