Note
Note Starting the week of July 13, 2026, you can no longer create agents in the legacy Agentforce Builder in Setup. Instead, create an agent in Agentforce Builder in Agentforce Studio. Or upgrade an agent from the legacy builder to the new builder. For the latest features and enhancements, we recommend migrating existing agents from the legacy builder to the new builder. Learn more.

Before you begin, make sure that Einstein Generative AI was set up and that Agentforce is enabled.

The following instructions are relevant for agents created in the new Agentforce Builder. For instructions for the legacy Agentforce builder, see the platform documentation.

Create an Agent from an Employee Agent Template

  1. From the App Launcher, enter Agent, and then select the Agentforce Studio app.
  2. On the Agents tab, click New Agent.
  3. Select the Field Service Dispatching agent template.
  4. Enter the agent’s name and then click Let’s Go.
  5. Review your agent in Agentforce Builder.
    1. In the Settings section, define the settings that determine how your agent behaves in conversations, such as system messages and language settings.
    2. In the Subagents section, manage and customize your agent’s subagents and actions.
    3. In the Data section, select a data library. The Answer Questions with Knowledge action grounds your agent’s responses with it. To create or manage data libraries, see Setting Up Data Libraries.
  6. Test your agent and confirm that it performs as expected and meets your security standards on the Preview tab. For more details about testing, see Preview and Test in Agentforce Builder.
  7. You can also connect your agent to Enhanced Web Chat v1, Enhanced Chat v2, or Slack.
  8. When you’re ready, commit and activate your agent.
  9. Instruct your dispatchers to ask Agentforce to create a scheduling summary and create filters based on the categories given in the summary. Agentforce can also create filters based on other search criteria.
