Before and after

Before

Agentforce should summarize pipeline and recommend next actions.

After

Clean lead source, lifecycle stage, owner, next step, close date, and duplicate account data first, then pilot summaries only on records that pass readiness checks.

  • Separates drafting from review.
  • Works as a source page for internal linking and external reference.
  • Can be reused in recurring workflows.

Before and after examples

Lead source

Before

Values include Web, website, organic, Organic Search, Google, paid-google, and blank.

After

Values map to Organic Search, Paid Search, Direct, Referral, Partner, Event, or Review Needed.

Makes agent attribution and routing less ambiguous.

Lifecycle stage

Before

Stages include MQL, mql, Marketing Qualified, Hot, Working, Active, and blank.

After

Stages map to an approved lifecycle list with unmapped values isolated for admin review.

Prevents inconsistent agent next-step logic.

Owner field

Before

Important accounts are owned by inactive users or blank owners.

After

Inactive and blank owners are flagged, reassignment rules are documented, and agent actions require a current owner.

Keeps automation accountable.

Common failure cases

Attribution driftDifferent source labels make agent recommendations inconsistent.
Stage ambiguityThe agent cannot infer reliable next actions from inconsistent lifecycle values.
No accountable ownerThe agent suggests actions for records no one owns.

FAQ

Why clean CRM fields before Agentforce?

Agentforce can only reason from the fields, knowledge, and permissions it receives. Dirty fields produce unreliable routing, summaries, and recommendations.

Which CRM cleanup examples matter most for Agentforce?

Start with lead source normalization, lifecycle stage mapping, duplicate detection, owner cleanup, required-field completion, and knowledge source review.

Should Agentforce cleanup happen before or after the pilot?

A narrow cleanup should happen before the pilot. The pilot should then reveal additional data gaps to fix before broader rollout.
