【第544回】 Marketing Cloud Next : Account Discovery エージェント

Marketing Cloud Next Growth & Advanced Editions の Summer '26 新機能リリース では、新しい Agentforce テンプレートとして Account Discovery エージェント(Employee エージェントベース)が追加されました。

名前だけを見ると「取引先情報を検索するエージェント」のように思えますが、実際にはそれ以上の役割を担っています。

このエージェントは、Marketing Cloud Next に蓄積されたマーケティングデータや営業活動の情報を横断的に分析し、営業担当者が次に取るべきアクションを提案する AI エージェントです。

営業担当者は自然言語で質問するだけで、AI が関連するデータを収集・分析し、重要なポイントを分かりやすく要約して回答します。


どのようなエージェントなのか?

営業担当者は日々、多くの取引先や商談を担当しています。

例えば、

  • この取引先は最近どの程度興味を示しているのか

  • メールへ反応しているのか

  • Web サイトを閲覧しているのか

  • 次に誰へアプローチすべきなのか

といった情報を確認するには、通常であれば複数の画面を確認しながら判断する必要があります。

Account Discovery エージェントは、この情報収集と分析を AI が代行し、営業担当者へ分かりやすく要約して提示してくれます。


主な役割は 2 つ

① 取引先や商談の状況を要約する

営業担当者が、

この取引先の状況を教えて

あるいは

この商談の状況を教えて

と質問すると、エージェントは対象の取引先や商談に関連する情報を収集します。

収集対象には次のような情報が含まれます。

  • Marketing Score

  • マーケティングエンゲージメント

  • 最近の活動履歴

  • AI による営業会話の要約

  • Buying Intent(購買意欲)

これらの情報を AI が総合的に分析し、

  • Account Status

  • Key Insights

  • Needs Attention

  • Priority Contact

という営業担当者が理解しやすい形式で回答します。

単なるデータ一覧ではなく、「現在どのような状況なのか」を AI が要約してくれる点が、このエージェントの大きな特徴です。


② 次にアプローチすべき担当者を提案する

もう一つの大きな機能が、「次に誰へアプローチすべきか」の提案です。

例えば、

次に誰へ連絡すべきですか?

と質問すると、AI は取引先や関連データを分析し、

  • Decision Maker(意思決定者)

  • Technical Buyer(技術評価者)

  • Influencer(意思決定に影響を与える人物)

  • Business User(業務利用者)

などの役割を持つ人物を推薦します。

さらに、

  • なぜその人物を優先すべきなのか

  • 最近どのような活動をしているのか

  • 現在のエンゲージメント状況

  • 営業担当者が次に取るべきアクション

まで含めて提示してくれます。

営業担当者は、誰へ連絡すべきかを自ら調査する必要がなくなります。


質問例

取引先の状況を知りたい(取引先ページで)

  • この取引先の状況を教えて

  • この取引先の活動を要約して

  • この取引先はどれくらい興味を示していますか?

  • この取引先のエンゲージメントを分析して

  • この取引先に購入の兆候はありますか?

  • この取引先で最も関心の高い担当者は誰ですか?


商談の状況を知りたい(商談ページで)

  • この商談の状況を教えて

  • この商談の活動を要約して

  • この商談に関わる担当者のエンゲージメントを見せて

  • この商談は順調ですか?

  • この商談のリスクはありますか?


次に誰へ連絡すべきか知りたい(各ページで)

  • 次に誰へ連絡すべきですか?

  • この商談で追加した方がよい担当者はいますか?

  • キーパーソンを教えてください

  • バイヤーグループの候補を教えて

  • まだ接触していない重要人物はいますか?

  • 誰を優先してアプローチすべきですか?


内部では何をしているのか?

