Salesforce is now composable. Is your team?

Welcome to The CRM Signal — here are the stories worth your attention this week.

✉️ FROM THE EDITOR

This week, it feels like the center of gravity in CRM work is shifting from “where do I click?” to “what can I orchestrate?” Between TDX 2026’s vibe coding (and Agentforce Vibes) and the rise of Salesforce Headless 360, the platform is increasingly something you can compose via APIs, MCP tools, and automation patterns—not just configure in a UI.

At the same time, the people side of the system matters more, not less. A couple pieces this week highlight the perennial gap between what stakeholders assume Salesforce is and what it takes to run it well, plus a sharper take on how admins and developers actually co-exist in 2026. Layer in customer service QA as an operational discipline (not a one-off audit), ABM at scale with real 1:1 personalization, and the Mythos leak as a wake-up call for third-party AI risk—and the theme is clear: speed is up, so alignment and guardrails have to keep up too.

If you’re building faster, integrating deeper, or trying to keep teams aligned across sales, service, and security, there’s something here for you—dig in.
