Extend Agentforce with Integration Procedures in OmniStudio

Master Agentforce Integration Procedures with step-by-step OmniStudio Integration to automate workflows and boost agent productivity.

Why Agentforce and OmniStudio Integration Matters

In the modern customer service world, efficiency is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Salesforce’s Agentforce offers a centralized AI-driven workspace for agents, while OmniStudio Integration empowers teams to automate complex workflows without code-heavy solutions. Combining these tools allows teams to enhance real-time interactions, reduce manual work, and deliver consistent, fast support.

This guide explores how to extend Agentforce Integration Procedures to achieve smarter automation and improve overall user experience.

What is Agentforce?

Agentforce is Salesforce’s AI-powered platform designed to create intelligent, autonomous agents. It unifies customer data, workflows, and tools into one interface, helping agents focus on resolving issues rather than navigating multiple systems.

By adding OmniStudio Integration capabilities, you can:

• Automate repetitive workflows like tax calculations or data retrieval.
  
• Streamline communication between Salesforce and external services.
  
• Deliver instant insights during live customer conversations.
  

Why Use OmniStudio Integration Procedures in Agentforce?

Agentforce Integration Procedures act as the bridge between complex business logic and the agent’s interface. They allow you to:

• Run calculations, validations, or data lookups instantly.
  
• Integrate with APIs or external systems without heavy development.
  
• Simplify maintenance by centralizing automation workflows in one place.
  

Transitioning to this setup reduces friction for agents and boosts operational efficiency.

Prerequisites: Get Your Salesforce Org Ready

Before implementing OmniStudio Integration, ensure your Salesforce environment is correctly configured:

1. Enable OmniStudio Metadata API Support – Activates Integration Procedure functionality.
   
2. Assign Permission Sets – Provide access via OmniStudio Admin and FSC Insurance (if needed).
   
3. Turn On Agentforce – Enable generative AI features under Einstein Setup.
   
4. Access Financial Services Cloud (Optional) – Some workflows, like tax calculations, rely on FSC capabilities.
   

Step-by-Step: Building Agentforce Integration Procedures

1. Create an Integration Procedure

1. Open OmniStudio App from the Salesforce App Launcher.
   
2. Select Integration Procedure and click New.
   
3. Enter details:
   
   • Name: Calculate Tax Slab
     
   • Type: AgentIP
     
   • Sub Type: taxSlab
     
4. Add components to read user data, call APIs, and return results.
   
5. Preview and configure data using JSON.
   

Sample Input JSON:

{
  "taxpayerId": "TAXP123456",
  "financialYear": "2024-2025",
  "totalIncome": 1800000
}

Sample Output JSON:

{
  "taxpayerId": "TAXP123456",
  "financialYear": "2024-2025",
  "baseTax": 315000,
  "surcharge": 0,
  "totalTaxPayable": 315000
}

Once verified, activate the Integration Procedure.

2. Build the Agent Action

Agent Actions connect Agentforce Integration Procedures to the topics your agents use.

1. Go to Setup → Agentforce Assets.
   
2. Create a New Agent Action referencing the Integration Procedure.
   
3. Configure inputs to gather user data and outputs to display in conversations.
   
4. Save and link the action to your workflow.
   

3. Configure the Agent and Topic

1. In Agentforce, create or edit an Agent.
   
2. Add a Topic (e.g., “Calculate Tax Slab”).
   
3. Link the Agent Action you created.
   
4. Test in a sandbox environment to ensure smooth execution.
   

With this setup, agents can perform real-time tax calculations or data lookups during conversations.
