The Spring ’25 Release for Field Service delivers powerful updates to improve productivity and enhance mobile worker experiences. Fill schedule gaps with Agentforce, streamline workflows with Data Capture forms, and empower workers with tools like Siri integration and image-based AI assistance. These updates can help you operate more efficiently, keep your team safe, and deliver exceptional service to your customers. Learn the latest features for field service below!
Boost Productivity and Resource Utilization by Easily Filling Schedule Gaps with Agentforce
Let dispatchers focus on strategic tasks by using Agentforce Field Service Actions to fill schedule gaps. Agentforce uses your business rules and objectives to recommend appointments for the gaps, and then schedules the appointment selected by the dispatcher.
Listen Safely to Pre-Work Briefs with a Tap of a Button
Take care of your mobile workers’ safety by keeping their eyes away from their phones. In the Einstein generative AI Pre-Work Brief, mobile workers can now get the brief read aloud to them. For example, if a worker is at a busy job site and they want to prepare for the job while remaining aware of what’s going on around them, they can listen to the brief.
Get Solutions Easily from Agentforce by Including Images
Mobile workers can now add images to their conversation with their AI agent in the Field Service mobile app. Agentforce analyzes the images to assist the mobile worker. Workers can add images from their gallery or take a picture directly with their camera. For example, instead of workers explaining an error code on an oven, they can add an image that shows the information.
Work Smarter by Using Siri to Communicate with Agentforce
Mobile workers can talk to Siri and have her request Agentforce to do something for them in the Field Service mobile app. When a mobile worker says to Siri, “Ask Field Service,” followed by their request, the AI agent starts working its magic in the app. The AI agent can quickly complete any request it’s been set up to do. For example, mobile workers can ask to draft a post-work summary, get information from knowledge articles, or schedule a follow-up appointment.
Increase Coverage with 24-Hour Availability for All Service Resources
Enable continuous round-the-clock availability for individual service resources to allow assigning appointments in specific scenarios, such as emergencies during on-call shifts. This enhancement supports scheduling across standard and extended working hours for a period that spans beyond 24 hours without breaking or requiring artificial gaps. Previously, only capacity-based resources were always available.
Enhance Scheduling Flexibility by Assigning Service Appointments to Individuals or Crews
Get more options when scheduling service appointments that require a crew size of one by assigning them to either an individual service resource or a crew. Previously, this functionality was available by default only when you’re not using Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization. Now, with Enhanced Scheduling and Optimization, you can turn this functionality on or off with the Assign Service Appointments to Individuals and Crews checkbox.
Gain Visibility into the Scheduling History of Service Appointments
Track information on changes made to a service appointment and quickly resolve any related issues. Service Appointment Lifecycle captures changes to key service appointment properties related to scheduling, such as service resource, duration, and scheduled start and end times. This information shows on the service appointment record page, where dispatchers and Salesforce admins can easily spot and review issues. Each change is also saved to the new Field Service object change record page. From the object list view, Salesforce admins can identify and analyze patterns and trends and create reports to better manage the scheduling process. Previously, only the current scheduling information for service appointments was available.
Monitor Field Service Operations with New Dashboards (Beta)
Determine if you’re meeting your field service goals with the new Field Service Intelligence dashboards. The new dashboards help your field service team improve operations and reduce costs with customer data, easy-to-understand visualizations, and key performance indicators enhanced with Einstein. This app includes Work Order dashboards to help you understand where your orders come from, and Service Appointment dashboards that help you understand trends, such as appointment duration and the first-time fix rate.
Promote Your Brand During Visual Remote Assistant Sessions
Create a personalized customer experience by customizing the mobile web browser screens shown before, during, and after each Visual Remote Assistant session. Upload and integrate your brand assets to align each customer interaction with your brand identity for enhanced recognition, trust, and engagement.
Find Available Slots More Efficiently When Booking Appointments with Appointment Assistant
Booking appointments is easier than ever with the simplified Appointment Assistant experience. Customers can now see a more focused single-day view of available appointment slots, making it easier to find a time that works for them. No more sifting through a list of the full-week’s schedule. If no slots are available for the selected week, customers can tap the option to move to the next week and continue their search.
Simplify Mobile Forms with Data Capture Flow (Generally Available)
Create dynamic, responsive forms in Flow Builder with the Data Capture flow type. Data Capture is the Salesforce Field Service solution for forms for everything from pre-work tasks like safety protocol to environmental assessments. With Data Capture, build forms that use conditional logic to simplify the mobile experience, respond to mobile users’ input, and reduce task completion time. Previously, you had to integrate external apps to create forms that launch from the mobile app. With the Data Capture flow, forms are seamlessly integrated with the Salesforce platform and are tailored to the task.
Empower Mobile Workers with Data Capture Forms (Generally Available)
Get the job done faster, online or offline, with smart, dynamic Data Capture forms. Launch Data Capture forms from the Forms tab on Work Order Overview or directly from a service appointment or work order line item from the Forms related list. Navigate freely throughout Data Capture forms without missing a beat. Data Capture flows are auto-saved, so you don’t have to worry about losing your work. From asset maintenance to environmental assessment, the conditional logic of Data Capture tailors data collection to the task at hand, freeing mobile workers to focus on what matters and complete work faster.
Manage Service Records Automatically On the Go
Manage service records offline when mobile workers arrive or leave an area. Geolocation-based actions with mobile screen flows run in the background as workers engage with the app. Previously, mobile workers had to go back online for the action’s data to be synced and for the record-triggered flow to launch.
Get Notified When Mobile Workers Arrive at the Office or Pass by a Work Facility
To monitor mobile worker safety and automate check-ins, use geolocation-based actions with new support for service territory and service territory members. You can trigger actions when mobile workers come in, out, or through the area. These enhancements lead to streamlined operations, better resource management, and ultimately, higher customer satisfaction by making sure that services are delivered more efficiently and safely. Previously, only service appointments were supported, not the service territory and service territory members.
