The newest developer sample app, Coral Cloud Resorts, is purpose-built to help developers get hands on with Agentforce and Data Cloud in a Salesforce org through real code and best practices. The app was created by Salesforce Developer Advocates and is part of a collection of sample apps and code examples available on the Salesforce Developers website.
What is Coral Cloud Resorts?
Coral Cloud Resorts is a sample hospitality application based on a fictional resort that uses data and AI to deliver highly personalized guest experiences. It presents different ways and benefits of bringing generative AI into business workflows, including new smart automation capabilities, content generation, and summarization.
The sample app covers three areas:
- Data Cloud
- Prompts
- Agents
The following diagram illustrates the data model that Coral Cloud Resorts implemented.
With that in mind, let’s dive into the details.
How Data Cloud is used in the sample app
The sample app covers various aspects of working with Data Cloud, specifically:
- Ingesting Contacts from Salesforce CRM
- Ingesting Guests and Reservations from Amazon S3
- Creating a Unified Profile from the various data sources with Identity Resolution
- Using Calculated Insights from Salesforce
The primary way to deploy Data Cloud metadata is by using a Data Kit, which is provided as part of the installation instructions. Once you follow the steps, you can dive deeper into the configuration using the dedicated Data Cloud deployment and configuration instructions.
How Prompt Templates are used in the sample app
The Coral Cloud sample app also covers the various options for prompt templates:
- Field Generation
- Sales Email
- Flex
Those prompt templates use merge fields, flows, or Apex for grounding. Prompts are then invoked by flows or Lightning web components, or referenced on record pages.
How agents are used in the sample app
The sample app also uses a combination of topics and custom actions to get you started on building agents with Agentforce.
Within the sample app, you can explore the different custom agent actions that make use of flows, Apex, and prompts.
Acknowledgments
I want to take the opportunity to thank the whole Developer Advocacy team that took on the work throughout the year to make this app happen, to refine it, to test it, and to make it open source.
What’s next for Coral Cloud Resorts?
This week, we delivered the first version of Coral Cloud Resorts. And we’ve only just begun! The team is working hard to expand its list of features to include things like how to use the Models API, how to integrate MuleSoft with agents, or how to implement Retrieval Augmented-Generation (RAG) with unstructured data in Data Cloud. The sample app will also serve as the foundation to help everyone better understand advanced concepts for AIOps and DataOps.
To get started with Coral Cloud Resorts, head over to Trailhead, sign up for your custom Trailhead Playground, and explore the sample app. And as everything is open-source, go to GitHub, star the app, and let us know what you want to see next.
