Customer service teams face mounting pressure to deliver fast, context-rich, and personalised support. The Salesforce Spring ’25 Service Cloud release brings transformative updates that not only enhance agent efficiency but also empower organisations to deliver a superior customer experience.
From advanced messaging capabilities and AI-driven case resolution to expanded self-service options and deep operational insights, these new features address common pain points—from slow support and communication barriers to inefficiencies in case handling and routing. Here’s an in-depth look at the new and updated features designed to help decision makers, customer service leaders, and field personnel optimise their support processes.
Accelerate Resolution with Context-Aware Messaging
Salesforce Spring ’25 enhances Agentforce Service Agent by introducing real-time, credential-based user verification for Messaging on Experience Sites. This new approach replaces the older token-based system, allowing agents to take actions directly within the user’s context—for example, performing order lookups or cancellations—which significantly speeds up case resolutions and reduces friction.
In addition, messaging capabilities now support rich text formatting, enabling agents to send hyperlinks, bulleted and numbered lists, and varied heading sizes. This upgrade ensures that communication is clear, engaging, and tailored to the customer’s needs, ultimately leading to a more efficient and satisfying support experience.
Expand Global Reach with Multi-Lingual Support and Enhanced Oversight
In addition to context-aware messaging, Salesforce Spring ’25 vastly improves global support capabilities. Agentforce Service Agent is now available in English, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish in certain locales, with an extra 11 languages offered in beta. This expanded language support allows organisations to communicate naturally and effectively with a global customer base.
Beyond language capabilities, the platform introduces customisable progress indicators that inform users about AI activities behind the scenes. Supervisors now benefit from real-time conversation monitoring through Omni Supervisor and can use the Raise Flag action to quickly identify and address conversations that require human intervention. Additionally, rebranding the service as ASA Messaging in Digital Wallet provides detailed usage tracking and trend analysis, and context-driven search now pulls answers directly from the knowledge base for faster, more accurate results.
Accelerate Case Resolution with AI-Driven Guidance
The new Agentforce Service Planner alleviates the burden on service reps who previously had to manually sift through policies, case histories, and Knowledge Articles. Now integrated directly into the Case record page as a Lightning web component, Service Planner uses generative AI to automatically summarise case details and suggest step-by-step resolution guidance based on your company’s own data and guidelines. This means that as soon as a case is opened, the system presents reps with a clear summary and suggested actions, eliminating the need for time-consuming research. When service reps click on the “Draft Plan” button, they receive tailored suggestions that streamline the workflow, allowing them to resolve issues faster and more confidently while ensuring adherence to internal policies.
Extract Deep Service Insights from Customer Conversations
Einstein Conversation Mining is transforming how organisations leverage their customer interaction data. Previously limited to English, the tool now supports French, German, Italian, and Spanish across all channels, broadening its usability in global environments. In addition, the new release now mines insights from voice conversations—a key channel for many service centres. By generating detailed reports, this feature helps teams identify frequent cases, common inquiries, and potential automation opportunities, so that businesses can continuously refine their service processes and proactively address recurring issues.
Personalise Email and Chat Responses with Smart AI Recommendations
Salesforce has enhanced its Einstein Reply Recommendations to provide more flexibility and personalisation in both email and chat communications. For email, support teams can now customise responses using the Einstein Service Replies for Email prompt template in Prompt Builder. This feature pulls in relevant knowledge articles and case details to generate informative, case-specific emails, ensuring that every customer interaction is on point. For chat, agents can now set a new default state to choose whether to display AI-generated replies immediately or pause them until they manually resume the conversation. With recommendations refreshing every time a customer sends a new message, agents can be confident that the conversation remains timely and contextually accurate.
Transform Employee and Alumni Service for Better Engagement
Employee Service has received a major facelift aimed at simplifying internal communications and enhancing service delivery. The Alumni Portal now provides a one-stop resource where alumni can access knowledge articles, submit service requests, network, and even manage their profiles. At the same time, the Employee Hub has been rebranded as Employee Portal and the HR Service Workspace is now known as HR Service Console—names that more clearly reflect their purposes.
