# Managing Agentforce Conversation Client

## Instructions

### Step 1: Check if component already exists

Search for existing usage across all app files (not implementation files):

```bash
grep -r "AgentforceConversationClient" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.jsx" --exclude-dir=node_modules
```

**Important:** Look for React files that import and USE the component (for example, shared shells, route components, or feature pages). Do NOT open files named `AgentforceConversationClient.tsx` or `AgentforceConversationClient.jsx` - those are the component implementation.

**If found:** Read the file and check the current `agentId` value.

**Agent ID validation rule (deterministic):**

- Valid only if it matches: `^0Xx[a-zA-Z0-9]{15}$`
- Meaning: starts with `0Xx` and total length is 18 characters

**Decision:**

- If `agentId` matches `^0Xx[a-zA-Z0-9]{15}$` and user wants to update other props → Go to Step 4 (update props)
- If `agentId` is missing, empty, or does NOT match `^0Xx[a-zA-Z0-9]{15}$` → Continue to Step 2 (need real ID)
- If not found → Continue to Step 2 (add new)

### Step 2: Get agent ID

If component doesn't exist or has an invalid placeholder value, ask user for their Salesforce agent ID.

Treat these as placeholder/invalid values:

- `"0Xx..."`
- `"Placeholder"`
- `"YOUR_AGENT_ID"`
- `"<USER_AGENT_ID_18_CHAR_0Xx...>"`
- Any value that does not match `^0Xx[a-zA-Z0-9]{15}$`

Skip this step if:

- Component exists with a real agent ID
- User only wants to update styling or dimensions

### Step 3: Canonical import strategy

Use this import path by default in app code:

```tsx
import { AgentforceConversationClient } from "@salesforce/webapp-template-feature-react-agentforce-conversation-client-experimental";
```

If the package is not installed, install it:

```bash
npm install @salesforce/webapp-template-feature-react-agentforce-conversation-client-experimental
```

Only use a local relative import (for example, `./components/AgentforceConversationClient`) when the user explicitly asks to use a patched/local component in that app.

Do not infer import path from file discovery alone. Prefer one consistent package import across the codebase.

### Step 4: Add or update component

**For new installations:**

Add to the target React component file using the canonical package import:

```tsx
import { Outlet } from "react-router";
import { AgentforceConversationClient } from "@salesforce/webapp-template-feature-react-agentforce-conversation-client-experimental";

export default function AgentChatHost() {
  return (
    <>
      <Outlet />
      <AgentforceConversationClient agentId="0Xx..." />
    </>
  );
}
```

**Fallback note:** Use a local relative import only when the user explicitly requests patched/local component usage in that app.

**For updates:**

Read the file where component is used and modify only the props that need to change. Preserve all other props. Never delete and recreate.

**Replacing placeholder values:**

If the component has a placeholder agentId (e.g., `agentId="Placeholder"` or `agentId="0Xx..."`), replace it with the real agent ID:

```tsx
// Before (template with placeholder)
<AgentforceConversationClient agentId="Placeholder" />

// After (with real agent ID)
<AgentforceConversationClient agentId="0Xx8X00000001AbCDE" />
```

### Step 5: Configure props

**Available props (use directly on component):**

- `agentId` (string, required) - Salesforce agent ID
- `inline` (boolean) - `true` for inline mode, omit for floating
- `width` (number | string) - e.g., `420` or `"100%"`
- `height` (number | string) - e.g., `600` or `"80vh"`
- `headerEnabled` (boolean) - Show/hide header
- `styleTokens` (object) - For all styling (colors, fonts, spacing)
- `salesforceOrigin` (string) - Auto-resolved
- `frontdoorUrl` (string) - Auto-resolved

**Examples:**

Floating mode (default):

```tsx
<AgentforceConversationClient agentId="0Xx..." />
```

Inline mode with dimensions:

```tsx
<AgentforceConversationClient agentId="0Xx..." inline width="420px" height="600px" />
```

Styling with styleTokens:

```tsx
<AgentforceConversationClient
  agentId="0Xx..."
  styleTokens={{
    headerBlockBackground: "#0176d3",
    headerBlockTextColor: "#ffffff",
    messageBlockInboundBackgroundColor: "#4CAF50",
  }}
/>
```

**For complex patterns,** consult `references/examples.md` for:

- Sidebar containers and responsive sizing
- Dark theme and advanced theming combinations
- Inline without header, calculated dimensions
- Complete host component examples

**For styling:** For ANY color, font, or spacing changes, use `styleTokens` prop only. See `references/style-tokens.md` for complete token list and examples.

**Common mistakes to avoid:** Consult `references/constraints.md` for:

- Invalid props (containerStyle, style, className)
- Invalid styling approaches (CSS files, style tags)
- What files NOT to edit (implementation files)

## Common Issues

If component doesn't appear or authentication fails, see `references/troubleshooting.md` for:

- Agent activation and deployment
- Localhost trusted domains
- Cookie restriction settings

## Prerequisites

Before the component will work, the following Salesforce settings must be configured by the user:

**Cookie settings:**

- Setup → My Domain → Disable "Require first party use of Salesforce cookies"

**Trusted domains (required only for local development):**

- Setup → Session Settings → Trusted Domains for Inline Frames → Add your domain
  - Local development: `localhost:<PORT>` (e.g., `localhost:3000`)
