The Salesforce Spring ’26 release is almost upon us, and as always, the Nebula team has been diving deep into the release notes and sandboxes to see what’s in store.
This release marks a significant milestone in the evolution of “Agentic AI”, with Agentforce moving from a buzzword to a foundational part of how we manage sales, marketing, and revenue. From streamlined account research to more flexible business units, there is a lot to unpack.
We asked five of our consultants to share the one feature they believe will have the biggest impact on our customers this year. Here is what the experts are saying.
1. Advanced Marketing Intelligence & Attribution
Salesforce has introduced Anchor Campaigns and Universal Campaign Summaries to centralise marketing performance. This update integrates expanded Segment Intelligence and Attribution Dashboards, bridging the gap between paid platforms (Meta, Google) and owned channels (Email, SMS) across both B2B and B2C models.
The Benefits:
- Unified Visibility: A single view of total ROI for multi-channel initiatives, eliminating the need to manually stitch together disparate data.
- Precision Optimisation: Users can compare attribution models and drill into specific demographics to identify exactly where spend is most effective.
- Streamlined Workflow: Embedded summaries and “Optimise” shortcuts allow for immediate action on trends without switching views.
“From the many features arriving in Spring ’26, I’m particularly excited about the development of multi-touch attribution. Attribution is always a highly contested topic; having the ability to compare models side-by-side and configure them based on specific conversion events is a game-changer. It takes Marketing Intelligence to the forefront of performance analytics for 2026.”
Luke Matthews, Functional Consultant
2. Enterprise-Grade Marketing Cloud Next
Salesforce has introduced support for up to 50 Business Units within Marketing Cloud Next. This allows organisations to partition data, content, and channels by brand, region, or division. It also enables business unit-scoped Einstein and Agentforce features, such as Send Time Optimisation and the Campaign Creation Agent.
The Benefits:
- Operational Alignment: Mirror your precise organisational structure so teams stay focused on relevant goals while leadership maintains enterprise-wide visibility.
- Data Security: Maintains strict separation by filtering data through dedicated data spaces and workspace assignments.
- Localised Intelligence: AI-driven insights are tailored to the specific audience of each unit for higher accuracy.
“Business Units for Marketing Cloud is the official green light for our enterprise clients. This release removes the biggest barrier to adoption, allowing large organisations to finally make the move. It means we can now guide our multi-brand and multi-regional clients onto the full benefits of Marketing Cloud Next with confidence.”
Migena Marina, Senior Technical Consultant
3. Smarter Sales Preparation with Agentforce
Salesforce has launched Agentforce Account Management, an AI-driven tool that automates deep account research. It aggregates company demographics, business priorities, KPIs, and industry trends to generate comprehensive briefings and strategic positioning statements automatically.
The Benefits:
- Strategic Precision: Anchors every pitch in real-time data and specific business objectives.
- Enhanced Productivity: Dramatically reduces the time spent on manual research and meeting preparation.
- Meeting Readiness: Ensures sales teams are fully briefed and consistent across the entire account portfolio.
“The most valuable commodity a seller has is time. This new feature automates the ‘homework’, allowing the team to show up as a trusted advisor on day one, rather than just another vendor asking basic discovery questions.”
Monika Janíčková, Delivery Consultant
4. Visual Agent Development
Salesforce has upgraded the Agentforce Builder Canvas to include features previously restricted to Script view. Key enhancements include the automatic inclusion of actions in reasoning, managing variables directly on the canvas, and the introduction of “Follow-up Actions” for chaining workflows.
The Benefits:
- Simplified Development: Automation of “reasoning actions” speeds up the agent creation process.
- Enhanced Control: Full control over complex logic (variables and filters) within an intuitive visual interface.
- Sophisticated Interactions: Seamlessly chain tasks and define agent personas for consistent brand experiences.
“The Agentforce Builder Canvas update transforms how we build agents by providing a smoother, more visual interface. By eliminating the constant need to switch between Canvas and Script view, we can deliver more sophisticated agents with better context control in significantly less time.”
Josh Tappin, Senior Technical Consultant
5. Flexible Revenue & Promotion Strategies
Salesforce has introduced a robust promotions engine within Agentforce Revenue Management (formerly Revenue Cloud). Designers can now create manual or automatic discounts, track them via a “price waterfall”, and ensure they persist throughout the asset lifecycle.
The Benefits:
- Strategic Revenue: Incentivise specific behaviours, like longer contract terms or bundles, through targeted rules.
- Transparency: Full visibility of discounts in the price waterfall ensures trust during negotiations.
- Lifecycle Consistency: Track and reapply discounts accurately during amendments and renewals to improve retention.
“I’m really looking forward to using Promotions in Revenue Management. The flexibility is the game-changer here; customers can run discounts for a set period, extend them through renewals, or revert to standard pricing seamlessly. It gives teams control, consistency, and speed.”
