    Employee Service (ITSM) Channels Setup Coordinator

    Interactive coordinator that presents a menu of ITSM channel setup options and delegates to the appropriate child skill based on user selection.

    Scope

    • In scope: Presenting the channel setup menu to the user. Delegating to child skills based on selection (Portal, Teams, Slack). Validating prerequisites before delegation. Providing clear descriptions of each channel capability.
    • Out of scope: Directly calling setup APIs for any channel — always delegate to the dedicated child skill. Channel-specific configuration details beyond the initial enablement. User permission assignment. Post-setup testing. ITSM notification preferences (a separate concern — handle those with the dedicated notification-preferences skill, not through this menu).

    Available Channel Setup Skills

    This coordinator can invoke three distinct channel setup skills:

    1. Portal Setup

    Skill: experience-portal-create

    What it does:

    • Creates a Digital Experience portal for employee self-service
    • Supports Employee Service, Partner, and Customer portals

    Prerequisites:

    • Vary by portal type

    Use when: User wants to create a portal for employee self-service.


    2. Microsoft Teams Setup

    Skill: service-itsm-teams-configure

    What it does:

    • Enables the service-cloud-itsm-teams-integration Salesforce Go feature via headless-360's feature-enablement Connect API — the only verified path that flips ITSMTeamsEnabled (direct PATCH of the org preference is blocked with 401)
    • Optionally enables the sibling OrgHasITSMFulfillerTeams / OrgHasEmployeeServiceTeams preferences
    • Verifies ITSMTeamsEnabled afterward and reports the remaining manual (Microsoft-side) steps

    Prerequisites:

    • Teams ITSM add-on licenses
    • Setup admin permissions

    Use when: User wants Microsoft Teams integration for IT Service Desk or Employee Service apps.

    Teams sub-skills service-itsm-teams-configure delegates to (surface these if the user asks for a specific half): service-itsm-teams-itdesk-configure (fulfiller/IT Desk checklist), service-itsm-teams-itservice-configure (employee/IT Service checklist), service-itsm-teams-employee-agent-configure (embedded "Ask AI Agent"), and service-itsm-teams-debug (diagnose a failing Teams setup — login, tab loading, agent, swarming, SSO). Swarming (collaborative problem-solving) is configured inside the Teams setup flow, not as a separate top-level channel option.


    3. Slack Setup

    Skill: the installed Slack ITSM setup skill — resolve it from the skills catalog at delegation time by name pattern (see Choice 3 in the workflow); do not hardcode a single skill name.

    What it does:

    • Enables Slack integration for ITSM (Employee Service / IT Service on Slack)
    • Configures the Slack workspace connection and required org preferences/permission sets

    Prerequisites:

    • Slack workspace with admin access
    • Org has Slack integration enabled

    Use when: User wants Slack integration for ITSM.


    Workflow

    Step 1: Present Menu to User

    Always present the menu before proceeding:

    I can help you set up ITSM channels. Which channel would you like to configure?
    
    **Choose one:**
    
    1. **Portal Setup**
       - Create Digital Experience portal for employee self-service
       - Choose portal type during setup
       - Prerequisites: Vary by portal type
    
    2. **Microsoft Teams Setup**
       - Enable Teams integration master toggle
       - Provision authentication infrastructure
       - Prerequisites: Teams ITSM licenses required
    
    3. **Slack Setup**
       - Enable Slack integration for ITSM
       - Configure Slack workspace connection
       - Prerequisites: Slack workspace with admin access
    
    Please respond with the number (1, 2, or 3) of your choice.
    

    Do NOT proceed until the user provides a choice.


    Step 2: Validate Prerequisites

    Based on user's choice, check prerequisites before delegating to child skills:

    For Choice 2 (Teams Integration):

    1. Check if Teams master toggle API is accessible
    2. Attempt to query current toggle state
    3. If prerequisites fail, inform user about missing Teams ITSM licenses

    If prerequisites fail:

    • Explain what's missing (licenses, features, permissions)
    • Offer alternative choices (e.g., suggest Slack if Teams licenses missing)
    • Do NOT attempt to execute the chosen configuration

    Step 3: Delegate to Child Skill

    Choice 1: Portal Setup

    Delegation:

    Invoke the experience-portal-create skill.
    

    The portal creation skill will handle all clarifying questions (portal type, name, URL prefix, etc.).

    After delegation: "Success: Portal setup delegated to experience-portal-create skill. Follow the prompts to complete portal creation."


    Choice 2: Microsoft Teams Setup

    Delegation:

    Invoke the service-itsm-teams-configure skill.
    

    On success: "Success: Microsoft Teams integration master toggle is enabled. Background provisioning in progress (2-5 minutes).

    Next steps:

    • Configure Azure AD application
    • Set up Salesforce IT Desk and/or IT Service apps"

    On failure: "Failed: Teams integration failed: [error details]

    Resolution:

    • Verify org has Teams ITSM licenses
    • Try option #3 (Slack) instead"

    Choice 3: Slack Setup

    Resolve the delegation target deterministically from the skills catalog, then invoke the result. Do not decide by prose guesswork — look the skill up:

    1. Query the installed skills catalog for a Slack ITSM setup skill, in priority order:
         a. any skill whose name matches ^service-itsm-slack-.*-configure$   (preferred)
         b. any skill whose name matches ^(setup|service)-.*slack.*(configure|enable)$
    2. If the lookup returns a skill → invoke that exact skill and stop.
    3. If the lookup returns nothing → fall through to the manual instructions below.
    

