Apex for Agentforce Superbadge: Trailhead Challenge Help

Introduction

This help article is designed to provide resources to complete the superbadge challenges. It also offers links to useful articles and details various troubleshooting techniques.

     

    About Superbadges

    Superbadges assess your understanding and ability to apply key concepts, tools, and methodologies in a hands-on practice environment. These technical assessments help bridge the gap between what you’ve learned and how you can apply those skills in real-world scenarios. Completing a superbadge shows your ability to work on Salesforce implementations, demonstrates your expertise, and can help with certification preparation.

     

    How Is a Superbadge Different From Modules and Projects on Trailhead?

    Modules introduce you to specific topics in bite-sized units, and projects give you hands-on practice via step-by-step instructions. Superbadges present the requirements in a narrative format with multiple hands-on challenges. Trailblazers need to complete the challenges by configuring a technical solution in a special Salesforce Developer Edition org. Read more about how the Salesforce Program Agreement applies to superbadges.

     

    General Notes

    Each superbadge includes recommended learning. Completing the recommended learning for each superbadge is the best way to prepare for the superbadge challenges. Many concepts tested in the superbadge are covered in the recommended learning.

    Make sure you’re using the org specified to complete the challenges. For this superbadge, Apex for Agentforce, please use this page to sign up for the special Developer Edition org with the configuration you need to pass the challenges.

    • Important Note: If Einstein is enabled in your org, you may still see an error message indicating that Einstein is not enabled. If this happens, please toggle Einstein off and then on again.

    Challenge Resources for Superbadge: Apex for Agentforce

    You may notice that test coverage for your Apex classes isn't assessed as part of this superbadge. That's because this superbadge focuses on providing an opportunity to practice using Apex in relation to Agentforce. However, in real implementation scenarios, ensuring thorough test coverage is an important part of any custom code development in Salesforce. For more information, see Testing and Code Coverage in the Apex Developer Guide.

    Tip: If you run into a "Configuration Issues Detected" popup while working on the superbadge challenges in Agentforce Builder, you should be able to click the Ignore & Activate button and continue on with your work.

    Resources for Completing Challenge 1: Get Ready for the Superbadge: Apex for Agentforce

    Tips:

    • If you try to add an action to a subagent from the Asset Library and encounter an infinite loading spinner or an error message beginning with "Failed to create local topic from POJO," the workaround is to refresh the page and then create the action directly from the agent using the Create New Action option instead of adding it from the Asset Library. 
      • For this superbadge, the two actions that may need to be added directly are Lookup Contact by Email and Lookup Experience (both have Reference Action Type = Flow)
        • When configuring the actions:
          • Keep the default Agent Action Label and Agent Action API Name
          • Keep the default Agent Action Instructions 
          • Uncheck the box for "Show loading text for this action"
          • Under "Input," check the "Require input" box
          • Under "Output," check the "Show in conversation" box
    • While creating the subagent in Legacy Builder, if you encounter a Topic Overlap Detected modal, click Ignore and move to the next step. 
    • After enabling Einstein, you may need to refresh the page before Agentforce can be enabled. 
    • Adding instructions to a subagent is important to set the guardrails for agent behavior, but isn't the main objective of this superbadge.
