- service-de-channel-routing-configure
- description
- Configure routing on a newly-inserted Enhanced `MessagingChannel` so activation will accept it. Given a `{CHANNEL_ID}`, walks through picking a routing type (Omni-Channel Queue, Omni-Flow, Agentforce Service Agent, Digital Worker, or direct User), locates or provisions the target, then PATCHes `SessionHandlerId` (plus `FallbackQueueId` where required). Use between insertion and activation — activation fails server-side with `nullQueueId`/`LiveMessageSetupException` if no valid `SessionHandlerId` is set. Do not use for full end-to-end setup — use `service-de-headless-channel-configure`.

# Configuring Channel Routing
## What this skill does
Ensures a `MessagingChannel` has valid routing configured before activation. The channel's `SessionHandler` field is a **polymorphic foreign key** (verified against `MessagingChannel.entity.xml`, `domain="Queue, FlowDefinition, User, BotDefinition, AgenticCtxtDecorDefinition"`) — it names *who* the channel routes incoming sessions to. Some targets additionally require a `FallbackQueue` (an Omni-Channel Queue that catches sessions the primary target can't take).
These skills create **Enhanced** channels (`PlatformType=Enhanced`, SCRT2). All five SessionHandler domains are writable on Enhanced channels. (A Standard/SCRT1 channel would only accept a Flow as SessionHandler — the server rejects any other domain with "Only flows of type Omni-Channel are supported". These skills never create Standard channels, so that path isn't handled here.)
**Where this fits:** the channel is inserted by `service-de-channel-create` (or a per-type leaf); this skill sets routing; `service-de-channel-settings-configure` sets consent; then `service-de-channel-activate` flips it live — activation requires both routing and consent. The `service-de-headless-channel-configure` orchestrator runs all four in sequence.
Supported routing types — all set `SessionHandlerId`, some also set `FallbackQueueId`:
| Type | SessionHandler target | Id prefix | FallbackQueue |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Omni-Channel Queue** | `Group` (Type=Queue) | `00G` | must be **null** |
| **Omni-Flow** | `FlowDefinition` (ProcessType=RoutingFlow) | `300` | **required** |
| **Agentforce Service Agent (ASA)** | `BotDefinition` (Type=ExternalCopilot) | `0Xx` | **required** |
| **Digital Worker** | `AgenticCtxtDecorDefinition` | `1iE` | **required** |
| **User** | `User` (with a RoutingConfiguration) | `005` | must be **null** |
Provisioning behavior:
- **Queue** — pick an existing `MessagingSession`-capable Queue, or create a new Queue + QueueRoutingConfig via Metadata API.
- **Flow / ASA / Digital Worker / User** — locate an existing eligible target and PATCH it. These skills do **not** create Flows, bots, digital workers, or users — if none eligible exist, the skill reports the precondition and points the user at Setup.
## Reference File Index
| Reference file | Load when |
| --- | --- |
| `references/queue-creation.md` | The user picked "create a new queue" on the Queue routing path — full Metadata API scaffold → deploy → ID lookup → optional member add. |
| `references/target-locate.md` | You need the per-domain SOQL to locate and validate an eligible target (Queue, Flow, ASA, Digital Worker, User) and the FallbackQueue requirement matrix. |
| `references/asa-routing.md` | The user picked ASA (Agentforce Service Agent) routing — precondition check, enumerating live ASAs, and selection. |
| `references/gotchas.md` | Troubleshooting an unexpected result, or before modifying this skill — the known gotchas. |
| `references/worked-examples.md` | You want a reference run of the reuse-existing-queue, create-new-queue, Flow, or ASA paths. |
## When NOT to use this skill
- **The channel already has `SessionHandlerId` or `FallbackQueueId` set.** This skill revalidates the existing target before no-op. An ASA must still have a BotUser and an Active BotVersion; otherwise it reports `asa-target-inactive` and does not claim readiness.
- **The channel doesn't exist yet.** Run the insertion skill first; this skill expects a real `MessagingChannel.Id`.
- **You want to replace existing routing.** Safer to clear `SessionHandlerId` manually in the UI, then re-run this skill. The no-op check is a guardrail, not a limitation worth bypassing automatically.
## Inputs (from caller)
- `{CHANNEL_ID}` — a 15- or 18-char `MessagingChannel.Id` (prefix `0Mj`). The channel must already exist.
- `{ORG_ALIAS}` — optional; the `sf` CLI target-org alias. Default: whatever `sf config get target-org` returns. All SOQL, PATCH, and Metadata deploys run against this org.

```
The PATCH failure `message` often carries the server-side validation error verbatim (from `MessagingChannelFunctionsHelper.validateSessionHandler`). Surface it — it tells the user exactly which linking rule failed. Common ones: `MissingFallbackQueueForFlowRouting` / `...ForAsaRouting` / `...ForDigitalWorkerRouting` (FallbackQueue required but null), `UnsupportedFallbackQueue` (FallbackQueue set on a Queue/User path where it must be null), `InvalidSessionHandlerFlowType` (Flow isn't ProcessType=RoutingFlow, **or** the channel is Standard/SCRT1), `NoRoutingConfigDefined` (User has no RoutingConfiguration).
---
## Stage 1: Read current routing state
Query the channel. If it already has `SessionHandlerId` OR `FallbackQueueId`, no-op. Otherwise, continue.
