At Salesforce, we love giving our admin community a closer look at what’s coming next. In this post, our product managers share sneak peeks of upcoming innovations designed to make your work easier, more efficient, and more impactful.

Even if you couldn’t make it to Dreamforce 2025, you can still get a front-row seat to the work that’s shaping what’s next for admins. In the Admin Meadow, Salesforce product managers (PMs) showcased innovations designed to enhance admin workflows, streamline Setup, and bring AI-powered efficiency to everyday tasks.

From Setup powered by Agentforce to Flow AI and DevOps Center, these exciting product updates give you a first look at the features driving admin productivity.

Here, we highlight what the PMs showcased, straight from the teams building these features. Don’t miss these additional Dreamforce ’25 announcements.

Setup powered by Agentforce

Setup with Agentforce helps Salesforce Admins perform common Salesforce setup tasks using simple natural language. The tool leverages metadata intelligence to help admins accomplish key tasks like object creation, flow building, user access troubleshooting, and user management through conversational interactions, while maintaining proper security permissions and audit controls.

Setup with Agentforce acts as a supplement to admin efficiency rather than replacing admins. You can use it to work faster and more effectively, freeing up your time to focus on the most high-value tasks and interactions with stakeholders.

Setup with Agentforce is now in a limited, closed pilot. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon, and learn more about the improvements we’ve made so far and get a preview of the new Setup experience.

Flow testing and debugging

Flow Builder’s troubleshooting, debugging, and testing are being transformed from a fragmented process into a unified, automated experience—empowering admins to build reliable automations with confidence.

With these improvements in mind, here’s a closer look at the features that make these processes faster, easier, and more reliable for admins.

The new Test Mode separates testing from building for a streamlined experience.
Stack Trace shows everything before, during, and after a flow run.
Troubleshooting with AI identifies issues quickly.
Variable Watch tracks how values change from element to element
Saving Scenarios keeps track of high-priority use cases.
Partial Debugging makes it so you don’t have to debug from the top every time.
Mocked Outputs for subflows, invocable actions, callouts, and other elements mean you can test only the desired part of the flow.
Test in isolation ensures you’re testing in a consistent environment and enables deployment of tests from one org to another.
Declarative Test Setup makes setting up test data easy.
Test Coverage helps you gauge whether the flow is ready for deployment.
Create regression tests with AI so you don’t have to figure out what data and expected outcomes are needed for every permutation of the paths you want to test.

These enhancements address critical gaps for admins when building complex business processes. By making it much easier to troubleshoot and fix errors, as well as perform regression testing, admins gain confidence that their flows are doing exactly what they expect. This saves time, reduces frustration, and helps admins focus on creating reliable automations that drive business impact.

Flow AI

Understanding unfamiliar flows (whether it’s been a while, or you inherited an org from someone else) can be a painful process. We’re exploring how AI might be able to help you resolve this issue faster through new documentation generation. The goal is to help admins plan, build, and better understand their flows faster and with confidence.

With Flow AI, admins can:

Generate a flow from scratch with a prompt and an uploaded document to better ground the AI model and increase accuracy.
Ask AI to help make changes to an existing flow, either through a general request or in the context of a specific area of your workflow. Before any changes are committed, users get the opportunity to accept or ignore the proposed changes.
Use AI to get a jumpstart on understanding an unfamiliar flow—generating documentation on the high-level business process that helps you navigate which areas of the flow are doing what.
See how Groups can help keep your flows organized as you build and make modifications. Keep an eye out for Flow Groups coming in an upcoming release!

DevOps Center

The next generation of DevOps Center is a native, in-core Salesforce Platform experience that acts as a central hub for your team’s project planning, collaboration, and release management. It brings all of Salesforce’s Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools together seamlessly, helping teams deliver new business value faster, with fewer errors, and a full audit trail.

The Next Generation of DevOps Center is reimagined to meet the needs of an agentic enterprise, offering several key advantages and a streamlined workflow.

Always on and in-core: It’s now deeply integrated into the Salesforce Platform, eliminating the friction of installation steps and manual upgrades.
Control and extensibility: The new UI is built using the Lightning Design System with SLDS 2, which means you can easily customize the layouts to fit your unique team workflow.
Intelligence: DevOps Center has an API-first approach, so you can use agents to fully operate it right into your process. This includes AI-powered assistance for complex roadblocks like Merge Conflict Resolution and end-to-end DevOps operations using natural language.
Increased performance: Users will experience lightning-fast promotions and overall navigation, significantly speeding up the release pipeline.

The Next Generation of DevOps Center transforms the low-code admin workflow by simplifying collaboration and enforcing essential governance without requiring complex technical skills.

You can collaborate with your programmatic peers from a single source of truth, bridging the gap between low-code and code-driven development teams. With DX Inspector tracking changes automatically in the background, you no longer have to manage updates manually. You can also solve complex deployment roadblocks, like merge conflicts, using natural language.

Prompt Builder

Prompt Builder helps you create, test, and refine AI prompts with confidence, giving admins powerful tools to accelerate AI-driven workflows.

Testing speeds up the deployment of your AI applications and agents by providing built-in unit and batch testing for prompt templates. You can gain the confidence needed to deploy by viewing crucial metrics like latency, token count, and credit estimations, alongside running standard and custom evaluation criteria on the outputs.

Guaranteed quality & trust: Easily verify that a prompt template provides accurate and consistent results before it impacts end-users, reducing deployment risk.
Optimize performance & cost: Access metrics like tokens and latency to build more efficient prompts, directly controlling your organization’s compute costs.
Professional growth: Shift from manual testing to a data-driven, engineering-grade testing framework, elevating your skillset in GenAI lifecycle management.

Assistive Authoring leverages AI to dramatically simplify and accelerate the creation and optimization of your prompt templates. You can start building by choosing from structured template outlines or by simply describing a job to be done and having AI create the fully grounded prompt template for you.

Instant productivity: Easily generate complete, grounded prompts from a simple text description, saving hours of manual drafting.
Best practice enforcement: Leverage AI to suggest optimal structures and phrasing, ensuring your prompts are clear, concise, and highly effective.
Career impact: Quickly master the art of prompt engineering and scale your ability to deliver new AI solutions without specialized training.

Expressions unlock more advanced, deterministic logic directly within your prompt templates, eliminating the need for complex, separate flows to handle simple conditional logic. You can now author conditional expressions with logical operators to selectively execute specific prompt statements based on your data.

Simplified workflows: Display a different message in your email outreach based on the recipient’s loyalty status, or adjust a summary based on case priority, all within the prompt itself.
Reduced technical debt: Keep simple logic out of Flow Builder, making your AI workflows cleaner, easier to maintain, and faster to troubleshoot.
Increased control: Gain granular, deterministic control over the prompt’s output, ensuring the AI only executes the relevant instructions for the current data context.

Custom Structured Outputs solve the challenge of generating precisely formatted JSON responses needed for more complex workflows by allowing you to define the exact data structure (schema) you require from the LLM. You simply select or create a Lightning Type, and its schema will guide the LLM in generating the prescribed format with high reliability.

Reliable outputs: Guarantee that responses are reliably stored in a clean and consistent JSON format, ready for downstream processing (e.g. filling a form).
Seamless integration: Use existing Lightning Types to define your schema, instantly integrating the AI output with your existing platform data model.
Reduced parsing errors: Eliminate the guesswork and custom code needed to handle inconsistent LLM responses, making AI output a predictable, trustworthy data input.
