iOS Configuration Overview
The Agentforce iOS SDK provides a comprehensive configuration system that enables fine-grained control over agent behavior, UI customization, and system integration. The configuration system is built around the central AgentforceConfiguration
class, which serves as the primary configuration hub for all SDK functionality.
The configuration system follows a hierarchical structure with clear separation of concerns:
- AgentforceConfiguration - Central configuration hub with all SDK settings and dependencies
- EmployeeAgentConfiguration - Employee-specific agent behavior and settings
- ServiceAgentConfiguration - Service agent configuration for customer interactions
- AgentforceFeatureFlagSettings - Feature flag management for A/B testing and gradual rollouts
- AgentforcePageContext - Page context information for contextual agent behavior
- AgentforcePageContextProviding - Protocol for providing page context data
The SDK supports two primary agent types with specialized configuration:
- Internal Use Cases: Employee assistance and productivity tools
- Access Control: Role-based access and permissions
- Integration: Deep integration with Salesforce org data
- Customization: Employee-specific UI and behavior preferences
- Customer Interactions: External customer support and service
- Brand Consistency: Customer-facing branding and messaging
- Escalation Handling: Service agent escalation workflows
- Compliance: Customer data protection and privacy controls
- Data Provider: Custom data access and Salesforce integration
- Image Provider: Image loading and caching strategies
- Analytics Handler: Analytics and instrumentation integration
- Theme Manager: Visual theming and customization
- Salesforce Network: HTTP communication and network abstraction
- Navigation Handler: App navigation integration
- Logging Provider: Diagnostic and debugging information
- Feature Flags: Dynamic feature toggling and experimentation
- Debug Settings: Development and debugging capabilities
- Performance Tuning: System optimization and resource management
