Q18. List OmniScript Best Practices.
- Reduce the number of fields the user must input information into by prefilling the fields using contextual data
- Create re-usable OmniScripts
- Reduce Conditional Views, Merge Fields, Formulas where possible.
- Run logic on the server where possible, including conditional logic in Integration Procedures and formulas in DataRaptors.
- Avoid assigning a ContextId within the OmniScript. OmniScript’s ContextId is a reserved key that assigns a Record Id from the URL.
Q19. List Data Raptor Best Practices.
- Create targeted DataRaptors that only extract or load the data needed for one operation
- Use relationship notation (queries) whenever possible to pull data from other Objects
- Try to keep the number of Objects to three or fewer
- Ensure that all filtering and sorting operations are on indexed fields. The Id and Name fields are always indexed
- Use caching to store frequently accessed, infrequently updated data
Q20. List Integration Procedure Best Practices.
- Use Integration Procedures for all data calls to Salesforce
- Trim the Response data to only get what is needed
- Use multiple Response Actions with different Execution Conditional Formulas to allow an Integration Procedure to exit early under appropriate conditions
- Use caching to store frequently accessed, infrequently updated data
- If possible run Integration Procedures asynchronously
