Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own Salesforce org?
[Confirm]. Agentforce and Data Cloud require specific enablement; a developer org with Agentforce enabled or a ZaranTech training org is used.
Do I need to know Apex?
No. Custom actions are built primarily with Flow and prompt templates. Apex actions are demonstrated with provided code.
How is this different from AI for Sales?
AI for Sales trains sellers to use AI in daily work. This course trains admins, consultants, and developers to configure and build AI inside Salesforce.
Is Data Cloud required?
Module 2 is hands-on where Data Cloud is available in the training org [confirm]; otherwise it is demonstrated. Later modules ground agents with standard CRM data.
Does this prepare me for a Salesforce AI certification?
It covers the platform hands-on, but it is not an official certification prep course and certification is not included.
Will my agent be deployed to a real channel?
You deploy to a channel in the training org, such as an embedded web chat or Slack test channel [confirm]. Production deployment is not part of the course.
What do I keep?
A readiness report, Data Cloud configuration, prompt template, two agents, a test suite, trust configuration, and a rollout plan, plus exportable metadata where the org allows.
Is a corporate version available?
Yes, with agents built on your use cases in a sandbox or training org.
