Learning Salesforce Einstein

Role of AI in CRM and Cloud Applications

The power of the Salesforce platform is its ability to build applications declaratively using clicks and not code. The Salesforce App Cloud platform provides workflows, process builders, analytics, and many more declarative tools for admins to build applications, and Salesforce Einstein embeds an AI seamlessly across various cloud offerings of platforms such as sales, service, marketing, community, analytics, commerce, App Cloud, and IOT Cloud. This chapter shows how administrators can declaratively add the power of AI into applications without the need for data scientists. Traditionally, for most companies, bringing AI to the business process was too hard. It's complex and requires infrastructure and skills that most companies don't have. Einstein simplifies all those complexities.

The aim of this chapter is to take some examples...

Sales Cloud Einstein offerings

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is meant to increase its relationship with customers assisting in customer retention and driving sales. The Salesforce Sales Cloud comes with an extensive set of functionality and automation to help sales representatives focus on closing more deals.

With AI baked into the sales cloud, sales representatives can focus on the right opportunity. We will see some of the latest declarative features offered by the platform to increase the representative productivity.

The prediction algorithms themselves learn from the CRM activities and other data. The following are some of the features we will briefly touch upon and see how they can increase the representative productivity:

  • Automated Activity Capture
  • Lead Insights
  • Opportunity Insights
  • Account Insights
Before enabling Sales Cloud Einstein, Salesforce provides...

Community Cloud Einstein features

Setting up a customer or partner community for your organization opens a whole new world of collaboration, connecting partners, and customers with your employees. Collaboration can accelerate sales and enable you to provide stellar service to your customers.

Community Cloud provides a drag and drop builder known as Community Builder to build pages and host a portal to allow partners, employees, and customers to collaborate. If you are not familiar with communities, you can imagine them as a social collaboration platform for enterprise, where your customers can monitor cases, find FAQ answers for self-troubleshooting issues, contact support, live chat with the support representative, and so on.

Einstein on Community Cloud adds the power of AI to bring up personalized feeds on Chatter, show unanswered questions, and recommend articles, experts,...

Marketing Cloud Einstein features

The Marketing cloud from Salesforce offers a suite of products for marketers to establish a one-to-one journey with their customers. The product consists of the following applications:

  • Email Studio: This offers marketers the ability to send emails with personalized and dynamic content from Salesforce sales, service, or any other data source
  • Social Studio: This offers marketers the ability to publish, engage, and analyze sentiments of customers from various social channels
  • Mobile Studio: This offers marketers the ability to send SMS, MMS, and personalized push messages
  • Advertising Studio: This manages ads and campaigns
  • Web Studio: This creates websites and landing pages and tracks actions taken by customers

In the past, marketers had to assign values to their customers. Let's say a marketer wanted to identify customers who were likely to...

Summary

This chapter showed declarative features added across various cloud offerings, such as sales, service, and Marketing Cloud. As one can infer from this chapter, adding AI to the platform will enable applications to get smarter, which in turn will help sales representatives, marketers, and support representatives serve and engage customers better. In the next chapter, you will learn how to use code and the capabilities of PredicitonIO and Salesforce Heroku to build machine learning tasks.
