sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript: OmniStudio OmniScript Creation and Validation

Expert OmniStudio OmniScript builder for declarative, step-based guided digital experiences. OmniScripts are the OmniStudio analog of Screen Flows: multi-step, interactive processes that collect input, orchestrate server-side logic (Integration Procedures, DataRaptors), and present results to the user — all without code.

Quick Reference

Scoring: 120 points across 6 categories. Thresholds: ✅ 90+ (Deploy) | ⚠️ 67-89 (Review) | ❌ <67 (Block - fix required)


Core Responsibilities

  1. OmniScript Generation: Create well-structured OmniScripts from requirements, selecting appropriate element types for each step
  2. Element Design: Configure PropertySetConfig JSON for each element with correct data binding, validation, and conditional logic
  3. Dependency Analysis: Map all references to Integration Procedures, DataRaptors, and embedded OmniScripts before deployment
  4. Data Flow Analysis: Trace data through the OmniScript JSON structure — from prefill through user input to final save actions

CRITICAL: Orchestration Order

sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze → sf-industry-commoncore-datamapper → sf-industry-commoncore-integration-procedure → sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript → sf-industry-commoncore-flexcard (you are here: sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript)

OmniScripts consume Integration Procedures and DataRaptors. Build those FIRST. FlexCards may launch OmniScripts — build FlexCards AFTER. Use sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze to map the full dependency tree before starting.


Key Insights

| Insight | Details | |---------|---------| | Type/SubType/Language triplet | Uniquely identifies an OmniScript. All three values are required and form the composite key. Example: Type=ServiceRequest, SubType=NewCase, Language=English | | PropertySetConfig | JSON blob containing all element configuration — layout, data binding, validation rules, conditional visibility. This is where the real logic lives | | Core namespace | OmniProcess with IsIntegrationProcedure = false (equivalently OmniProcessType='OmniScript'). Elements are child OmniProcessElement records | | Element hierarchy | Elements use Level/Order fields for tree structure. Level 0 = Steps, Level 1+ = elements within steps. Order determines sequence within a level | | Version management | Multiple versions can exist; only one can be active per Type/SubType/Language triplet. Activate via the IsActive field | | Data JSON | OmniScripts pass a single JSON data structure through all steps. Elements read from and write to this shared JSON via merge field syntax |


Workflow Design (5-Phase Pattern)

Phase 1: Requirements Gathering

Before building, evaluate alternatives: OmniScripts are best for complex, multi-step guided processes. For simple single-screen data entry, consider Screen Flows. For data display without interaction, consider FlexCards.

Ask the user to gather:

  • Type: The process category (e.g., ServiceRequest, Enrollment, ClaimSubmission)
  • SubType: The specific variation (e.g., NewCase, UpdateAddress, FileAppeal)
  • Language: Typically English unless multi-language support is required
  • Purpose: What business process this OmniScript guides the user through
  • Target org: Org alias for deployment
  • Data sources: Which objects/APIs need to be queried or updated

Then: Check existing OmniScripts to avoid duplication, identify reusable Integration Procedures or DataRaptors, and map the dependency chain.

Phase 2: Design & Element Selection

Design each step and select element types appropriate to the interaction pattern.

Container Elements

| Element Type | Purpose | Key Config | |-------------|---------|------------| | Step | Top-level container for a group of UI elements; each Step is a page in the wizard | chartLabel, knowledgeOptions, show (conditional visibility) | | Conditional Block | Show/hide a group of elements based on conditions | conditionType, show expression | | Loop Block | Iterate over a data list and render elements for each item | loopData (JSON path to array) | | Edit Block | Inline editing container for tabular data | editFields, dataSource |

Input Elements

| Element Type | Purpose | Key Config | |-------------|---------|------------| | Text | Single-line text input | label, placeholder, pattern (regex validation) | | Text Area | Multi-line text input | label, maxLength, rows | | Number | Numeric input with optional formatting | label, min, max, step, format | | Date | Date picker | label, dateFormat, minDate, maxDate | | Date/Time | Date and time picker | label, dateFormat, timeFormat | | Checkbox | Boolean toggle | label, defaultValue | | Radio | Radio button group for single selection | label, options (static or data-driven) | | Select | Dropdown selection | label, options, optionSource (static/data) | | Multi-select | Multiple item selection | label, options, maxSelections | | Type Ahead | Search/autocomplete input | label, dataSource, searchField, minCharacters | | Signature | Signature capture pad | label, penColor, backgroundColor | | File | File upload | label, maxFileSize, allowedExtensions | | Currency | Currency input with locale formatting | label, currencyCode, min, max | | Email | Email input with format validation | label, placeholder | | Telephone | Phone number input with masking | label, mask, placeholder | | URL | URL input with format validation | label, placeholder | | Password | Masked text input | label, minLength | | Range | Slider input | label, min, max, step | | Time | Time picker | label, timeFormat |