```bash
sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' \
--query "SELECT Id, DeveloperName, SessionHandlerId, FallbackQueueId FROM MessagingChannel WHERE Id = '{CHANNEL_ID}'" \
--json > /tmp/ccr-channel.json
```
Parse with `node -e` or `jq`. If the record is missing — halt with `Error: Channel {CHANNEL_ID} not found — check the id, or run the insertion skill first.`
If `SessionHandlerId` is non-null, branch on the Id prefix to figure out what the existing routing target is, then no-op with the right envelope. The prefix maps 1:1 to the SessionHandler domain (verified against `MessagingChannel.entity.xml`). Existing routing is not automatically healthy: the target lookup must return exactly one eligible row before reporting a successful no-op.
| Prefix | Domain / Target | Lookup query | routingType |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `00G` | `Group` (Type=Queue) | `SELECT Id, Name, DeveloperName FROM Group WHERE Id='<sh>' AND Type='Queue'` | `queue` |
| `300` | `FlowDefinition` | `SELECT DurableId, Label, ApiName FROM FlowDefinitionView WHERE DurableId='<sh>'` | `flow` |
| `0Xx` | `BotDefinition` (ASA) | `SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel, AgentType, BotUserId, (SELECT Id, Status FROM BotVersions WHERE Status='Active' LIMIT 1) FROM BotDefinition WHERE Id='<sh>'` | `asa` |
| `1iE` | `AgenticCtxtDecorDefinition` (Digital Worker) | `SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel FROM AgenticCtxtDecorDefinition WHERE Id='<sh>'` | `digital_worker` |
| `005` | `User` | `SELECT Id, Name FROM User WHERE Id='<sh>'` | `user` |
```bash
SESSION_HANDLER_ID="$(node -e 'console.log(JSON.parse(require("fs").readFileSync("/tmp/ccr-channel.json","utf8")).result.records[0].SessionHandlerId)')"
PREFIX="${SESSION_HANDLER_ID:0:3}"
case "$PREFIX" in
00G) sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' --query "SELECT Id, Name, DeveloperName FROM Group WHERE Id = '$SESSION_HANDLER_ID' AND Type = 'Queue'" --json > /tmp/ccr-noop-target.json ;;
300) sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' --query "SELECT DurableId, Label, ApiName FROM FlowDefinitionView WHERE DurableId = '$SESSION_HANDLER_ID'" --json > /tmp/ccr-noop-target.json ;;
0Xx) sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' --query "SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel, AgentType, BotUserId, (SELECT Id, Status FROM BotVersions WHERE Status='Active' LIMIT 1) FROM BotDefinition WHERE Id = '$SESSION_HANDLER_ID'" --json > /tmp/ccr-noop-target.json ;;
1iE) sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' --query "SELECT Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel FROM AgenticCtxtDecorDefinition WHERE Id = '$SESSION_HANDLER_ID'" --json > /tmp/ccr-noop-target.json ;;
005) sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' --query "SELECT Id, Name FROM User WHERE Id = '$SESSION_HANDLER_ID'" --json > /tmp/ccr-noop-target.json ;;
*) echo "{\"records\":[{\"Id\":\"$SESSION_HANDLER_ID\"}]}" > /tmp/ccr-noop-target.json ;;
esac
```
For an existing ASA (`0Xx`), require a non-null `BotUserId` and one returned `BotVersions` row with `Status='Active'`. If either is missing, return the following failure instead of a successful no-op. Do not clear or replace the channel routing automatically:
```json
{"ok":false,"kind":"asa-target-inactive","routingType":"asa","sessionHandlerId":"0Xx...","hint":"The configured Agentforce Service Agent has no BotUser or active BotVersion. Activate the agent in Setup, then re-run routing validation."}
```
For other prefixes, require exactly one target lookup row. Report the success-noop envelope (include the existing `FallbackQueueId` from the Stage 1 read) only after the target-specific eligibility check succeeds, then return.
If `FallbackQueueId` is non-null but `SessionHandlerId` is null — still no-op. That's a partially-configured Flow/ASA state; don't touch it, but flag it in the envelope `message` (`"FallbackQueue set but SessionHandler null — incomplete routing, review in Setup"`) since activation will still fail readiness without a SessionHandler.
---
## Stage 2: Confirm the channel is Enhanced, then choose routing type
First confirm `PlatformType`. The Stage 1 read didn't include it — add it, or re-query:
```bash
sf data query --target-org '{ORG_ALIAS}' \
--query "SELECT Id, PlatformType FROM MessagingChannel WHERE Id = '{CHANNEL_ID}'" --json > /tmp/ccr-platform.json
```
If `PlatformType != 'Enhanced'` (i.e. Standard/SCRT1), only Flow routing is writable. These skills only create Enhanced channels, so a Standard channel here is unexpected — emit `{ok:false, kind:"standard-channel", ...}` and stop rather than guessing.
Then ask the user (via a prompt — do NOT auto-pick):
```text
The MessagingChannel '{developerName}' ({CHANNEL_ID}) has no routing configured.
Which routing type do you want?
1) queue — Omni-Channel queue routing
2) flow — Omni-Flow (RoutingFlow) + fallback queue
3) asa — Agentforce Service Agent (requires Agentforce license) + fallback queue
4) digital_worker — Digital Worker (Agentic) + fallback queue
5) user — Direct to a specific user (requires a RoutingConfiguration on the user)
Pick [1-5]:
```
Branch on the user's pick. For every non-queue path, **load `references/target-locate.md`** — it holds the per-domain locate SOQL, eligibility filters, FallbackQueue rules, and exact PATCH shape:
- **1 (queue)** — continue to Stage 3-Queue below.
- **2 (flow)** — locate an eligible `FlowDefinition` (ProcessType=RoutingFlow, active version) + a FallbackQueue, then Stage 5.
- **3 (asa)** — continue to Stage 3-ASA; ASA requires a FallbackQueue too.
- **4 (digital_worker)** — locate an eligible `AgenticCtxtDecorDefinition` + a FallbackQueue, then Stage 5.