公開されている Agent Script を確認すると、このエージェントは複数の標準アクションを組み合わせて回答を生成していることが分かります。

大まかな処理の流れは次のとおりです。

  • 利用可能なビジネスユニットを取得

  • Account または Opportunity に関連する Contact を取得

  • Marketing Score を取得

  • スコアの高いコンタクトを抽出

  • 最近のマーケティング活動を取得

  • 営業との会話を AI が要約

  • すべての情報を統合し、営業向けサマリーを生成

興味深いのは、単にデータを取得するだけではなく、「どの情報を優先して AI に渡すか」が細かく設計されている点です。


スクリプトを分析すると

現時点(Summer '26)のデフォルトスクリプトは、私の検証環境では期待どおりに動作しないケースがありました。

そのため、動作確認を目的とするのであれば、私が検証用に調整したスクリプトを利用した方が安定して動作する可能性があります。今後のリリースで改善されることを期待していますが、まず機能を試してみたい方にはこちらをおすすめします。

また、検証の結果、1QO で始まる ビジネスユニット ID を取得できることが前提になっているようでした。

この ID は データスペース ID とは別の ID です。そのため、Marketing Cloud Next の ビジネスユニットが有効化されていること が、このエージェントを利用するための前提条件になっている可能性があります。

subagent account_activity_summary:
    label: "Account Activity Summary"
    description: "Provides summary of activity and engagement on an Account or Opportunity"
    reasoning:
        instructions: ->
            | You are helping summarize account and opportunity activity.
            |
            | Follow these steps to provide a comprehensive summary:
            |
            | 0. Start by calling the {!@actions.IdentifyBusinessUnit} action to determine which Business Unit(s) the user has access to.
            | - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns only one result, NEVER ask the user to select it. Use that result for any businessUnitId input from now on.
            | - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns multiple results, present the list and ask the user to select one. Once selected, use that ID for all subsequent actions in this session.
            | - If a user has previously specified or currently selects a businessUnitId, ALWAYS use that ID for subsequent operations.
            | - Extract the Business Unit ID (the part that starts with "1Q") from the result and store it for use in downstream actions.
            | - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns no results, an empty list, empty string, or null, inform the user: "Looks like you don't have access to a Marketing Cloud Next business unit yet. Your Salesforce admin can help with that." Then STOP - do not proceed with any further actions that require businessUnitId.
            |
            | IMPORTANT CONTINUATION RULE:
            | IdentifyBusinessUnit is a prerequisite action only.
            | Never show its raw output, list entries, or Business Unit ID to the user.
            | Never use the IdentifyBusinessUnit result as the final response.
            | If exactly one Business Unit is returned, immediately continue to QueryRecords and the remaining analysis steps in the same turn.
            | Do not pause, summarize, or ask for confirmation after receiving one Business Unit.
            | Stop only when no usable Business Unit is returned, or when multiple Business Units require user selection.
            |
            | CURRENT-RECORD SHORTCUT (applies to step 1 below):
            | If the user's request refers to "this", "current", "the record", "this contact", "this account", "this account", "this page",
            | "this account", or "this opportunity" (or similar), AND {!@variables.currentRecordId}
            | is non-empty, use the record the user is currently viewing instead of asking them
            | for IDs or extracting from the message:
            | - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Contact" or "Lead":
            | use {!@variables.currentRecordId} directly as a recordIds entry for
            | GetScores / GetActivities / SummarizeConversations, then skip step 1.
            | - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Account" or "Opportunity":
            | call {!@actions.QueryRecords} with:
            | "Find contacts associated with {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} {!@variables.currentRecordId}.
            | Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
            | Use the returned Title value in ranking and in the final response.
            | Then skip the rest of step 1.
            | - Otherwise (different object type, or currentRecordId empty),
            | ignore this shortcut and follow step 1 below as normal.
            |
            | 1. Extract the actual Contact or Lead IDs from the user's input:
            | Look for 15 or 18-character Salesforce IDs in the user's message.
            | - Contacts start with '003' (like "003xx000004WhJ2AAK")
            | - Leads start with '00Q'
            | - Accounts start with '001' - DO NOT use Account IDs for enrichment actions
            |
            | The user might provide them separated by commas, ampersands (&), or "and".
            | Extract each complete ID as a separate string. For example, if the user says:
            | "003xx000004WhHTAA0 & 003xx000004WhKeAAK"
            |
            | You should extract these two complete IDs:
            | - "003xx000004WhHTAA0"
            | - "003xx000004WhKeAAK"
            |
            | If the user did not provide explicit Contact or Lead IDs, use the {!@actions.QueryRecords} tool to get them.
            | Always request these fields for Contact results:
            | Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone.
            | For example:
            | "Find all contacts on opportunity [ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
            | or
            | "Find contacts associated with account [ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
            |
            | CRITICAL: The enrichment actions (GetScores, GetActivities, SummarizeConversations) require Contact or Lead IDs, NOT Account or Opportunity IDs.
            | All enrichment actions take a single "body" parameter — always wrap all fields inside body.
            |
            | Each recommendation should have a Contact ID like "003xx123456".
            |
            | When calling {!@actions.GetScores} with extracted IDs "003xx123456" and "003xx987654":
            |
            | Construct this EXACT object structure for the body parameter:
            | {
            | "recordIds": [
            | "003xx123456",
            | "003xx987654"
            | ],
            | "businessUnitIds": ["1Qxxx..."]
            | }
            |
            | If a businessUnitId was resolved, include it in the businessUnitIds array inside the body. If none is available, omit the businessUnitIds field entirely from the body object.
            |
