Update a Flow, Agent Action, and Subagent

Beyond prompt template customizing, Coral Cloud Resorts needs additional information added to its agent, which requires adjustment to flows, actions, and subagents. As it pertains to agents, subagents are categories of actions related to particular jobs to be done—these actions dictate what agents do. Actions can be based on flows, prompt templates, and more.

Basically, subagents contain actions, and actions can use flows to execute tasks. And even after subagents, actions, and flows are initially created and connected, they can always be edited or updated.

Update the Get Experience Details Flow

A flow can be triggered by an agent when it needs to retrieve some information. That means the agent uses this flow when it needs it. The Get Experience Details flow currently returns details about Coral Cloud Resorts experiences, but not the price of the experience. Here’s how to fix that.

In the Setup Quick Find box, search for and select Flows.
Scroll down and select the flow named Get Experience Details.
Click the Get Experience by Name element.

Get Experience by Name element.

On the right, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Add Field button.
In the Field box, enter price, then select Price__c from the list.

Price__c field added to the element.

Click on the Assign Experience Record element. If necessary, click the x to close the Einstein window to be able to click the Assign Experience Record element.

Assign Experience Record element.

Change the Description to: Assign an Experience__c record for presentation back to the user with details about the requested experience.
Click Save As New Version then click Save in the Save As dialog box.
Click Activate.
Click the back arrow in Flow Builder to get back to Setup.

back arrow highlighted.

Update the Corresponding Agent Action

The Get Experience Details flow is updated, so the corresponding agent action now needs to be updated.

Click and click Setup.
In the Setup Quick Find, enter and select Agentforce Assets.
Click on the Actions tab.
Select the Get Experience Details action.
Scroll down to the Output, click the pencil icon next to the instructions for the output variable called experienceRecord.
Enter the new instructions: Assign an Experience__c record for presentation back to the user with details about the requested experience.

This line of text was updated in Flow Builder. When creating a new action, the descriptions from the flow automatically get pulled in as input and output instructions. But since this is an existing action, the instructions need to be manually updated.

Click Save.

Import a New Agent with Agent Builder

One of the many benefits of Agentforce Builder is its portability. This portability means users can quickly share agents across teams or environments and build on proven patterns without starting from scratch. Coral Cloud Resorts has an agent that they would like you to build upon. Follow the import using Agent Script directions to add the already configured agent.

Click to open the App Launcher, then search for and select Agentforce Studio.
Click the down arrow next to New Agent and select New from Script.

New Script button highlighted.

Paste in the following. (Use the copy icon in the corner of the script.)

Update the Topic Instructions

Agentforce Builder comes with a built-in AI assistant that is specifically built to help users assemble an agent via natural language. In this case, the subagent needs to know what details it can get from the actions. Adding instructions to the subagent makes that happen.

In AI assistant in Agentforce pane on the right, enter the following: Add two additional instructions to the Customer Experience Support subagent: 1.If asked about an experience Name, Description, Activity Level, Type or Price, then call {!@actions.Get_Experience_Details}. 2.If asked to recommend experiences that a user might be interested in, use {!@actions.Generate_Personalized_Schedule} to generate a schedule based on the contacts interests. Use the contact record from {!@actions.Get_Customer_Details} and pass it into the Contact input.
Click Accept All.

These are examples of being very specific about which action to use when certain subagents are requested. This is one way to put guardrails on the agent, while still letting the AI interpret a user’s request to decide if what they’re requesting is something about an experience at the resort.

Click Save.
Click Commit Version and then click Commit Version again to confirm.
Click Activate and then click Activate again to confirm.

Test the Updates

Now that the flow, action, and subagent are updated, you can see all the moving parts of the agent in action. The preview tab gives insight on how the agent builds a plan and executes actions based on user interactions. As interactions happen with the agent, the Interaction Details panel displays exactly what the agent is executing.

Click the Preview tab.

Preview tab highlighted.

Click the Live Test Mode drop down at the top of the pane and select Simulate Mode. Note: Live Test Mode works with live data. Simulate Mode does not affect live data.
Click Switch.
Enter this prompt to get it started: Tell me more about the Guided Nature Walk.

Note: Price is now included in the response because the price field was added to the Get Experience Details flow.

Prompt the agent to book 2 people for a Guided Nature Walk for tomorrow and pick one of the times presented to complete the booking.
After the agent responds, enter the next prompt: I am sofiarodriguez@example.com and my membership number is 10008155.
Feel free to ask: Can you generate a personalized schedule of experiences for today? Note: this response uses Sofia’s already known interests and is formatted according to the Prompt Template model you adjusted earlier.

Prompts, prompt templates, models, subagents, actions, flows—all these features customize the agent to meet Coral Cloud Resorts’ unique needs. The agent can now provide quick, personalized responses and answer routine inquiries.

It’s only fitting to prompt AI to summarize everything covered in these two units:

Prompt: Summarize this Trailhead badge.

Response: By following these steps, the Coral Cloud Resorts agent can better manage customer interactions autonomously, retrieve accurate resort information, and handle a wide range of inquiries. This enhances customer service efficiency, providing quick and consistent responses while reducing the workload on human agents.
