Tip Instead of completing this task manually, get help from Setup with Agentforce. For example, ask the Setup agent, “Can you help me create a custom object?” For more information, see [Data Model Management in Setup with Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.setup_agentforce_data_model.htm&language=en_US).

1. From Setup, enter Objects in the Quick Find box, then select **Objects**.
2. Click **New Custom Object**.
3. Follow the wizard to complete the fields for your custom object.
4. Save the new object.