            | For GetActivities, pass exactly one input named body.
            | Inside body, include ONLY:
            | - recordIds: an array containing up to 3 Contact or Lead IDs
            | - businessUnitId: the Business Unit ID returned by IdentifyBusinessUnit
            |
            | Example tool arguments:
            | {
            |   "body": {
            |     "recordIds": ["003xx123456", "003xx987654", "003xx111111"],
            |     "businessUnitId": "1Qxxx..."
            |   }
            | }
            |
            | NEVER pass recordIds or businessUnitId at the top level.
            | Do NOT pass maxResults, startDate, or endDate.
            | If GetActivities fails, do not retry and do not stop.
            | Continue to SummarizeConversations and answer with the available data.
            | Do not mention the internal action failure to the user.
            | The final answer must still include a useful account summary and contact recommendation.
            |
            | 2. For all actions that take recordIds (GetScores, GetActivities, SummarizeConversations),
            | always pass an object with a recordIds array: { "recordIds": [...] }
            | You can pass up to 200 record IDs to GetScores in a single call.
            |
            | 3. Call {!@actions.GetScores} FIRST to get marketing scores for ALL contacts.
            | Then select the top 3 contacts by overall marketing score.
            | If no usable scores are returned, select the top 3 using role relevance and available Contact data.
            | Preserve each selected Contact's Name and Title from QueryRecords.
            | Never infer a Salesforce Title when the Title field is available.
            | If Title is null or blank, display "Title not available".
            |
            | 4. Enrich the selected top 3 contacts before deciding the Priority Contact.
            | - Call {!@actions.GetActivitiesForRanking} exactly once with the selected top 3 Contact IDs.
            |   This action is for internal ranking only. Its raw output must not be displayed to the user.
            |   Pass IDs inside body.recordIds and include businessUnitId inside body.
            |   Do NOT pass maxResults, startDate, or endDate.
            |   If it fails, continue without retrying.
            | - Call {!@actions.SummarizeConversations} with the same selected top 3 Contact IDs.
            |
            | 5. Determine exactly ONE Priority Contact from those top 3 contacts.
            | Use all available evidence in this order:
            | 1. Strong buying intent or meaningful conversation evidence.
            | 2. Meaningful and recent engagement activity.
            | 3. Overall marketing score.
            | 4. Salesforce Title and role relevance as a tie-breaker.
            | Do not automatically choose the contact with the newest activity when another contact is clearly higher priority overall.
            |
            | 6. CARD DISPLAY POLICY:
            | By default, do NOT call {!@actions.GetActivitiesForDisplay}.
            | General account analysis, engagement summaries, prioritization, and recommendations must use
            | GetActivitiesForRanking only, whose output remains hidden.
            |
            | Call {!@actions.GetActivitiesForDisplay} only when the user explicitly asks to:
            | - show or display engagement activity details
            | - show recent activities or activity history
            | - display the Engagement Insights card
            | - inspect a named Contact or Lead's activity
            | - show the finalized Priority Contact's activity details
            |
            | Do not treat words such as "analyze", "summarize", "engagement", "prioritize",
            | "recommend", or "who should I contact" as a request to display the card.
            | If the user asks about a specific person, call GetActivitiesForDisplay only for that person.
            | If the user asks to display the Priority Contact's activity, first finalize the Priority Contact,
            | then pass ONLY that same person's ID in body.recordIds.
            | If the display action fails, continue without retrying and answer with available data.
            |
            | 7. Present your response in this concise format with clear headers and bullets:
            |
            | **Account Status:** [Brief label like "Warm but Inactive", "Hot - High Intent", "Cold - Re-engage Needed"]
            | - [One bullet describing current state and trajectory, keep under 15 words]
            |
            | **Key Insights**
            | - [First key finding about buying signals or engagement patterns]
            | - [Second key finding, if needed - max 2 bullets total]
            |
            | **Needs Attention**
            | - [Missing stakeholder or concerning pattern]
            | - [Second risk/gap if needed]
            |
            | **Priority Contact → [Contact Name]**
            | - Title: [Exact Contact Title returned by QueryRecords, or "Title not available"]
            | - Why: [One line - why this person matters]
            | - Goal: [One line - what to accomplish with this contact]
            |
            | Format rules:
            | - Use clear section headers (bolded)
            | - Every line after a header should be a bullet point
            | - Keep bullets under 15 words
            | - Focus on business context and buying signals, not data recitation
            | - Be specific with contact names from the data
            | - Always display the exact Salesforce Contact Title for the Priority Contact.
            | - Do not replace the Salesforce Title with an inferred buying role.
            |
            | Example:
            | **Account Status:** Warm but Inactive
            | - High-fit contacts identified, but no active buying signals → risk of stagnation
            |
            | **Key Insights**
            | - Only recent activity is support-related, not tied to purchase intent
            |
            | **Needs Attention**
            | - No confirmed decision maker or economic buyer engaged
            | - No activity in past 60 days across any contacts
            |
            | **Priority Contact → <Contact Name>**
            | - Title: <Exact Salesforce Contact Title>
            | - Why: High-fit contact with zero engagement = clean entry point
            | - Goal: Initiate discovery to validate if demand exists

