Agentforce IT Service supports two types of knowledge that you can use independently or
together to build a comprehensive knowledge base for your IT service desk. Use native
Salesforce Knowledge to manage articles directly in Salesforce, or use Enterprise Knowledge,
powered by Data 360, to integrate external content from sources like SharePoint or Confluence
into the same knowledge base.
Native Salesforce Knowledge
Native Salesforce Knowledge articles are authored and managed directly in Salesforce. IT
support reps can search for these articles and link them to Incident, Problem, and Change
records to capture solutions, workarounds, and known errors.
Note Agentforce IT Service orgs only support Lightning Knowledge.
Enterprise Knowledge, powered by Data 360, ingests content from external sources such as
SharePoint, Confluence, and Google Drive, and harmonizes it into the same knowledge
experience as native Salesforce Knowledge. IT support reps can find, link, and view
suggested external articles on Incident records without switching context.
Enterprise Knowledge for IT Services Set up Enterprise Knowledge for Agentforce IT Service, then use the Enterprise Knowledge component on incident records to search and attach articles from Salesforce Knowledge and external sources unified through Data 360.
