Introducing Salesforce Headless 360: No Browser Required
For more than two decades, businesses interacted with Salesforce through dashboards, consoles, forms, and manual workflows. Teams logged into Salesforce, clicked through interfaces, updated records, processed approvals, and completed tasks one screen at a time.
That model is changing.
Salesforce officially introduced Salesforce Headless 360, a revolutionary API-first platform architecture designed for the new era of AI-powered enterprise operations. Instead of relying on humans navigating user interfaces, Salesforce is exposing its ecosystem as APIs, MCP tools, and CLI commands that AI agents can interact with directly.
