Understanding the Issue
When teams running Agentforce hit this issue, they may try adding trusted URLs or domains, but this does not resolve the problem. The root cause of the issue is not the security policies or the trusted URLs configuration, but rather the use of invalid TLDs in the email addresses.
The root cause of the issue is the use of invalid TLDs, such as .demo, in the email addresses. Agentforce blocks these email addresses due to its security policies, which are designed to prevent malicious URLs from being included in responses.
To resolve this issue, it is essential to use email addresses with valid TLDs for testing purposes. This ensures that Agentforce does not mischaracterize the email addresses as URLs and block them.
Step-by-Step Solution
To fix the issue, follow these steps: ensure that the email addresses used for testing have valid TLDs, and avoid using demo emails with invalid TLDs, such as .demo.
By following these steps, you can prevent Agentforce from blocking email addresses in responses and ensure that your tests are successful.
Additional Considerations
In some cases, you may need to log a case with Salesforce to report inconsistent behavior in Agentforce. This helps the product team to identify and resolve issues that may be affecting your tests.
Example Email Address Validation
[email protected] // valid email address example@demo // invalid TLD, may be blocked by Agentforce
Heads up: When testing with email addresses, make sure to use valid TLDs to avoid issues with Agentforce.