Display Elements

| Element Type | Purpose | Key Config | |-------------|---------|------------| | Text Block | Static content display (HTML supported) | textContent, HTMLTemplateId | | Headline | Section heading | text, level (h1-h6) | | Aggregate | Calculated summary display | aggregateExpression, format | | Disclosure | Expandable/collapsible content | label, defaultExpanded | | Image | Image display | imageURL, altText | | Chart | Data visualization | chartType, dataSource |

Action Elements

| Element Type | Purpose | Key Config | |-------------|---------|------------| | DataRaptor Extract Action | Pull data from Salesforce | bundle, inputMap, outputMap | | DataRaptor Load Action | Push data to Salesforce | bundle, inputMap | | Integration Procedure Action | Call server-side Integration Procedure | ipMethod (Type_SubType), inputMap, outputMap, remoteOptions | | Remote Action | Call Apex @RemoteAction or REST | remoteClass, remoteMethod, inputMap | | Navigate Action | Page navigation or redirection | targetType, targetId, URL | | DocuSign Envelope Action | Trigger DocuSign envelope | templateId, recipientMap | | Email Action | Send email | emailTemplateId, recipientMap |

Logic Elements

| Element Type | Purpose | Key Config | |-------------|---------|------------| | Set Values | Variable assignment and data transformation | elementValueMap (key-value pairs) | | Validation | Input validation rules with custom messages | validationFormula, errorMessage | | Formula | Calculate values using formula expressions | expression, dataType | | Submit Action | Final submission of collected data | postMessage, preTransformBundle, postTransformBundle |

Phase 3: Generation & Validation

# Verify no duplicate Type/SubType/Language exists
sf data query -q "SELECT Id,Name,Type,SubType,Language,IsActive,VersionNumber FROM OmniProcess WHERE Type='<Type>' AND SubType='<SubType>' AND Language='<Language>' AND OmniProcessType='OmniScript'" -o <org>

Build the OmniScript:

  1. Create the OmniProcess record with Type, SubType, Language, and OmniProcessType='OmniScript'
  2. Create OmniProcessElement child records for each Step (Level=0)
  3. Create OmniProcessElement child records for each element within Steps (Level=1+, ordered by Order field)
  4. Configure PropertySetConfig JSON for each element
  5. Wire action elements to their Integration Procedures / DataRaptors

Validation (STRICT MODE):

  • BLOCK: Missing Type/SubType/Language, circular OmniScript embedding, broken IP/DataRaptor references, missing required PropertySetConfig fields
  • WARN: Steps with no elements, input elements without validation, missing error handling on actions, unused data paths, deeply nested elements (>4 levels)

Validation Report Format (6-Category Scoring 0-120):

Score: 102/120 ---- Very Good
-- Design & Structure: 22/25 (88%)
-- Data Integration: 18/20 (90%)
-- Error Handling: 17/20 (85%)
-- Performance: 18/20 (90%)
-- User Experience: 17/20 (85%)
-- Security: 10/15 (67%)

Phase 4: Deployment

  1. Deploy all dependencies first: DataRaptors, Integration Procedures, referenced OmniScripts
  2. Retrieve or deploy OmniScript metadata:
    sf project retrieve start -m OmniScript:<Name> -o <org>
    sf project deploy start -m OmniScript:<Name> -o <org>
    
  3. Activate the OmniScript version after successful deployment
  4. Verify activation:
    sf data query -q "SELECT Id,Name,Type,SubType,Language,IsActive,VersionNumber FROM OmniProcess WHERE Type='<Type>' AND SubType='<SubType>' AND OmniProcessType='OmniScript' AND IsActive=true" -o <org>
    

Phase 5: Testing

Walk through all paths with various data scenarios:

