OmniStudio Callable Apex Generate

Beta

Overview

Salesforce Industries Common Core (OmniStudio/Vlocity) Apex callable generation and review skill with 120-point scoring. Use when creating, reviewing, or migrating Industries callable Apex implementations. TRIGGER when: user creates or reviews System.Callable classes, migrates VlocityOpenInterface or VlocityOpenInterface2, or builds Industries callable extensions used by OmniStudio, Integration Procedures, or DataRaptors. DO NOT TRIGGER when: generic Apex classes or triggers (use platform-apex-generate), building Integration Procedures (use omnistudio-integration-procedure-generate), authoring OmniScripts (use omnistudio-omniscript-generate), configuring Data Mappers (use omnistudio-datamapper-generate), or analyzing namespace/dependency issues (use omnistudio-dependencies-analyze).

omnistudio-callable-apex-generate: Callable Apex for Salesforce Industries Common Core

Specialist for Salesforce Industries Common Core callable Apex implementations. Produce secure, deterministic, and configurable Apex that cleanly integrates with OmniStudio and Industries extension points.

Scope

  • In scope: Creating System.Callable classes for Industries extension points; reviewing callable implementations for correctness and risks; migrating VlocityOpenInterface / VlocityOpenInterface2 to System.Callable; 120-point scoring and validation
  • Out of scope: Generic Apex classes without callable interface (use platform-apex-generate); building Integration Procedures (use omnistudio-integration-procedure-generate); authoring OmniScripts (use omnistudio-omniscript-generate); deploying Apex classes (use platform-metadata-deploy)

Core Responsibilities

  1. Callable Generation: Build System.Callable classes with safe action dispatch
  2. Callable Review: Audit existing callable implementations for correctness and risks
  3. Validation & Scoring: Evaluate against the 120-point rubric
  4. Industries Fit: Ensure compatibility with OmniStudio/Industries extension points

Workflow (4-Phase Pattern)

Phase 1: Requirements Gathering

Ask for:

  • Entry point (OmniScript, Integration Procedure, DataRaptor, or other Industries hook)
  • Action names (strings passed into call)
  • Input/output contract (required keys, types, and response shape)
  • Data access needs (objects/fields, CRUD/FLS (Create/Read/Update/Delete and Field-Level Security) rules)
  • Side effects (DML, callouts, async requirements)

Then:

  1. Scan for existing callable classes: Glob: **/*Callable*.cls
  2. Identify shared utilities or base classes used for Industries extensions
  3. Create a task list

Phase 2: Design & Contract Definition

Define the callable contract:

  • Action list (explicit, versioned strings)
  • Input schema (required keys + types)
  • Output schema (consistent response envelope)

Recommended response envelope:

{
  "success": true|false,
  "data": {...},
  "errors": [ { "code": "...", "message": "..." } ]
}

Action dispatch rules:

  • Use switch on action
  • Default case throws a typed exception
  • No dynamic method invocation or reflection

VlocityOpenInterface / VlocityOpenInterface2 contract mapping:

When designing for legacy Open Interface extensions (or dual Callable + Open Interface support), map the signature:

invokeMethod(String methodName, Map<String, Object> inputMap, Map<String, Object> outputMap, Map<String, Object> options)
Parameter Role Callable equivalent
methodName Action selector (same semantics as action) action in call(action, args)
inputMap Primary input data (required keys, types) args.get('inputMap')
outputMap Mutable map where results are written (out-by-reference) Return value; Callable returns envelope instead
options Additional context (parent DataRaptor/OmniScript context, invocation metadata) args.get('options')

Design rules for Open Interface contracts:

  • Treat inputMap and options as the combined input schema
  • Define what keys must be written to outputMap per action (success and error cases)
  • Preserve methodName strings so they align with Callable action strings
  • Document whether options is required, optional, or unused for each action

Phase 3: Implementation Pattern

Vanilla System.Callable (flat args, no Open Interface coupling):

Read assets/pattern_callable_vanilla.cls before generating — use when callers pass flat args and no VlocityOpenInterface integration is required.

Callable skeleton (same inputs as VlocityOpenInterface):

Read assets/pattern_callable_openinterface.cls before generating — use inputMap and options keys in args when integrating with Open Interface or when callers pass that structure.

Input format: Callers pass args as { 'inputMap' => Map<String, Object>, 'options' => Map<String, Object> }. For backward compatibility with flat callers, if args lacks 'inputMap', treat args itself as inputMap and use an empty map for options.

