Thus, the correct variables are customers at the start, customers at the end, and new customers acquired during the period.

Option B and C include incorrect parameters—“old customers who returned” and “customers lost”—which are not used directly in retention rate formulas.

For creating a secure, branded mobile app for Experience Cloud customers, utilizing Salesforce Mobile Publisher is recommended. This tool allows for the creation of a unified mobile app compatible with both Apple and Android devices, providing a seamless experience for customers to engage with the brand, track cases, and interact with the community.

To accurately calculate and report how long cases stay open, a custom formula field should be created on the Case object (for example, TODAY() - CreatedDate for open cases, and ClosedDate - CreatedDate for closed ones). This field can then be included in standard or custom reports.

Option A (Case Age field) only measures the duration for currently open cases and does not calculate for closed cases.

Option B (formula on the report) is not supported in Salesforce standard reporting capabilities.

To accommodate the common stages and fields for new product support cases and the additional stages and fields for maintenance cases, implementing Support Processes is recommended. Support Processes allow for the customization of case stages based on the type of support being provided, ensuring that all necessary information is captured accurately for each case type.

To provide Tier 2 agents with visibility into the progress made by Tier 1 agents,Path for Casesis the recommended feature. This visual tool guides agents through the stages of case resolution, displaying key fields and statuses.

From the Salesforce documentation:

"Path visually guides agents through the different stages of a case, providing them with the necessary context and guidance at each step. This feature helps in streamlining the handover process and ensures that Tier 2 representatives are immediately aware of the actions taken by Tier 1, enhancing efficiency and case resolution times."

Implementing Path for Cases ensures a seamless transition between support tiers, maintaining continuity in customer service and reducing the time needed for Tier 2 agents to get up to speed.

To improve agents' ability to find appropriate answers during chat sessions with customers, implementing Einstein Article Recommendations is recommended. This feature uses AI to suggest relevant Knowledge articles to agents based on the context of the chat, enhancing the efficiency of information retrieval and the quality of customer support.

Before creating an implementation plan for Web-to-Case, reviewing the guidelines and limits for this feature is essential. Understanding these constraints ensures that the implementation alignswith Salesforce's capabilities and limitations, facilitating a smooth and effective deployment of the Web-to-Case form.

Agentforce Service Agent includes actions that allow escalation when certain behaviors or triggers occur during a conversation. The “Escalate to Supervisor” action is designed for situations requiring immediate oversight—such as handling abusive language or sensitive customer interactions—while maintaining service continuity.

This approach enables supervisors to intervene directly or provide guidance, ensuring the customer is still supported professionally.

Option A (Raise Supervisor Flag) is primarily for flagging potential issues but does not initiate escalation or workflow action.

Option B (Slack collaboration) facilitates internal communication but doesn’t directly manage customer-facing escalation workflows.