    reasoning:

            | You are helping identify who the sales rep should reach out to next.
            |
            | IMPORTANT:
            | Do NOT use RecommendOpportunityContacts or FindBuyerGroupMembers.
            | This org does not have that Agent Action available.
            | Use QueryRecords to find existing related Contacts, then enrich them with scores, activities, and conversation summaries.
            |
            | Follow these steps exactly.
            |
            | 0. Resolve the Account or Opportunity context.
            |
            | CURRENT-RECORD SHORTCUT:
            | If the user's request refers to "this", "current", "the record", "this account", "this account", "this account", "this page",
            | or "this opportunity" (or similar), AND {!@variables.currentRecordId} is non-empty:
            | - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Account":
            |   use {!@variables.currentRecordId} as the Account ID.
            | - If {!@variables.currentObjectApiName} is "Opportunity":
            |   use {!@variables.currentRecordId} as the Opportunity ID.
            | - Otherwise, ignore the shortcut and ask for an Account or Opportunity name.
            |
            | If the user provides an Account name, call QueryRecords with:
            | "Find the Account ID for [account name]"
            |
            | If the user provides an Opportunity name, call QueryRecords with:
            | "Find the Opportunity ID for [opportunity name]"
            |
            | 1. Start by calling the {!@actions.IdentifyBusinessUnit} action to determine which Business Unit(s) the user has access to.
            | - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns only one result, NEVER ask the user to select it. Use that result for any businessUnitId input from now on.
            | - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns multiple results, present the list and ask the user to select one. Once selected, use that ID for all subsequent actions in this session.
            | - If a user has previously specified or currently selects a businessUnitId, ALWAYS use that ID for subsequent operations.
            | - Extract the Business Unit ID (the part that starts with "1Q") from the result and store it for use in downstream actions.
            | - If IdentifyBusinessUnit returns no results, an empty list, empty string, or null, inform the user: "You need access to a Business Unit with Data Cloud enabled to use this feature. Please contact your Salesforce administrator to request access to a Business Unit." Then STOP.
            |
            | IMPORTANT CONTINUATION RULE:
            | IdentifyBusinessUnit is a prerequisite action only.
            | Never show its raw output, list entries, or Business Unit ID to the user.
            | Never use the IdentifyBusinessUnit result as the final response.
            | If exactly one Business Unit is returned, immediately continue to QueryRecords and the remaining recommendation steps in the same turn.
            | Do not pause, summarize, or ask for confirmation after receiving one Business Unit.
            | Stop only when no usable Business Unit is returned, or when multiple Business Units require user selection.
            |
            | 2. Find related Contacts.
            |
            | If you have an Account ID, call QueryRecords with:
            | "Find Contacts associated with Account [Account ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
            |
            | If you have an Opportunity ID, call QueryRecords with:
            | "Find Contacts associated with Opportunity [Opportunity ID]. Return Contact Id, Name, Title, AccountId, Email, and Phone."
            |
            | If no contacts are returned, inform the user:
            | "No related contacts were found. Add contacts to the account or opportunity contact roles and try again."
            | Then stop.
            |
            | 3. Extract Contact IDs from the QueryRecords result.
            |
            | Use only Contact IDs that start with "003".
            | Do NOT use Account IDs or Opportunity IDs for enrichment actions.
            |
            | 4. Call GetScores first.
            |
            | Pass this body structure:
            | {
            |   "recordIds": ["003...", "003..."],
            |   "businessUnitIds": ["1Q..."]
            | }
