RecordActionDeployment

Represents configuration settings for the Actions & Recommendations component. For example, you can have a deployment that specifies which types of actions to display, default actions for channels, and the actions that users can add at runtime. If the component shows Next Best Action recommendations, the deployment configures which strategies to use and how recommendations appear. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

File Suffix and Directory Location

RecordActionDeployment values are stored in the developer_name.deployment file in the recordActionDeployments directory.

We don’t recommend programmatically changing the API name of a RecordActionDeployment.

Note

Version

RecordActionDeployment is available in API version 45.0 and later.

Fields

Field Name	Field Type	Description
channelConfigurations	RecordActionDeploymentChannel	Specifies configuration settings for different channels in an Actions & Recommendations deployment.
deploymentContexts	RecordActionDeploymentContext	Specifies the object context for quick actions and Next Best Action strategies. Available in API version 46.0 and later.
hasGuidedActions	boolean	Specifies that the component shows standard actions; for example, flows and quick actions. Available in API version 46.0 and later.
hasRecommendations	boolean	Specifies that the component shows recommendations from a Next Best Action strategy. Available in API version 46.0 and later.
masterLabel	string	Required. Specifies the name of the deployment.
recommendation	RecordActionRecommendation	Specifies settings for how Next Best Action recommendations appear in the component. Available in API version 46.0 and later.
selectableItems	RecordActionSelectableItem	Specifies the actions that users can add at runtime.
shouldLaunchActionOnReject	boolean	Required. If `true`, launch the flow when the recommendation is rejected  by the agent. Available in API version 48.0 and later.

RecordActionDefaultItem

Represents actions and attributes specified as channel defaults in a deployment.

Field Name	Field Type	Description
action	string	Required. Specifies the API name of an action. For example, the API name of a flow, such as `Verify_Information`.
isMandatory	boolean	Specifies whether the action is marked as mandatory. The default value is false.
isUiRemoveHidden	boolean	Specifies whether the remove option is hidden in the UI. The default value is false. If true, the UI hides the ability to remove the action from the list.
pinned	PinnedAction (enumeration of type string)	Required. Indicates whether the action is pinned to the `Top` or `Bottom`, or unpinned (`None`). The default value is `None`.
position	int	Required. Indicates the order of the action among all actions associated with this record.
type	RecordActionType (enumeration of type string)	Required. The type of action that’s associated with the record. Valid values are: `Flow` `QuickAction` (Available in API version 46.0 and later.)

RecordActionDeploymentChannel

Specifies channel-specific defaults to show in the Actions & Recommendations component. The component displays the channel defaults when the list is otherwise empty.

Field Name	Field Type	Description
channel	ChannelSource (enumeration of type string)	Required. Specifies the channel. Valid values are `Phone`, `Chat`, or `Default`.
channelItems	RecordActionDefaultItem	Specifies default actions for a channel and attributes for each action, such as whether the action is pinned to the list top or bottom or whether an action is considered mandatory.
isAutopopEnabled	boolean	Specifies whether the first action in the list is launched when the record page opens. If true, the first action is launched. The default value is false.

RecordActionDeploymentContext

Specifies an object that provides context for quick actions and Next Best Action strategies. When the component appears on this type of page, it includes object-specific quick actions and uses an object-specific strategy to filter recommendations. Available in API version 46.0 and later.

We support a maximum of 10 objects that provide context within a deployment.

Note

Field Name	Field Type	Description
entityName	string	Required. Specifies the API name of an object to use as context.
recommendationStrategy	string	Specifies the API name of a Next Best Action strategy that overrides the default strategy on this page. A strategy is a metadata type RecommendationStrategy.

RecordActionRecommendation

Specifies settings to display Next Best Action recommendations in the component. Available in API version 46.0 and later.

Field Name	Field Type	Description
defaultStrategy	string	Specifies the API name of the default Next Best Action strategy, which is a metadata type RecommendationStrategy.
hasDescription	boolean	Required. If `true`, display the description for the recommendation.
hasImage	boolean	Required. If `true`, display the image for the recommendation.
hasRejectAction	boolean	Required. If `true`, display the label that the user clicks to reject the recommendation.
hasTitle	boolean	Required. If `true`, display the title for the recommendation.
maxDisplayRecommendations	int	Required. Specifies the maximum number of recommendations to display. Valid values are 1–4.

RecordActionSelectableItem

Represents the set of actions available for users to add to the component at runtime.

Field Name	Field Type	Description
action	string	Required. Specifies the API name of an action. For example, the API name of a flow, such as `Verify_Information`.
