Service Omni Channel Setup Coordinate
Overview
Use to stand up Omni-Channel headlessly: base settings, users, service channels, routing configs, queues and members, presence statuses, permissions, supervisor configuration, and Case or VoiceCall routing flows. Reuses existing records and creates missing ones. Optional stages cover Command Center V2 on supported releases, agent experience, and skills-based routing. TRIGGER when: set up Omni-Channel, configure Omni routing, provision Omni agents, provision Omni supervisors, or configure Case, Incident, MessagingSession, or VoiceCall routing. Do not use for Agentforce bots, one existing field change, or bare metadata deployment.
service-omni-channel-setup-coordinate
Align an org toward a working Omni-Channel setup: detect what already exists and create or deploy only the missing pieces, up to a routed environment with agents, queues, presence statuses, and permissions. Full create-and-bind routing (queue + QueueRoutingConfig + outbound routing flow) is provided for Case and VoiceCall; Incident and MessagingSession are verified/adopted only by this coordinator — it reports their state and reuses existing config but does not create a missing queue/QRC/flow for them (use service-agentforce-human-escalation-configure for a created-and-bound MessagingSession handoff). This is a coordinator — it sequences the child leaf skills against a canonical set of steps and performs no writes of its own. Each leaf owns one primitive; the coordinator resolves per-org IDs, passes them between leaves, and enforces a shared reuse-vs-create and safety contract. It blocks with a click-path only for prerequisites an operator must action (a missing feature license, or a target sObject that is not enabled).
python3 is listed only because the bundled contract tests (scripts/tests/test_omni_contracts.py) use it; running the coordinator itself needs only jq and sf.
Inputs
Confirm these once, up front, before any write:
- Agent count (default
3, range1..10) and supervisor count (default1, range1..5). - Real login email (used for password-reset flows).
routing_targets(default["Case"]) — any subset ofCase | Incident | MessagingSession | VoiceCall. OnlyCaseandVoiceCallget full create-queue + QRC + routing-flow;IncidentandMessagingSessionare verified/adopted (report-only).- Service-channel strategy — reuse standard (
Cases,sfdc_livemessage, default) or create a custom channel. - Agent/supervisor profile — the driver provisions users on the
Service Cloud Userprofile by default (Omni needs a Service Cloud license). Some orgs ship that license under a differently named profile (e.g.Service Cloud); override viaOMNI_AGENT_PROFILE/OMNI_SUPERVISOR_PROFILEwithout editing the script. The user-create leaves block if the named profile is absent. - Runtime proof (optional) —
OMNI_RUNTIME_PROOF=1makes the routing-flow leaf fire the trigger (fail-soft);OMNI_RUNTIME_PROOF_REQUIRED=1makes proof blocking. QueueBased proof requiresPendingServiceRoutingorAgentWork. SkillsBased proof requires aPendingServiceRoutingwith at least oneSkillRequirement, which is the acceptance signal thatWorkSkillRoutingactually ran. The throwaway record is always cleaned up. - Queue selection (optional) — set
OMNI_CASE_QUEUE_DEVELOPER_NAME,OMNI_VOICE_QUEUE_DEVELOPER_NAME,OMNI_INCIDENT_QUEUE_DEVELOPER_NAME, orOMNI_MESSAGING_QUEUE_DEVELOPER_NAMEwhen the target must use a specific existing or canonical queue. Without an override, each leaf uses its target-derived default. - Routing-config selection (optional) — set
OMNI_CASE_ROUTING_CONFIG_DEVELOPER_NAMEorOMNI_VOICE_ROUTING_CONFIG_DEVELOPER_NAMEto select an existing QRC explicitly. When only a queue override is supplied, the coordinator first adopts that queue's linkedQueueRoutingConfig.DeveloperName; it creates the canonical QRC only when the queue has no linked config. - Queue routing controls (optional) —
OMNI_QRC_PUSH_TIMEOUTsets the agent acceptance timeout andOMNI_QRC_CAPACITY_PERCENTAGEselects percentage capacity (for example,100for a VoiceCall that consumes the agent's full capacity). The coordinator passes both values to every QRC target. - Routing mode —
OMNI_ROUTING_TYPE=QueueBased|SkillsBasedis optional. When all fourOMNI_WSR_ENTITY/OMNI_WSR_FIELD/OMNI_WSR_SKILL/OMNI_WSR_VALUEinputs are supplied, the coordinator infersSkillsBased; otherwise it defaults toQueueBased. SkillsBased usesOMNI_SKILL_OPTION=RunSBRRules(the default), binds the provisioned agents toOMNI_SBR_SKILL(defaults toOMNI_WSR_SKILL), authors the WorkSkillRouting rule, and only then activates the flow. An incomplete mapping or mismatched SBR/WSR skill is rejected before any write.OMNI_WSR_LABELoptionally names the rule. - Rep-experience stages (optional, default off) —
OMNI_REP_EXPERIENCE=1adds presence user config (decline + decline reason + ACW) and the Omni sidebar.OMNI_CONSOLE_APP=<app DeveloperName>targets a specific console app; empty auto-detects one. - Supervisor surface (always, after the config) — once
OmniSupervisorConfigexists, the coordinator populates its standard action + tab surface (OmniSupervisorConfigAction/OmniSupervisorConfigTab) via the Data API. Just before the classic config deploy it also runs a read-only Command Center analysis that reports whether the org is on the classic surface or Command Center V2. - Supervisor-config selection (optional) — set
OMNI_SUPERVISOR_CONFIG_DEVELOPER_NAMEto the exact classicOmniSupervisorConfig.DeveloperNamethat both the config and surface stages must reconcile. It defaults toOmni_Supervisor; use the override whenever the org has multiple configs so the coordinator never guesses.OMNI_SUPERVISOR_CONFIG_MASTER_LABELoptionally supplies the label when creating a new selected config.
