AI Associate Salesforce Einstein AI Features Practice Question
A company wants to use Agentforce to create an autonomous agent that can handle order cancellations. Which TWO components are required when building the agent in Agent Builder?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse Topics with Intents or Flows, but Agent Builder specifically requires Topics (to define conversation paths) and Actions (to execute tasks), while Intents are a legacy concept from Einstein Bots and Flows are just one type of Action, not a separate required component.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Actions
Actions (D) are required in Agent Builder because they define the specific tasks the agent can perform, such as invoking an Apex class, a Flow, or an external API to process an order cancellation. Topics (E) are required because they group related user intents and map them to the appropriate actions, enabling the agent to understand and route cancellation requests correctly.