  • Happy path: Complete all steps with valid data, verify submission
  • Validation testing: Submit invalid data at each input, verify error messages
  • Conditional testing: Exercise all conditional blocks and verify show/hide logic
  • Data prefill: Verify DataRaptor Extract Actions populate elements correctly
  • Save for later: Test resume functionality if enabled
  • Navigation: Test back/forward/cancel behavior across all steps
  • Error scenarios: Simulate IP/DataRaptor failures, verify error handling
  • Embedded OmniScripts: Test data passing between parent and child OmniScripts
  • Bulk data: Test with large datasets in Loop Blocks and Type Ahead elements

Generation Guardrails (MANDATORY)

| Anti-Pattern | Impact | Correct Pattern | |--------------|--------|-----------------| | Circular OmniScript embedding | Infinite rendering loop | Map dependency tree; never embed A in B if B embeds A | | Unbounded DataRaptor Extract | Performance degradation | Add filter conditions; limit returned records | | Missing input validation | Bad data entry | Add Validation elements or pattern/required on inputs | | Hardcoded Salesforce IDs | Deployment failure across orgs | Use merge fields or Custom Settings/Metadata | | IP Action without error handling | Silent failures | Configure showError, errorMessage in PropertySetConfig | | Large images in Text Blocks | Slow page load | Use Image elements with optimized URLs | | Too many elements per Step | Poor user experience | Limit to 7-10 input elements per Step | | Missing conditional visibility | Irrelevant fields shown | Use show expressions to hide inapplicable elements |

DO NOT generate anti-patterns even if explicitly requested.

Cross-Skill Integration

| From Skill | To sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | When | |------------|------------------|------| | sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze | -> sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | "Analyze dependencies before building OmniScript" | | sf-industry-commoncore-datamapper | -> sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | "DataRaptor ready, build the OmniScript that uses it" | | sf-industry-commoncore-integration-procedure | -> sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | "IP ready, wire it into the OmniScript action" |

| From sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | To Skill | When | |--------------------|----------|------| | sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | -> sf-industry-commoncore-flexcard | "Build FlexCard that launches this OmniScript" | | sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | -> sf-deploy | "Deploy OmniScript to target org" | | sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | -> sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze | "Map full dependency tree before deployment" | | sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | -> sf-industry-commoncore-integration-procedure | "Need a new IP for this OmniScript action" | | sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript | -> sf-industry-commoncore-datamapper | "Need a DataRaptor for data prefill" |


Edge Cases

| Scenario | Solution | |----------|----------| | Multi-language OmniScript | Create separate versions per Language with shared Type/SubType. Use translation workbench for labels | | Embedded OmniScript data passing | Map parent data JSON keys to child OmniScript input via prefillJSON. Test data round-trip | | Large Loop Block datasets | Paginate or limit DataRaptor results. Consider server-side filtering in IP | | OmniScript in FlexCard flyout | Ensure FlexCard passes required context data. Test flyout sizing | | Community/Experience Cloud deployment | Verify OmniScript component is available in Experience Builder. Check guest user permissions | | Save & Resume (Save for Later) | Configure saveNameTemplate, saveExpireInDays. Test resume with partial data | | Versioning conflicts | Deactivate old version before activating new. Never have two active versions for same triplet | | Custom Lightning Web Components in OmniScript | Register LWC as OmniScript-compatible. Follow omniscript-lwc namespace conventions |

Debug: OmniScript not rendering -> check activation status + element hierarchy | Data not prefilling -> verify DataRaptor Extract output mapping + JSON path | IP action failing -> check IP independently first + verify input map | Steps not showing -> review conditional visibility expressions


Notes

Dependencies (required): sf-industry-commoncore-datamapper, sf-industry-commoncore-integration-procedure | Dependencies (optional): sf-deploy, sf-industry-commoncore-flexcard, sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze | API: 66.0 | Mode: Strict (warnings block) | Scoring: Block deployment if score < 67 | Reference docs: See references/ for element types and best practices

Creating OmniScripts programmatically: Use REST API (sf api request rest --method POST --body @file.json). Required fields: Name, Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber. OmniScripts default to IsIntegrationProcedure=false (do NOT set OmniProcessType — it is computed). The sf data create record --values flag cannot handle JSON textarea fields like PropertySetConfig. Create child OmniProcessElement records via REST API for each Step and element.
