How does Agentforce predict outcomes in Service Cloud?

Businesses today want to stay ahead. They need smart tools to help predict problems before they happen. That is where Agentforce, powered by Einstein Prediction Builder, comes in. This tool uses past data to predict future outcomes, making customer service more proactive and efficient.

What is Einstein Prediction Builder?

Einstein Prediction Builder is a simple tool in Salesforce. It helps businesses create custom prediction models without needing to code. It looks at past data to guess what might happen next.

For example:

In sales, it predicts which leads are most likely to convert.
In service, it predicts which cases are likely to escalate.
In marketing, it predicts which customers may unsubscribe.

For this post, we will focus on how Agentforce works in Service Cloud.

Setting Up Predictions for Service Cases

To start using predictions, follow these steps:

Turn On Einstein Prediction Builder
- Go to Setup in Salesforce and search for Einstein Prediction Builder.
- Click Get Started and turn it on.
Create a New Prediction
- Click New Prediction and name it something like Case Escalation Prediction.
- Choose the type of prediction: Yes/No (Will the case escalate or not?).
Choose the Data to Use
- Select Cases as the object.
- Decide if you want to look at all cases or a specific group.
Define Example Cases
- Show the system examples of past cases that escalated and those that did not.
- This helps the system learn what factors lead to escalation.
Select Important Fields
- Choose key information like case type, priority, and description.
- Remove fields that do not help or that create bias.
Let the System Build the Model
- Click Build and wait for the prediction model to be created.
- This can take between 30 minutes to 24 hours, depending on the data.

How Predictions Help Customer Service

Once the model is ready, it gives each case a score (out of 100). The higher the score, the more likely the case will escalate.

What can businesses do with this score?

Create alerts for high-risk cases.
Automate workflows to handle escalations faster.
Use Agentforce to pull reports and get insights.

“With Agentforce, service teams can see which cases are at risk before they escalate, allowing them to take action early.” — Matthew Gardner, SOLVD Consultant

Testimonials

Our clients say

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!

SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.

Matt Benzaquen Sr Manager, Sales Strategy at Instabug

As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
