How to Prepare
The questions on this page lean towards Agentforce and AI, Flows and Automation and Integration. Spend most of your revision time there, then cover the remaining topics lightly.
- Read the current Agentforce documentation and be ready to explain topics, actions and the trust layer in plain words.
- Be ready to compare a Flow and an Apex solution for the same requirement and justify your choice.
- Know one integration end to end: authentication, callout, error handling and testing with a mock.
- Say your answers out loud. Interviewers listen for clear, structured explanations, not memorised definitions.
- Prepare one or two real examples from your own projects for the general questions.