    Manual instructions (only if the catalog lookup returned no Slack skill): "No Slack ITSM setup skill is installed in this environment. To configure Slack manually:

    1. Navigate to: Setup → Integrations → Slack
    2. Connect your Slack workspace
    3. Configure Slack apps for ITSM"

    Decision Tree

    User requests ITSM channel setup
      ↓
    Present menu (3 options)
      ↓
    User selects option (1-3)
      ↓
    Validate prerequisites (optional)
      ↓
      ├─ Choice 1: Invoke experience-portal-create
      ├─ Choice 2: Invoke service-itsm-teams-configure
      └─ Choice 3: Resolve the Slack skill from the catalog, then invoke it (or manual instructions)
      ↓
    Report outcome to user

    Rules / Constraints

    ConstraintRationale
    Always present options before proceedingUser may not know what's possible or what their org supports
    Validate prerequisites before delegatingCatch licensing/feature gaps early before invoking child skills
    Notifications are not a menu optionITSM notification preferences are a separate concern; route those requests to the dedicated notification-preferences skill, not through this coordinator
    Swarming is configured inside Teams, not a top-level channelSwarming requires Teams; it is handled within the Teams setup flow (service-itsm-teams-configure), so it is not offered as a separate menu option
    Do not retry failed delegationsChild skills handle their own retries; surfacing error to user for decision
    Partial success is acceptableIf Teams succeeds but Slack fails, user can retry Slack separately

    Prerequisites by Choice

    Choice 1: Portal Setup

    • Vary by portal type (see experience-portal-create skill)

    Choice 2: Teams Setup

    • Teams ITSM licenses
    • Setup admin permissions

    Choice 3: Slack Setup

    • Slack workspace with admin access
    • Org has Slack integration enabled

    Error Handling

    If user provides invalid choice:

    "Please choose a valid option: 1, 2, or 3."

    If prerequisites check fails:

    "I've detected that your org is missing [specific requirement].

    I recommend choosing [alternative option] instead, which works with your current org configuration."

    If delegation fails:

    "The [child skill name] encountered an error: [error message]

    [Provide specific resolution steps based on error]"

    If user is unsure which to choose:

    "Let me help you decide:

    • Do you want a portal for employee self-service?

      • Digital Experience portal → Choose #1
    • Do you want to enable a communication channel?

      • Microsoft Teams → Choose #2
      • Slack → Choose #3
      • Both → Run #2, then #3"

    Related Operations

    After completing channel setup via this coordinator:

    • Configure channel-specific settings — customize each channel's behavior
    • Set up Azure AD — required for Teams (if Teams selected)
    • Configure ITSM notifications — use the dedicated notification-preferences skill (separate from this coordinator)
    • Test channels — verify each channel is working

    To modify later:

    • Enable additional channels — rerun this coordinator with different option
    • Disable channels — use corresponding disable skills
    • Update channel settings — navigate to Setup → [Channel] → Settings

    Embedded Agentforce Agent in Microsoft Teams

    Making the embedded Agentforce agent actually reply inside the Teams custom client ("Salesforce Employee Assist" / "Ask AI Agent") is the hardest, most under-documented part of Teams ITSM. It is now a dedicated skill:

    → service-itsm-teams-employee-agent-configure

    The verified architecture is a Web Enhanced-messaging channel with User Verification OFF (auth mode false) — the Teams client uses the scrt2 unauthenticated token endpoint — the Teams_AgentForce custom-client Embedded Service Deployment, an Omni-Flow routing flow targeting a real, Active Agentforce Employee Agent, and an Agent Access permission set enabling that agent for the portal user. That skill also covers the key diagnostic: "agent joins then leaves without replying" has two fixable causes — auth mode left ON (→ /eventrouter/v1/sse 401) and the portal user missing Agent Access — not an unfixable agent-runtime failure.


    API Type Classification

    This coordinator:

    • Does NOT call APIs directly — it delegates to child skills
    • Uses interactive menu for user selection
    • Child skills handle all API calls

    Child skills used:

    • experience-portal-create — Connect API
    • service-itsm-teams-configure — headless-360 (Salesforce Go feature-enablement Connect API)
    • Slack ITSM setup skill (resolved from catalog by name pattern) — child skill handles its own API calls

    Important Notes

    1. This is an interactive coordinator — it MUST present the menu and wait for user choice before executing anything.

    2. Always delegate to child skills — this coordinator doesn't implement channel-specific logic; it only routes to the appropriate skill.

    3. Some skills may not exist yet — if a skill is not found, provide manual setup instructions so the user isn't blocked.

    4. Notifications are handled elsewhere — ITSM notification preferences are not a channel-menu option; route those requests to the dedicated notification-preferences skill.

    5. Swarming lives inside Teams — Swarming is not a standalone menu option; it is configured within the Teams setup flow (service-itsm-teams-configure), since it requires Teams.

    6. Prerequisites vary by channel — each channel has different licensing and feature requirements.

    7. No retry logic — this coordinator doesn't retry failed operations. Surface the error and let user decide next steps.

    8. Educational role — help users understand what each channel does and which prerequisites they need.
