## What it does

The skill manages Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web (MIAW) deployment files. For new API and Mobile deployments, it generates `EmbeddedServiceConfig` XML metadata. For Web deployments, it outputs Connect API request payloads because of a circular dependency between Network and CustomSite.

The target Salesforce org requires API version 67.0 or higher. You also need `python3` (>=3.8) and the `sf` CLI (>=2.0.0). The messaging channel must exist before running this workflow. The skill neither provisions the base channel nor generates the embedding JavaScript snippet for external sites.

During update operations, it retrieves the current configuration to adjust pre-chat forms, business hours, or branding references. Missing channel associations will cause the deployment process to fail.

## Requirements
- Works with: Salesforce

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install forcedotcom/sf-skills service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills --path skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add forcedotcom/sf-skills --skill service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/service-digital-engagement-deployment-configure/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- create new API or Mobile MIAW deployments with default settings
- generate Connect API payloads for new Web embedded service deployments
- update existing `EmbeddedServiceConfig` metadata with pre-chat forms
- link business hours and branding sets to chat deployments

## Example prompts
- Create a new Web Embedded Messaging deployment for channel Support_Channel
- Update the EmbeddedServiceConfig for Acme_Chat to add pre-chat form fields
- Generate the Mobile deployment XML for Mobile_Support

# Configuring Embedded Messaging Deployment

Configures `EmbeddedServiceConfig` metadata for Salesforce Messaging for In-App and Web (MIAW). Supports two distinct workflows: creating new deployments via Connect API and updating existing deployments via Metadata API.

## Scope

- **In scope**: Creating new Embedded Service Deployments (API, Mobile, Web types) via Connect API; updating existing deployments with forms, branding, channel settings, and features via Metadata API; generating `EmbeddedServiceConfig` XML for updates
- **Out of scope**: Creating the messaging channel itself (use `service-digital-engagement-channel-configure`), generating the website code snippet (offered only as a next step, see `references/code_snippet.md`), creating Experience Sites (Connect API prerequisite for Web type)

---

## Entry points and transport

- **Delegated** (`context.calledFrom == "service-onboarding"`): use the approved `values`, ask nothing, and return `failed` naming any missing required key. **Standalone** (no `context`): run Clarifying Questions.
