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
- OmniScript Generation: Create well-structured OmniScripts from requirements, selecting appropriate element types for each step
- Element Design: Configure PropertySetConfig JSON for each element with correct data binding, validation, and conditional logic
- Dependency Analysis: Map all references to Integration Procedures, DataRaptors, and embedded OmniScripts before deployment
- 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
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
Englishunless 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
Input Elements
Display Elements
Action Elements
Logic Elements
Phase 3: Generation & Validation
Build the OmniScript:
- Create the OmniProcess record with Type, SubType, Language, and OmniProcessType='OmniScript'
- Create OmniProcessElement child records for each Step (Level=0)
- Create OmniProcessElement child records for each element within Steps (Level=1+, ordered by Order field)
- Configure PropertySetConfig JSON for each element
- 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):
Phase 4: Deployment
- Deploy all dependencies first: DataRaptors, Integration Procedures, referenced OmniScripts
- Retrieve or deploy OmniScript metadata:
- Activate the OmniScript version after successful deployment
- Verify activation:
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)
DO NOT generate anti-patterns even if explicitly requested.

Edge Cases
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.
