How Do You Use MuleSoft with Agentforce?
Connect MuleSoft APIs and event streams to Agentforce so AI agents can see the full customer context, call the right systems in real time, and resolve cases across Salesforce and non-Salesforce apps without human swivel-chair work.
You use MuleSoft with Agentforce by turning your integrations into safe, reusable tools that AI agents can call on demand. First, design MuleSoft APIs and event flows around customer and case intents (orders, devices, billing, entitlements, tickets). Next, expose those APIs and events to Salesforce Data Cloud and Agentforce as functions, actions, and knowledge sources. Finally, configure Agentforce policies so agents only call approved MuleSoft APIs with governed prompts, guardrails, and observability. The result: AI agents that can read, write, and orchestrate across your entire stack, not just Salesforce.
What Changes When You Add MuleSoft to Agentforce?
A Practical Blueprint for MuleSoft + Agentforce
Use this blueprint to turn your MuleSoft integrations into trusted Agentforce tools that drive containment, CSAT, and revenue without losing control of your core systems.
Discover → Design APIs → Wire into Salesforce → Configure Agents → Secure & Observe → Optimize
- Discover high-value intents: Identify the top reasons customers contact you (order status, returns, billing disputes, device issues, entitlement questions) and map which systems and actions each intent requires.
- Design API-led integrations in MuleSoft: Implement System APIs for core platforms, Process APIs that stitch them together around business capabilities, and Experience APIs tuned for Agentforce use (simple payloads, idempotent operations, clear error codes).
- Wire MuleSoft into Salesforce and Data Cloud: Connect MuleSoft to Salesforce orgs, Service Cloud, and Data Cloud so Agentforce can see normalized customer, product, and interaction history in one fabric.
- Expose MuleSoft APIs as Agentforce tools: Register key MuleSoft operations (getOrder, cancelOrder, openTicket, resetPassword, checkEntitlement) as callable tools or actions and describe them in natural language for the agent.
- Secure, govern, and observe usage: Apply rate limits, scopes, masking, and RBAC on the MuleSoft side; log every Agentforce call with correlation IDs, and feed logs into your observability stack for anomaly detection.
- Test, simulate, and optimize: Run sandboxes and dark launches, compare containment and handle time vs. human-only flows, tune prompts and flows, and add new intents as your agents prove value.
MuleSoft + Agentforce Capability Maturity Matrix
| Capability | From (Ad Hoc) | To (Operationalized) | Owner | Primary KPI |