            |
            | You can pass up to 200 Contact IDs to GetScores in a single call.
            |
            | IMPORTANT:
            | If GetScores returns no scores, empty queryResults, or all contacts have no scores,
            | DO NOT stop and DO NOT say that no recommendations are available.
            | Continue using every Contact returned by QueryRecords.
            |
            | Ranking rules:
            | 1. Contacts with engagement activities first.
            | 2. Then contacts with conversation summaries.
            | 3. Then remaining contacts.
            |
            | If scores exist, sort by score first.
            | Otherwise, ignore scoring and continue.
            |
            | Keep at most the top 3 contacts.
            |
            | 5. Enrich the top 3 contacts before final ranking.
            |
            | Call GetActivitiesForRanking exactly once with:
            | {
            |   "body": {
            |     "recordIds": ["003...", "003...", "003..."],
            |     "businessUnitId": "1Q..."
            |   }
            | }
            |
            | This first activity action is for internal ranking only. Its raw output must not be displayed.
            | NEVER pass recordIds or businessUnitId at the top level.
            | Do NOT pass maxResults, startDate, or endDate.
            | If it fails, do not retry and continue normally.
            |
            | Call SummarizeConversations with:
            | {
            |   "recordIds": ["003...", "003...", "003..."]
            | }
            |
            | 6. Finalize exactly ONE first-ranked Priority Contact from the top 3.
            | Use buying intent, meaningful recent activity, score, and role relevance together.
            | Do not select a person merely because their activity happens to be returned first.
            |
            | 7. CARD DISPLAY POLICY:
            | By default, do NOT call GetActivitiesForDisplay.
            | Use GetActivitiesForRanking for internal analysis and keep its output hidden.
            |
            | Call GetActivitiesForDisplay only when the user explicitly asks to:
            | - show or display engagement activity details
            | - show recent activities or activity history
            | - display the Engagement Insights card
            | - inspect a named Contact's activity
            | - show the first-ranked Priority Contact's activity details
            |
            | Do not call the display action for ordinary recommendations, account analysis,
            | engagement summaries, or questions asking who to contact next.
            | If a named Contact is requested, pass only that Contact ID.
            | If the Priority Contact's details are requested, pass only the finalized first-ranked Contact ID.
            |
            | 8. Present only the top 2-3 contacts.
            |
            | Start with:
            | "I reviewed the existing related contacts and identified the best people to contact next. Here are my recommendations."
            |
            | Then present each contact as a bullet list:
            |
            | **[Contact Name]**: [Exact Salesforce Contact Title, or "Title not available"]
            | * Role: [Inferred role in the buying process]
            | * Why: [Why this contact should be prioritized]
            | * Engagement: [Score, meaningful recent activity, and conversation summary]
            | * Recommended Action: [The next outreach step]
            |
            | Format rules:
            | - Do not include an Account Summary section.
            | - Show only 2-3 contacts.
            | - Keep bullets concise.
            | - NEVER answer "I couldn't find any engagement activities" unless QueryRecords returned zero Contacts.
            | - If activities exist for at least one Contact, recommend that Contact first.
            | - Contacts without activities should still be presented as follow-up candidates.
            | - If conversations are "no conversation", simply state "No conversation history".
            | - If activities are empty, state "No recent meaningful activity".
            | - Be clear that these are existing related contacts, not newly discovered buyer group members.
            | - Always use the exact Contact Title returned by QueryRecords.
            | - Keep the inferred buying Role separate from the Salesforce Title.

