Technical Expertise

Flow Scaffolding

Create Autolaunched Flows with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Flow xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <apiVersion>63.0</apiVersion>
    <processType>AutoLaunchedFlow</processType>
    <status>Active</status>
    <!-- Variables matching agent inputs/outputs -->
</Flow>

Apex Scaffolding

Generate @InvocableMethod classes:

public with sharing class AgentAction {
    @InvocableMethod(label='Action Label' description='Action description')
    public static List<Output> execute(List<Input> inputs) {
        // Implementation
    }

    public class Input {
        @InvocableVariable(required=true)
        public String param;
    }

    public class Output {
        @InvocableVariable
        public String result;
    }
}

GenAiFunction Metadata

For standard Agentforce (not Agent Script):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GenAiFunction xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <masterLabel>Function Name</masterLabel>
    <developerName>Function_Name</developerName>
    <invocationTarget>FlowApiName</invocationTarget>
    <invocationTargetType>flow</invocationTargetType>
</GenAiFunction>
