On June 7-8, I attended the Connection Salesforce event for marketing and commerce professionals. Focusing on how to create meaningful customer moments, this event is attended by over 10,000 industry leaders with over 250 engaging sessions. 

 

This year’s Salesforce Connections event was all about building powerful, lasting customer connections with meaningful interactions — or as they like to call it, creating customer magic. 

 

AI + Data + CRM = Customer Magic

 

 

 

 

 

It is the first GPT-powered marketing platform built on the world’s most trusted CRM. 

Salesforce is reimaging Marketing Cloud with generative AI capabilities that will transform the way we interact with our marketing systems, and allow us to: 

 

• Fuel creativity with data-driven answers. You will be able to use their trusted customer data to inform things like campaign strategy, audiences, and content. 

• Unlock efficiency with GPT-enabled campaigns, saving you countless hours on every step of the campaign lifecycle, and

• Redefine the limits of personalization at scale with the combination of GPT content creation and predictive AI recommendations. 

 

During the keynote at Connection 2023, I saw a demo of Einstein GPT-autogenerated text replies. It looks impressive. 
 

 

• Segment Creation will pilot this July! This will help you build Data Cloud segments fast with GPT-powered filter recommendations based on trusted customer data. 

 

 

 

 

 

• Email Content Creation will be piloted this October and allow you to ask Einstein GPT to create personalized email subject lines and body copy variants to choose from or improve upon. 

 

 

 

 

• Image Creation Create and access contextual visual assets for multi-channel campaigns powered by generative AI with Marketing GPT and Typeface.

 

 

 

 

 

Every company needs to transform now to go from manual – to generative.  Similar to the age of computing, I think that AI is here to help us realize our full potential. The most valuable asset is time, and technology like GPT can help us to be more efficient. 

 

 

 

2. Whatsapp 

 

 

 

 

Connect with customers directly through WhatsApp to send rich promotional messages based on a customer’s unique interests and needs. Salesforce offers an enriched end-to-end experience that facilitates easy and scalable business processes. 
 

The sessions “WhatsApp, Salesforce and the Next Era of Customer Engagement” showed examples of how Salesforce and WhatsApp partner to help us become more successful through business messaging at scale. One of these examples was: 
 

“Lauren, receives a message on a preferred channel- Whatsapp– with a promotional message, because the message is relevant and timely Lauren is engaged.  
 

She loves the idea of getting new hiking boots, especially at a discount, and especially because she is going on a vacation in a few days to Colorado.  
 

But are these shoes going to arrive in time? So, Lauren clicks on the “Learn More” button, and she is greeted by NDO’s friendly bot Nitro.  
 

Nitro welcomes Lauren by name and gives her a few common options. Nitro was able to use Customer 360 and all the data in Salesforce gets Lauren’s location and information from her unified profile and gives us some order shipping options. The shoes are going to arrive in time”.
