Finding Your Agent ID

To find your Agentforce Agent ID:

1. Log in to your Salesforce org
2. Navigate to Einstein Agent Builder
3. Select the agent you want to use
4. Look at the URL in your browser - it will contain the Agent ID in the format: https://your-salesforce-instance.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/Agent__c/0XxXXXXXXXXXXXXX/view
5. The Agent ID is that 18-character ID (0XxXXXXXXXXXXXXX) in the URL

2. Go to Setup
3. In the Quick Find box, search for "My Domain" and click on it

Notes

• The server automatically manages sequence IDs for message exchanges
• Authentication and session state are maintained for each client email
• All API interactions are logged for debugging purposes

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Authentication failures: Verify your Connected App settings and ensure the client ID and secret are correct
2. Session creation errors: Check your Agent ID and make sure it's the 18-character version
3. Connection issues: Verify your Salesforce My Domain URL is correct (without "https://" prefix)
4. Permission errors: Make sure your Connected App has the proper OAuth scopes enabled

Testing the Setup

You can test your setup using the included test script:

python test_agentforce.py

This will attempt to authenticate, create a session, and exchange messages with your Agentforce agent.

Contributing and GitHub Push

This repository includes a helpful script that simplifies the process of pushing your changes to GitHub:

chmod +x github_push.sh
./github_push.sh

The github_push.sh script will:

1. Check if git is installed on your system

3. Prompt you for your GitHub repository URL
4. Initialize a git repository if needed, or update the remote URL
5. Add all files and display them for your review
6. Commit the changes with a descriptive message
7. Push the changes to GitHub

This makes it easy to share your customizations or contribute back to the project while ensuring that sensitive information stays secure.
