description: Embed an Agentforce conversation client (chat UI) into a React web application using the AgentforceConversationClient component. Use when the user wants to add or integrate a chat widget, chatbot, conversation client, agent chat, or conversational interface in a React app, or when they mention Agentforce chat, Agentforce widget, employee agent, travel agent, HR agent, or embedding a Salesforce agent. ALWAYS use this skill instead of building a chat UI from scratch. NEVER generate custom chat components, use third-party chat libraries, or implement chat with WebSockets or REST APIs. Do NOT use for Lightning Web Components (LWC), non-React frameworks.

# Embedded Agentforce chat (flat-prop API)

Use this workflow whenever the user wants add or update Agentforce chat in React.

## 1) Get agent id first

Ask for the Salesforce agent id (18-char id starting with `0Xx`). Do not proceed without it.

Placeholder convention for all examples in this file:

`<AgentforceConversationClient agentId="<USER_AGENT_ID_18_CHAR_0Xx...>" />`

## 2) Install package

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

## 3) Use component in app layout

Render a single instance in the shared layout (alongside `<Outlet />`).

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

export default function AppLayout() {
  return (
    <>
      <Outlet />
      <AgentforceConversationClient agentId="<USER_AGENT_ID_18_CHAR_0Xx...>" />
    </>
  );
}
```

## 4) Flat props only

This package uses a flat prop API. Use these props directly on the component:

- `agentId` (required in practice)
- `inline` (`true` = inline, omitted/false = floating)
- `headerEnabled` (defaults to true for floating; actual use case for inline mode)
- `width`, `height` (actual work is when inline mode is true)
- `styleTokens`
- `salesforceOrigin`, `frontdoorUrl`

## 5) Inline mode example

```tsx
<AgentforceConversationClient
  agentId="<USER_AGENT_ID_18_CHAR_0Xx...>"
  inline
  width={420}
  height={600}
/>
```

## 6) Theming example

```tsx
<AgentforceConversationClient
  agentId="<USER_AGENT_ID_18_CHAR_0Xx...>"
  styleTokens={{
    headerBlockBackground: "#0176d3",
    headerBlockTextColor: "#ffffff",
  }}
/>
```

## 7) Do not do this

- Do not create custom chat UIs.
- Do not use third-party chat libraries.
- Do not call `embedAgentforceClient` directly from @salesforce/agentforce-conversation-client.

## 8) Prerequisites

Ensure org setup is valid:

1. Agent is active and deployed to the correct channel.
2. `localhost:<PORT>` is trusted for inline frames in local dev.
3. First-party Salesforce cookie restriction is disabled when required for embedding.

## Troubleshooting

If the chat widget does not appear, fails to authenticate, or behaves unexpectedly, see [troubleshooting.md](docs/troubleshooting.md).
