Get started with Salesforce Agentforce by provisioning a Developer Edition org and configuring initial developer settings. This guide walks through signup, activation and first-time setup tips to make your Agentforce DE org production-ready for experimentation.
What is Agentforce?
Salesforce Agentforce is a platform for building and deploying autonomous AI agents that augment human teams. It includes tools for creating LLM-driven agents, AI flow templates, custom Lightning components and supporting Apex classes tailored to agent workflows.
Step-by-step: Sign up for an Agentforce Developer Edition Org
Follow these practical steps to create and prepare your Agentforce DE org for development:
- Visit the signup page: Go to the Agentforce Developer Edition signup on Salesforce Developer: https://developer.salesforce.com/signup. (If the Agentforce promo link has changed, search the Developer site for the latest offer.)
- Fill out the registration form: Provide your first/last name, a reachable email, role (Developer/Architect/Admin), company, country and a unique username in email format (for example: [email protected]).
- Activate your org: Open the confirmation email from Salesforce, click the activation link and set your password. Use the credentials to log in and finish setup.
- First-time configuration:
- Set language & time zone: Setup > My Settings > Language & Time Zone.
- Enable developer tools: Setup > Quick Find > Dev Hub (if you plan to use scratch orgs or advanced development).
- Explore preloaded resources: Agentforce DE orgs often include sample metadata for LLM agents, custom Lightning components, AI flow templates and sample Apex classes to help you get started faster.
Best practices
- Use a dedicated email you can access to receive signup confirmations.
- Choose a unique username to avoid signup errors.
- Review preloaded samples before modifying them — they’re useful learning assets.

Why this matters: Agentforce gives Salesforce developers and admins a safe playground to build, test, and iterate on AI agents without touching production data. Proper setup saves time and reduces friction later when you deploy agents into sandboxes or production.