Run it in plan or run mode:
bash scripts/integration-driver.sh --plan <org-alias> [agent_count] [routing_targets_csv] [supervisor_count]
bash scripts/integration-driver.sh --run <org-alias> [agent_count] [routing_targets_csv] [supervisor_count]
--plan is a full read-only preview: each leaf runs its own detector and reports reused, action_needed, or blocked; a leaf whose prerequisite is not yet in place is reported as pending work rather than probed, so a plan never shows a misleading red for a step that is simply earlier in the sequence. A clean plan (all reused, exit 0) means the org is already configured; any yellow (exit 2) means work remains.
Preconditions and safety
- Authenticated org via
sfCLI using the My Domain URL (not.lightning.force.com). - Service Cloud license with headroom for the agent count.
Incidenttargets require the Incident Management feature enabled;MessagingSessionrequires Enhanced Messaging;VoiceCallrequires Service Cloud Voice. The readiness check hard-fails with a click-path when a requested target sObject is absent.- Production guardrail:
safe_to_writeistrueiff any ofIsSandbox = true,TrialExpirationDate != null, orOrganizationType IN ('Developer Edition', 'Base Edition'). The run hard-refuses when it is false. CDOs returnIsSandbox=falsewith a non-nullTrialExpirationDateand must be permitted, soIsSandboxalone is never the guard.
Readiness check (mandatory, before any write leaf runs):
sf org display→ confirm the org alias is authenticated; refuse (exit 1) if not.Organization(IsSandbox,TrialExpirationDate,OrganizationType) → computesafe_to_write; refuse (exit 1) if false.service-omni-channel-inventory-analyze→ capture the complete channel/routing baseline through the approved read-only aggregate operation; a blocked inventory prevents writes because the coordinator cannot safely establish the starting state.- Preflight entity availability → for each non-
Caserouting target, confirm the sObject exists viaEntityDefinition; a missing target hard-fails with a feature-enablement click-path (exit 2).Caseis assumed present and skipped.
Omni-Channel base-settings enablement is not a separate upfront probe — it is detected by the base-settings leaf (step 1), and downstream Omni-dependent leaves are deferred as pending in --plan until it is on. The driver does not pre-check UserLicense headroom or ServicePresenceStatus/QueueRoutingConfig availability in this readiness pass.
Skills this coordinates
The coordinator delegates every write to a leaf skill. sObject-specific leaves (3, 5, 6, 6c, 7) loop once per routing target; the rest run once. For SkillsBased routing, steps 6a and 6b complete before any trigger flow is activated. Step 10a (command-center-configure) is opt-in through OMNI_COMMAND_CENTER_V2=1; step 10b (command-center-analyze) is a read-only advisory and always runs. Step 11a (supervisor-surface-deploy) always runs after the supervisor config succeeds. Leaves 12–13 are the opt-in rep-experience stages (OMNI_REP_EXPERIENCE=1).

Behavior
Reuse-vs-create contract (enforced for every entity). Query by DeveloperName (or the natural key); reuse a standard record when present (Cases, sfdc_livemessage); create from the leaf's bundled definition when nothing exists; reconcile idempotently when a same-named custom record exists — never duplicate, rename, or mutate the identity of a standard or managed record.
Ordering and gating. Leaves run in dependency order. Base settings are a hard prerequisite for every write below. For SkillsBased routing, agent SkillUser bindings (6a) and the WorkSkillRouting rule (6b) must succeed before the routing-flow leaf (6c) can activate the trigger. The flow also requires the queue (5) and its members (6), and it round-trips FlowDefinitionView.ActiveVersionId to prove the flow is Active. A required runtime proof does not pass merely because a PSR exists: SkillsBased requires at least one SkillRequirement on that PSR.
