The Summer '25 Release (rolling out April-June 2025) is packed with updates designed to fuel your innovation. We've sifted through the details to bring you the key highlights across critical areas, so you can focus on what matters most: creating exceptional value for your customers. From Agentforce to Data Cloud, Developer Experience to Digital Wallet, we're breaking down the key enhancements that mean new opportunities and bigger wins for you. Let's get straight to what matters.
Build & Deliver Smarter Agents, Faster: Agent API, Triggers, AI Assistance and Enhanced Packaging

Ready to build smarter, integrate deeper, and deploy faster? Dive into the Agentforce innovations that will give your ISV offerings a serious edge.
Real-Time Data, Real-Time Value: Say Goodbye to Data Replication with Zero Copy
Say goodbye to data silos and hello to real-time insights. Zero Copy Data Streams now deliver live customer data from platforms like Snowflake (purchase history), Google BigQuery (behavioral analytics), and Databricks (IoT telemetry) directly into Salesforce. Tap this real-time flow to build smarter, faster, and more responsive ISV solutions - unlocking new innovation and growth opportunities for your apps. Imagine: hyper-personalized recommendations based on live user activity, or proactive support triggered by real-time usage patterns. Automate smarter too: dynamic feature access based on live data or intelligent routing within your app.
This power comes from Salesforce Data Cloud - the core unifying diverse customer data for that critical 360° view, maximizing the value you can deliver on the platform.
While ISV packaging evolves, Summer '25 delivers this key foundation for leveraging real-time insights.
Accelerate Development, Ensure Quality: Introducing the Enhanced Testing Center and Code Analyzer
You already know how to test app use cases based on your UI, but what about a generative world where a user can literally ask anything! The new Agentforce Testing Center simplifies the simulation of real-world test scenarios, providing greater detail when tests fail for more effective debugging. It leverages AI to automatically generate comprehensive test suites from natural language inputs, enabling your development teams to realize substantial time savings and significantly reduce manual testing overhead. To further enhance the quality and security of your development, the Salesforce Code Analyzer proactively identifies potential issues. You can execute tests generated by the Testing Center directly in the user interface or integrate them seamlessly into your CI and CD pipelines via the CLI. This flexibility, combined with the proactive code insights from the Analyzer, ensures robust and reliable agent performance, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and cost-effective development process.
Collaborate More Effectively with Salesforce Sales Teams via Flex Credits
Remember the Salesforce Digital Wallet we launched last summer? That's your go-to for real-time usage data on those cool consumption-based products. Now, get this: Flex Credits are here! This new payment option gives customers more wiggle room - and it's a major talking point for our sales teams because it's a core part of how they're selling. Why should you care? Because your awesome solutions drive the very consumption that Flex Credits are built on! That means more demand, better alignment with our targets (cha-ching!), and ultimately, joint wins. Heads up though: you won't bill via Flex Credits on AppExchange just yet, but the usage you generate? That directly fuels our sales engine.
For Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners, we're boosting our Trusted Services offerings to help you stand out and tap into new revenue streams. Thanks to the acquisition of Own Company, Own Secure is now seamlessly integrated into Salesforce Shield and Security Center, providing enhanced monitoring, detection, and protection tools via a managed package. This empowers you to immediately strengthen the security and compliance of your OEM solutions, unlock new revenue streams through reselling and co-selling, and differentiate your offerings with comprehensive, integrated security features - all with seamless integration and no new contractual limitations.