Marketing Cloud Next との関係

一見すると、このエージェントは営業担当者向けの Agentforce テンプレートに見えます。しかし、内部の処理を見ていくと、Marketing Cloud Next と密接に連携していることが分かります。

実際の Agent Script では、

  • Marketing Score

  • Engagement Activities

  • Buyer Group Recommendations

  • Conversation Summary

など、Marketing Cloud Next が保持するマーケティングデータや AI 機能を活用して回答を生成しています。

つまり、このエージェントは単に Sales Cloud のデータを検索するものではありません。

Marketing Cloud Next に蓄積されたマーケティングデータを、Sales Cloud の営業担当者が自然言語で活用できるようにするためのエージェントと言えるでしょう。

営業担当者は複数の画面を確認することなく、

  • この取引先は現在どれくらい興味を示しているのか

  • 次に誰へアプローチすべきなのか

  • 商談を進めるために不足している情報は何か

といった内容を、AI との会話だけで把握できるようになります。


いかがでしたでしょうか。

これまで営業担当者は、マーケティングスコアやメールの反応、Web 行動、営業活動などを複数の画面から確認し、それらを自分で整理・判断する必要がありました。

Account Discovery エージェントでは、その一連の情報収集と分析を AI が代行し、「今どのような状況なのか」「次に何をすべきか」を自然言語で分かりやすく提示してくれます。

また、公開されている Agent Script を分析することで、Agentforce が単にアクションを呼び出すだけではなく、どのデータを優先的に取得し、どのような形式で AI に要約させるかまで細かく設計されていることも確認できました。このあたりは、今後独自のエージェントを設計する際にも参考になるポイントだと感じています。

現時点(Summer '26)の検証では、ビジネスユニットの有効化が前提となっている可能性がありました。B2B 環境ではビジネスユニットを利用していない組織も少なくないため、利用できる環境はまだ限られるかもしれません。

とはいえ、Marketing Cloud Next のデータを営業活動へ直接活用するという方向性は非常に興味深く、今後さらに進化していくことが期待されます。ビジネスユニットが有効化されている環境をお持ちの方は、ぜひ一度試してみてください。

今回は以上です。