Implementation rules:

  1. Keep call() thin; delegate to private methods or service classes
  2. Validate and coerce input types early (null-safe)
  3. Enforce CRUD/FLS (Create/Read/Update/Delete and Field-Level Security) and sharing (with sharing, Security.stripInaccessible())
  4. Bulkify when args include record collections
  5. Use WITH USER_MODE for SOQL when appropriate
  6. Namespace handling: System.Callable is a standard interface (no namespace prefix required); omnistudio.VlocityOpenInterface2 uses the managed omnistudio package namespace — always qualify it. If the callable class will be deployed into a namespaced managed package, ask the user for the namespace prefix and apply it to custom class names (e.g., myns__Industries_XxxCallable)

VlocityOpenInterface / VlocityOpenInterface2 implementation:

When implementing omnistudio.VlocityOpenInterface or omnistudio.VlocityOpenInterface2, use the signature:

global Boolean invokeMethod(String methodName, Map<String, Object> inputMap,
                           Map<String, Object> outputMap, Map<String, Object> options)

Read assets/pattern_openinterface.cls before generating — complete VlocityOpenInterface2 skeleton with switch on dispatch and outputMap contract.

Open Interface implementation rules:

  • Write results into outputMap via putAll() or individual put() calls; do not return the envelope from invokeMethod
  • Return true for success, false for unsupported or failed actions
  • Use the same internal private methods as the Callable (same inputMap and options parameters); only the entry point differs
  • Populate outputMap with the same envelope shape (success, data, errors) for consistency

Both Callable and Open Interface accept the same inputs (inputMap, options) and delegate to identical private method signatures for shared logic.


Phase 4: Testing & Validation

Minimum tests:

  • Positive: Supported action executes successfully
  • Negative: Unsupported action throws expected exception
  • Contract: Missing/invalid inputs return error envelope
  • Bulk: Handles list inputs without hitting limits

Read assets/pattern_test_class.cls — complete test class skeleton (positive, negative, contract, bulk, and null-args cases) before generating tests.


Migration: VlocityOpenInterface to System.Callable

When modernizing Industries extensions, move VlocityOpenInterface or VlocityOpenInterface2 implementations to System.Callable and keep the action contract stable.

Guidance:

  • Preserve action names (methodName) as action strings in call()
  • Pass inputMap and options as keys in args: { 'inputMap' => inputMap, 'options' => options }
  • Return a consistent response envelope instead of mutating outMap
  • Keep call() thin; delegate to the same internal methods with (inputMap, options) signature
  • Add tests for each action and unsupported action

Read assets/pattern_migration.cls — annotated before/after migration example (VlocityOpenInterface2 → System.Callable) before starting migration work.

Documentation 10 ApexDoc (/** ... */ block comments — Salesforce Apex documentation standard) for class and action methods

Thresholds: [PASS] 90+ (Ready) | [REVIEW] 70-89 (Review) | [BLOCK] <70 (Block)


Guardrails (Mandatory)

Stop and ask the user if any of these would be introduced:

  • Dynamic method execution based on user input (no reflection)
  • SOQL/DML inside loops
  • without sharing on callable classes
  • Silent failures (empty catch, swallowed exceptions)
  • Inconsistent response shapes across actions

Gotchas

Issue Resolution
Caller passes flat args but code expects inputMap key Guard defensively: if args lacks 'inputMap' key, treat args itself as the input map
call() receives null for args Always null-check args before accessing keys; initialize to empty map if null
Test class uses (Map<String, Object>) svc.call(...) but call returns a wrong type Ensure every action returns the same envelope type (Map<String, Object>) — mixed return types break callers
VlocityOpenInterface2 migration breaks callers that read outputMap by reference After migrating to Callable, callers must read the return value instead of reading outputMap — update all callers
IndustriesCallableException class missing in project This custom exception must be deployed alongside the callable class — include it in every deployment package
Org has both legacy Open Interface and new Callable wired to same action Only one entry point should be active at a time; disable the old interface after confirming the callable works

Common Anti-Patterns

  • call() contains business logic instead of delegating
  • Action names are unversioned or not documented
  • Input maps assumed to have keys without checks
  • Mixed response types (sometimes Map, sometimes String)
  • No tests for unsupported actions

Output Expectations

Deliverables produced by this skill:

  • <ClassName>.cls — Callable class implementing System.Callable with switch on action dispatch
  • <ClassName>Test.cls — Test class with positive, negative, contract, and bulk test methods
  • IndustriesCallableException.cls — Custom exception class (if not already present in the project)

Notes

  • Prefer deterministic, side-effect-aware callable actions
  • Keep action contracts stable; introduce new actions for breaking changes
  • Avoid long-running work in synchronous callables; use async when needed
