Building an AI Command Center for Salesforce Marketing Cloud

## The problem: nobody sees the whole funnel Multiple teams touch SFMC—Lifecycle, Data, Creative, Compliance. When something breaks (data delay, content bug, deliverability alert), everyone scrambles because information lives in different silos. ## Step 1: Create a signal layer - Ingest Audience Builder exports, Journey Builder logs, and Einstein Send Time data into a warehouse table every hour. - Add AI copilots (we use GPT-4o mini) to summarize anomalies. Example prompt: “Compare today’s triggered sends vs 4-week avg; highlight >15% deltas.” ## Step 2: Automate the routine fixes - Auto-create Jira/Linear issues when data drops or automations pause. - Use Content Builder API + templated copy to stage emergency sends; human reviewers only approve or reject. ## Step 3: Keep humans in control - Every AI change surfaces as a pull request in GitHub with diff summaries. - Business stakeholders receive a “Command Center Digest” email at 8am summarizing signals, queued fixes, and approvals needed. ## Results we’ve seen - 30–40% faster incident response. - 20 hours per week freed from manual QA + reporting. - Happier execs because SFMC doesn’t feel like a black box anymore.
