5 Ways Salesforce Agentforce & SUMO Scheduler Enhance Student Engagement

Student engagement is the foundation of academic success, but institutions often struggle to provide personalized, timely support. Salesforce Agentforce, combined with SUMO Scheduler, streamlines communication, automates scheduling, and ensures students connect with the right resources at the right time. Here’s how this powerful combination transforms student engagement.
