Integrate Agentforce APIs for embedded support in third-party apps

Real World Scenario

A fintech mobile app wants in-app support chat powered by Agentforce without redirecting users to Salesforce-hosted pages.

Expected Answer

• Embed Messaging for In-App/Web SDK with custom branding and pre-chat data passing • Pass authenticated user context via JWT or signed identity tokens • Configure agent topics and actions scoped to fintech use cases—not full CRM access • Handle SDK lifecycle: foreground/background, push notifications for async replies • Compliance: transcript storage, data residency, and financial disclaimer flows • Fallback to web view or phone support when SDK or Agentforce unavailable • Analytics correlating in-app support sessions with app retention metrics

Main difference: use case and scale. Embed Messaging for In-App/Web SDK with custom branding and pre-chat data passing. Pass authenticated user context via JWT or signed identity tokens. Pick based on your integration pattern and team capability. Embedded agents inherit app trust—users perceive responses as from the fintech brand, not Salesforce. Optimize for scale and operational observability.

Architect Perspective

Embedded agents inherit app trust—users perceive responses as from the fintech brand, not Salesforce. UX and compliance must match app standards.