These changes come with additional enhancements: a preconfigured Timeline component allows service representatives to view historical events in a chronological order for personalised service; Navigation Tiles offer a visually engaging way to access common actions; and the Employee Enablement Program streamlines onboarding, promotions, and other life events through structured enablement programs. New case management capabilities, including the ability to add comments via a Case Management Bot, improved approval tracking, and automated feedback surveys when cases close, ensure that internal support processes become more efficient and transparent.
Gain Strategic Operational Insights to Reduce Costs
The Service Insights feature is now more powerful than ever, offering a comprehensive view of your service team’s performance. Decision makers can monitor case trends, analyse agent behaviours, and review customer satisfaction scores through dynamic dashboards. Detailed Case dashboards provide insights into caseloads and resolution times, while CSAT dashboards allow you to drill down into customer feedback. Additionally, specialised Agentforce dashboards demonstrate how AI agents are helping customers, ensuring that both operational efficiency and customer experience are continuously optimised.
Enhance Email Communications and Omni-Channel Routing Precision
Email remains a critical touchpoint in customer support, and Salesforce has made significant updates to optimise this channel. With Draft with Einstein, service reps now enjoy improved flexibility to refine automated emails—editing tone, length, and content with free-form instructions before sending. The Omni-Channel flow for Email-to-Case is now invoked synchronously, meaning that routing decisions are made as soon as records are committed, enhancing precision.
Furthermore, a key update disables the older Ref ID threading method in favour of Lightning threading that uses secure tokens and metadata for matching incoming emails. The new Lightning Editor for Email-to-Case, now generally available in Lightning Experience since Spring ’24, introduces modern features such as full-screen mode, printing, undo/redo functions, format painting, an emoji picker, and a more responsive toolbar—all while providing a cleaner visual interface without extraneous formatting controls.
Empower Customers to Self-Resolve with Intelligent Search
The new Self-Service enhancements empower customers to help themselves faster and more effectively. By passing the real-time search context from site visitors to Agentforce Service Agent, the system automatically suggests answers drawn from your knowledge base. This context-driven approach means that users in critical situations receive immediate, accurate responses to their queries without needing to wait for human intervention. Administrators can activate this feature directly from the Experience Workspaces under the AI Experiences tile, ensuring that customers receive a seamless and efficient self-service experience.
Streamline Workflows with Smart Routing and Workforce Management
Routing improvements in Spring ’25 address the challenge of reassigning work items efficiently. With Omni-Channel Unified Routing, reps can now reassign work—not just voice calls or messaging sessions—to different queues, service reps, skills, or flows without having to manually change the Owner field. Once reassigned, these work items are prioritised as if they had been in the queue from the start, reducing wait times and improving service level agreements.
In addition, supervisors can now chat with Agentforce (Default) using both desktop and mobile apps to manage Omni-Channel user configurations—adding or removing queues and skills with ease. Notably, the new Status-Based Capacity feature for Voice (currently in beta) lets managers allocate rep capacity based on the status of accepted work, bringing voice calls into line with other channels on Lightning apps that use standard navigation.
Deliver Tailored Customer Experiences with Unified Data Intelligence
Customer Experience Intelligence unifies customer data across channels to create a holistic profile that enables personalised interactions. This feature extracts product insights by identifying key mentions and sentiments from customer interactions, including email feedback and voice data. By setting a minimum key phrase length, teams can focus on the most relevant details, improving data quality and decision making. Furthermore, dedicated analytics dashboards allow organisations to track trends in Net Promoter Score (NPS), CSAT, and sentiment over time, as well as create multiple cases directly from the analytics interface. With actions like Find Similar Interactions, Summarise Product Reviews, and Enhance Product Descriptions, businesses are empowered to refine product offerings and boost overall customer satisfaction.
Explore Your Roadmap to Service Excellence with My Service Journey (Generally Available)
To help organisations transition from good to great in their Service Cloud implementations, Salesforce now offers My Service Journey—a comprehensive roadmap available in Lightning Experience across Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions. This tool provides a prescriptive journey map covering foundation, optimisation, and elevation phases, allowing service leaders to track the status of various capabilities as they are implemented. With support in 16 fully localised languages and the ability to add the journey map as a console app navigation tab, decision makers and service teams have a quick and interactive way to explore the full breadth of Service Cloud capabilities. The journey map also features a “Contact Us” option for any questions, making it an essential resource for ongoing service innovation.
