Accelerate Your AgentScript Migration - Community Tool for Agentforce
Migrating to Salesforce's new AgentScript format? A community tool can now generate 85% of your migration code automatically!
Salesforce's AgentScript is powerful, but migrating existing UI-based agents can feel overwhelming. This new community tool in GenAI Explorer helps teams adopt AgentScript faster by automatically generating production-ready YAML from your existing Agentforce configurations.
TLDR;โ
Here is a 30s demo
๐ฏ The AgentScript Migration Challengeโ
Salesforce's AgentScript represents a major shift in how we build agents - from UI-based configuration to code-based development. While this brings huge benefits (version control, code review, CI/CD), the migration path isn't straightforward:
| Challenge | Impact |
|---|---|
| ๐ Learning Curve | New YAML syntax and patterns to master |
| โฐ Time Investment | 4-6 hours per agent for manual migration |
| ๐ Error-Prone | Easy to make syntax mistakes |
| ๐ Repetitive Work | Copying topics, actions, variables manually |
| ๐ค Team Adoption | Getting everyone comfortable with the new approach |
Result: Many teams delay adopting AgentScript because migration feels like too much work.
๐ก How This Community Tool Helpsโ
The AgentScript Migration Tool in GenAI Explorer bridges this gap by:
โ Accelerating Migration (85% Automated)โ
Generate complete agent scripts automatically from your UI configurations:
- Config and system blocks
- All variables converted to YAML
- Initial topics routing logic (very basic, based on scope)
- Actions with parameters
- Proper Salesforce formatting
โ Teaching by Exampleโ
Learn AgentScript by seeing your own configurations converted:
- Study the generated structure
- Understand YAML patterns
- See how UI maps to code
- Learn best practices
โ Ensuring Spec Complianceโ
Generated code follows Salesforce Agent Script Recipes:
- Python-style booleans (
True/False) - Compact action notation
- Multi-line instruction format
- Proper protocol handling
๐ Migration Time Savingsโ
| Scenario | Manual Migration | With This Tool | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Agent | 4-6 hours | 30-45 minutes | ~85% |
| 10 Agents | 40-60 hours | 5-7 hours | ~1 week |
| Enterprise (50 agents) | 200-300 hours | 25-37 hours | ~1 month |
Plus reduced learning curve as team members learn from generated examples!
๐ How It Worksโ
Step 1: Open Your Agentโ
Navigate to any GenAI Planner Definition in GenAI Explorer.
Step 2: Generate AgentScriptโ
Click "Generate Agent Script" button.
Step 3: Study the Codeโ
Review the complete YAML structure - this is your learning opportunity!
Step 4: Add Business Logic (15%)โ
The generated script is 85% complete. You add:
- Detailed reasoning instructions
- Specific business rules
- Custom error handling
- Advanced routing logic
Step 5: Deploy & Testโ
Save to your project, deploy to sandbox, test thoroughly.
๐ Example: What Gets Generatedโ
Here's a simplified example of what the tool creates:
# Generated automatically from your Agentforce configuration
system:
instructions: "You are a helpful customer support assistant..."
messages:
welcome: "Hi there! How can I help you today?"
error: "Sorry, something went wrong..."
config:
developer_name: "customer_support_assistant"
default_agent_user: "agentforce@salesforce.com"
description: "Assists customers with orders and billing"
variables:
user_email: mutable string
order_id: mutable string = ""
verified: mutable boolean = False
start_agent topic_selector:
description: "Welcome and route to appropriate topic"
reasoning:
actions:
go_to_orders: @utils.transition to @topic.Orders
go_to_billing: @utils.transition to @topic.Billing
topic Orders:
description: "Handle order-related inquiries"
actions:
lookup_order:
description: "Look up order by ID"
inputs:
order_id: string
outputs:
order_summary: string
target: "flow://GetOrderDetails"
85% done! You just need to add detailed reasoning instructions.
๐ Why Community Tools Matterโ
Salesforce's AgentScript is the future of agent development, but the community needs practical support for adoption:
๐ค Bridge the Gapโ
Help teams transition without overwhelming complexity.
๐ Practical Learningโ
Learn by doing - see your configs transformed, not just reading docs.
โก Reduce Frictionโ
Make migration feel achievable instead of daunting.
๐ฏ Enable Innovationโ
Faster adoption = faster innovation with AgentScript's full capabilities.
๐ Understanding the New AgentScript Approachโ
Before (UI-Based)โ
- โ Click through Salesforce Setup
- โ No version control
- โ Hard to review changes
- โ Manual deployment
- โ Environment drift
After (AgentScript)โ
- โ Code in your IDE
- โ Git integration
- โ Standard code reviews
- โ CLI deployment
- โ Consistent across orgs
๐ ๏ธ Best Practices for Migrationโ
1. Start Smallโ
Begin with 1-2 non-critical agents:
- Learn the patterns
- Build team confidence
- Scale gradually
2. Use as Learning Toolโ
Study generated code to understand:
- YAML structure
- AgentScript patterns
- Best practices
- How UI maps to code
3. Migrate Progressivelyโ
Don't migrate everything at once:
- Pick simple agents first
- Test thoroughly
- Document learnings
- Train team members
4. Test Thoroughlyโ
Always test in sandbox:
- Compare behavior with UI version
- Validate all topics
- Check action parameters
- Test error scenarios
5. Embrace Code Practicesโ
Treat AgentScript like any code:
- Version control (Git)
- Code reviews
- Feature branches
- Documentation
๐ฏ What Makes This Differentโ
This isn't just code generation - it's a learning and migration accelerator:
| Traditional Approach | With Migration Tool |
|---|---|
| Read docs, write from scratch | See your config as AgentScript |
| Hours of syntax debugging | Spec-compliant from start |
| Manual copying of metadata | Automatic extraction |
| Trial and error learning | Learn from working examples |
| Each team member struggles | Share generated examples |
