NLP

In plain words: Natural Language Processing (NLP) is how Salesforce understands everyday human language. Instead of forcing customers or reps to use exact keywords or rigid dropdown menus, NLP allows the system to read incoming emails, chats, or search queries, understand the customer's intent and emotion, and automatically route tickets, score leads, or draft replies. Customer communication rarely arrives neatly organized in structured database fields. Support requests, web inquiries, and emails come as conversational text filled with slang, varying tones, and complex questions. By embedding Natural Language Processing (NLP) directly into the Salesforce platform via the Einstein 1 Platform and Agentforce , organizations can interpret unstructured customer messages, categorize records instantly, and automate responses at scale.
