description: "Configure routing on a newly-inserted Enhanced `MessagingChannel` so that activation will accept it. Given a `{CHANNEL_ID}`, walks the user through picking a routing type (Omni-Channel Queue, Omni-Flow, Agentforce Service Agent, Digital Worker, or direct User), locates or provisions the routing target, then PATCHes the channel's `SessionHandlerId` (plus `FallbackQueueId` where required) to it. Use between the insertion skill and the activation skill — activation fails server-side with `nullQueueId` / `LiveMessageSetupException` if no valid `SessionHandlerId` is set on the channel."

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-consent-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.
