How Will Open Ecosystems (AgentExchange) Extend Marketing Cloud Next?
AgentExchange unlocks a composable, partner-friendly layer for Marketing Cloud Next—so autonomous agents, data products, and apps can work across Salesforce Data Cloud, channels, and third-party tools with governance. Here’s how to turn it into scalable value.
AgentExchange extends Marketing Cloud Next by creating an open ecosystem where domain agents (e.g., segmentation, journey design, offer decisioning, personalization, and QA) safely connect to Data Cloud, sales/service apps, ad platforms, and analytics. Brands can compose new use cases faster—bring-your-own model, marketplace connectors, and governed workflows—while preserving consent, lineage, and auditability. The outcome: shorter time-to-value, higher message relevance, and measurable pipeline and revenue lift.

The AgentExchange Playbook for Revenue Teams
Use this sequence to launch governed agents that increase conversion and accelerate build cycles while staying aligned to Salesforce guardrails.
Discover → Design → Connect → Govern → Launch → Learn
- Discover high-impact moments: Identify “needle-mover” plays (re-activation, upsell, onboarding) and define the success metrics and SLAs.
- Design with patterns: Choose agent roles—Audience Builder, Offer Picker, Content Studio, QA/Brand Safety, Experiment Manager.
- Connect to Data Cloud: Map policies/consent, events, segments, identities; register inputs/outputs for each agent.
- Govern operations: Set scopes, rate limits, human-in-the-loop reviews, and audit trails; enforce safe prompts and red-team tests.
- Launch incrementally: Start with a single channel, then fan out to email, ads, site/mobile, and service follow-ups.
- Learn & optimize: Use standardized experimentation, holdouts, and causal KPIs (revenue, pipeline, LTV) over pure clicks.