Supervisor path. Supervisor users (9) use the same Anonymous Apex System.setPassword model as agent users. Because a password literal can be captured in an ApexLog when a debug TraceFlag is active, both user-create leaves fail closed before the first System.setPassword: they prove via a SOQL-filtered Tooling API query (ExpirationDate > now) that no active TraceFlag exists for the running user, and if that cannot be positively proven they set no password at all (users left ACTIVE and reset_required, with a security_warning). They never delete logs, so unrelated audit logs are untouched. The supervisor permset leaf (10) assigns the standard ContactCenterSupervisor — never the custom Omni_Supervisor, whose license-gated permissions fail assignment — and a contract test asserts this wiring. With OMNI_COMMAND_CENTER_V2=1, the coordinator enables and verifies the V2 org preference through service-omni-command-center-configure; optional OMNI_COMMAND_CENTER_* booleans select its subordinate controls. A read-only Command Center analysis then reports the resulting supervisor surface and never hard-blocks (ambiguous detection is yellow, a clean read green). Once the classic config lands (11), the surface leaf (11a) inserts the standard action + tab companions (OmniSupervisorConfigAction / OmniSupervisorConfigTab) against the config's Id — plain Data API rows, so no metadata-file redeploy — and is idempotent (only missing types are inserted). It runs only after the config succeeds; a skipped or failed config skips the surface with a dependency note.
Optional rep-experience stages. With OMNI_REP_EXPERIENCE=1, presence user config (12) deploys a validator-safe PresenceUserConfig with its decline reason and assigns every resolved agent username, including reused users. Sidebar (13) pins the Omni utility region on OMNI_CONSOLE_APP, or auto-detects a single console app. SkillsBased routing is not a cosmetic rep-experience stage: when requested, its SkillUser and WorkSkillRouting prerequisites run before flow activation.
Login-behavior gap. The login-behavior radio (Setup → Omni-Channel Settings → "Define login behavior when an agent opens a new window/tab") has no public API on v66. After base settings deploy, the coordinator surfaces the exact click-path; it does not attempt to flip it via enableOmniAutoLoginPrompt, which deploys but does not drive the radio. See references/gap-catalog.md.
Credentials. Generated passwords are moved into a single restricted CREDENTIALS.json (mode 0600) and redacted from every other artifact. The write is atomic and fail-closed: on any redaction or verification failure the plaintext artifact is removed and the run aborts, so no plaintext password is left in the artifacts directory. The operator reads CREDENTIALS.json once, distributes securely, then deletes it.
Output contract
The one deliverable is a single report file. As the final action you MUST use the Write tool to save the complete report to omni-coordinate-report.md in the current working directory — never deliver it only in chat. In --run mode it states what is (created resource, reused standard record, resolved decision) — no hedging. In --plan mode it states each leaf's honest disposition (reused / action_needed / pending) plus the coordinator's plan JSON (dry_run: true). Each leaf also writes its full JSON outcome (including every created record Id and deploy Id) to a per-skill artifact under the run's artifacts directory — that is the audit trail; user-facing output uses human-readable names, not record Ids. See examples/output-templates.md for the report shape.
Run artifacts (run mode). Alongside the per-skill artifacts, a --run writes three files into the run's artifacts directory (paths echoed in the report JSON as run_log, deploy_ids_file, teardown_script): run.log (sanitized, human-readable step sequence and result), deploy_ids.json (a provenance manifest — each entry's provenance is created / updated / reused, with resource ids, a before snapshot, and a pointer to the authoritative per-skill artifact), and teardown.sh (an auto-generated, dry-run reverse-dependency-order plan). The teardown script prints what a teardown would REMOVE (run-created), RESTORE (updated, with prior values), or KEEP (adopted/reused — never deleted) and makes no changes; destructive execution stays manual by design (see Limitations).
Report content rules:
- Report concrete outcomes, never intentions.
- Surface the login-behavior click-path whenever setup ran, even if the operator declined to turn the radio.
- Surface any hard fail from step 5 (no queue bound) as a manual action with a click-path.
Limitations
- Routing-flow deploy covers
CaseandVoiceCallonly. - Classic
OmniSupervisorConfig, including its standard action and tab surface, is supported. Command Center V2 is an explicit opt-in (OMNI_COMMAND_CENTER_V2=1) and runs only when the org's Metadata API exposes the V2 settings; otherwise the configure leaf fails closed. Custom actions, FlexiPages, AWS dashboards, and AI-agent surfaces still need external references and separate setup. - The rep-experience stages (presence user config, decline reasons, sidebar) run only with
OMNI_REP_EXPERIENCE=1. SkillsBased routing is selected explicitly or inferred from a completeOMNI_WSR_*mapping and runs independently of that flag. - Teardown is plan-only:
--runemitsdeploy_ids.json(a provenance manifest) and a dry-runteardown.shthat prints the reverse-order removal/restore plan, but does not execute destructive changes. Automated reversal is deliberately deferred until every leaf emits a normalized provenance block and the reversal is validated live — metadata-deployed components need destructiveChanges deploys and adopted records must never be deleted. Reversal today is a manual operator task guided by the plan and the per-skill artifacts.
Detailed coverage and known headless gaps are maintained in references/gap-catalog.md. In short, Case routing is fully coordinated; VoiceCall needs a provisioned voice runtime; Incident and generic MessagingSession routing are adopted rather than created; and Omni Inbox or external supervisor surfaces remain outside this workflow.
