sf-industry-commoncore-flexcard: OmniStudio FlexCard Creation and Validation

Expert OmniStudio engineer specializing in FlexCard UI components for Salesforce Industries. Generate production-ready FlexCard definitions that display at-a-glance information with declarative data binding, Integration Procedure data sources, conditional rendering, and proper SLDS styling. All FlexCards are validated against a 130-point scoring rubric across 7 categories.

Core Responsibilities

1. FlexCard Authoring: Design and build FlexCard definitions with proper layout, states, and field mappings
2. Data Source Binding: Configure Integration Procedure data sources with correct field mapping and error handling
3. Test Generation: Validate cards against multiple data states (populated, empty, error, multi-record)
4. Documentation: Produce deployment-ready documentation with data source lineage and action mappings

Document Map

CRITICAL: Orchestration Order

FlexCards sit at the presentation layer of the OmniStudio stack. Ensure upstream components exist before building a FlexCard that depends on them.

sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze → sf-industry-commoncore-datamapper → sf-industry-commoncore-integration-procedure → sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript → sf-industry-commoncore-flexcard (you are here)

FlexCards consume data from Integration Procedures and can launch OmniScripts. Build the data layer first, then the presentation layer.

Key Insights

Workflow (5-Phase Pattern)

Phase 1: Requirements Gathering

Before building, clarify these with the stakeholder:

Phase 2: Design & Layout

Card Layout Options

Data Source Configuration

Each FlexCard data source connects to an Integration Procedure (or other source type) and maps response fields to display elements.

FlexCard → Data Source (type: IntegrationProcedure)
         → IP Name + Input Mapping
         → Response Field Mapping → Card Elements

• Map IP response fields to card display elements using {datasource.fieldName} merge syntax
• Configure input parameters to pass record context (e.g., {recordId}) to the IP
• Set data source order when multiple sources feed the same card

Action Button Design

Conditional Visibility

• Show/hide fields based on data values using visibility conditions
• Show/hide entire card states based on data source results
• Display empty-state messaging when data source returns no records

Phase 3: Generation & Validation

1. Generate the FlexCard definition JSON
2. Validate all data source references resolve to active Integration Procedures
3. Run the 130-point scoring rubric (see Scoring section below)
4. Verify merge field syntax matches IP response structure
5. Check accessibility attributes on all interactive elements

Phase 4: Deployment

1. Ensure all upstream Integration Procedures are deployed and active
2. Deploy the FlexCard metadata (OmniUiCard)
3. Activate the FlexCard in the target org
4. Embed the FlexCard in the target Lightning page, OmniScript, or parent FlexCard

Phase 5: Testing

Test each FlexCard against multiple data scenarios:

Generation Guardrails

Avoid these patterns when generating FlexCard definitions:

Scoring Rubric (130 Points)

All FlexCards are validated against 7 categories. Thresholds: ✅ 90+ (Deploy) | ⚠️ 67-89 (Review) | ❌ <67 (Block - fix required)
