Vonage, part of Ericsson, has introduced a new customer engagement solution called Vonage Conversations for Agentforce Marketing, expanding how businesses connect with customers through digital messaging. Built on Vonage Communications APIs, the solution brings channels such as SMS, WhatsApp, and Rich Communication Services (RCS) directly into the Salesforce environment. As a result, enterprises can reach customers on the platforms they already prefer, without switching tools or systems.
With this integration, marketing teams can manage two-way conversations from a single interface inside Salesforce while using existing customer data to deliver more personalized outreach. At the same time, automated workflows now combine live agent support with agentic AI, enabling faster responses and continuous engagement. The AI-driven capabilities support hyper-personalization at scale, helping brands orchestrate proactive, always-available, and omnichannel customer journeys that adapt to individual behaviors.
"The true value of programmable communications is realized when they're embedded into the platforms businesses use every day," said Pamela Clark-Dickson, principal analyst, business messaging, Mobile Ecosystem Forum. "By leveraging APIs to embed AI-powered omnichannel conversations into Agentforce Marketing, Vonage enables enterprises to engage customers with rich, two-way messaging, fully integrated into their current workflows. The result is faster execution, deeper personalization, and more meaningful customer engagement."
Beyond improving engagement, Vonage’s AI-powered APIs also support real-time data analysis and task automation. These tools help ensure consistent messaging across channels while meeting regulatory compliance standards. Marketers can use a single message composer to manage campaigns, automate responses, and monitor performance, which can lead to higher interaction rates, improved click-throughs, and better conversion outcomes.
Vonage already supports enterprises across sectors such as retail, financial services, and healthcare, where secure and reliable communications are critical. RCS, in particular, continues to gain traction as a visual and interactive messaging format, and global traffic is expected to grow significantly over the next few years. At the same time, WhatsApp remains a dominant business communication channel, especially in EMEA markets, where usage now exceeds traditional SMS for customer interactions.
"In today's market, it's not enough to just send messages; businesses must create meaningful connections across every customer touchpoint," said Christophe Van de Weyer, President and Head of Business Unit API for Vonage. "Vonage's portfolio of communications solutions is built to meet the high-volume demands of the largest brands in the world, delivering unmatched performance and reliability. With the integration of rich, two-way messaging channels like RCS, WhatsApp, and SMS into Agentforce Marketing, Vonage is bringing these messaging capabilities to enterprises around the world. The integration of our APIs with Salesforce Marketing Cloud means marketers can now create personalized, branded conversations that strengthen loyalty, drive enhanced engagement and deliver exceptional customer experiences at scale."
This launch also strengthens the Vonage AI Hub, which offers low-code and no-code tools designed to speed up digital transformation. In addition, the new service expands existing Salesforce integrations, helping organizations align marketing, sales, and service engagement into a single connected experience while supporting end-to-end customer journeys.
