Research Account and Prompt Templates

This agent action calls the Record Research prompt template. Users can modify the prompt template. For example, change the data model; research different objects; or store research in standard or custom fields, among other customizations. Record research prompt templates use the Einstein Search Web Retriever to perform research.

Considerations

  • You can use Research Account only on business accounts.
  • Research Account requires you to disable data masking for the Company Name field.
  • The large language model (LLM) that generates the output doesn’t always use the most recent information about the company you’re researching. Always verify the results provided before using them.
