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.

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.
