Agentforce Specialist
The Salesforce Certified Agentforce Specialist credential validates your ability to configure, deploy, and manage AI agents on the Salesforce platform. It covers the Agent Builder, Prompt Builder, Data Cloud grounding, and the development lifecycle. If you work with Employee, Service, or Sales agents and want to prove you know the platform inside and out, this cert is for you. Platform Administrator or Platform App Builder experience helps but is not required.
