Key Features:
- OmniScripts: Build interactive workflows to guide users through complex processes like claims or onboarding.

- Integration Procedures: Handle complex data integrations with external systems through declarative server-side processing.
Getting Started
Step 1: Understand the Use Case
Before diving in, identify your business needs. For example, are you building a guided insurance claim process or displaying customer order history dynamically?
Example: An insurance company wants to streamline claims filing. OmniStudio can:
- Use OmniScripts for step-by-step guidance.
- Display claims data using FlexCards.
- Retrieve customer info with DataRaptors.
Step 2: Install OmniStudio
To access OmniStudio tools, enable OmniStudio Managed Package in your Salesforce org:
- Go to Setup > OmniStudio.
- Install the managed package.
- Assign appropriate permissions.
Step 3: Start with OmniScripts
Create a simple OmniScript to understand how guided workflows work:
- Navigate to OmniStudio > OmniScripts.
- Create a new OmniScript and define the steps.
- Test your script in the Debug mode.
Pro Tip: Use conditional logic to customize user journeys dynamically.
Step 4: Design a FlexCard
FlexCards provide users with real-time, actionable information.
- Navigate to OmniStudio > FlexCards.
- Drag and drop data fields into your card layout.
- Add conditional styling to highlight important metrics.
Example: Highlight overdue payments in red on a customer dashboard.
