service-omni-presence-status-deploy

Deploy the sObject-specific `Available_<X>` ServicePresenceStatus bound to that sObject's ServiceChannel, and ensure a universal `Busy` status exists, in one atomic Metadata API deploy. Every Omni agent needs an "available for work" status carrying a channel (so incoming work routes) and an "off-work" status (so they can step away). A presence status binds to exactly one ServiceChannel by DeveloperName, so each routing target needs its own Available status. It pairs with `service-omni-permission-set-assign`, which grants agents access to the statuses this skill deploys, and is invoked once per routing target by `service-omni-channel-setup-coordinate`.

| Target sObject | Available status | Bound channel | |---|---|---| | `Case` | `Available_Case` | `Cases` | | `Incident` | `Available_Incident` | `Incidents` | | `MessagingSession` | `Available_Messaging` | `sfdc_livemessage` | | `VoiceCall` | `Available_Voice` | `sfdc_phone` |

**Busy is UI-defined, not metadata-defined.** The Omni "Busy vs Online" option is not expressible via the Metadata API — a `ServicePresenceStatus` carries only `<label>` and `<channels>`, and a status with no channels is treated as busy. The conventional busy DeveloperName is simply `Busy`, and most orgs already have one, so this skill reuses an existing `Busy` and deploys the bundled asset only when none exists. A busy status is not required to receive work — the Available status carrying the channel is what routes it.

Inputs

bash scripts/deploy-and-report.sh <org-alias> [Case|Incident|MessagingSession|VoiceCall]

• `org-alias` (required).
• `sobject_type` (optional, default `Case`).

Preconditions and safety

• Target org authenticated via `sf` CLI (My Domain URL), Service Cloud license, `sf` CLI ≥ 2.139.6.
• Omni-Channel base settings enabled (`service-omni-base-settings-configure`) — otherwise the deploy fails with `INVALID_TYPE`.
• The target sObject's ServiceChannel exists (`service-omni-service-channel-configure`) — otherwise the deploy fails with `Value '<channel>' is not valid`. `Incident` requires the Incident Management feature enabled; `MessagingSession` requires Enhanced Messaging.
• The three-way `safe_to_write` production guard applies.

Run

`deploy-and-report.sh` deploys the `Available_<X>` status (and `Busy` only when the org has none) in one Metadata API call, then maps the per-component `files[].state` to a skill status:

• `reused` — every component `Unchanged`.
• `updated` — any component `Changed`, none `Created`.
• `created` — any component `Created`.

There is no separate detect step — Salesforce's `files[].state` is authoritative. The deploy uses explicit `--metadata` flags (never `--source-dir`) so unrelated assets cannot piggyback.

Behavior

**Reuse over redeploy.** An existing `Busy` is detected and left untouched; only a missing one is deployed. The skill never deletes or overwrites presence statuses it did not deploy — orgs often carry other custom statuses (`Omni_OnBreak`, `availableForMiaw`).

**Schema.** The XML omits `<statusType>` (removed in v66; online/busy is inferred from the presence of `<channels>`), and the skill never SOQL-queries `StatusType` (not queryable on v66 — only Id, DeveloperName, MasterLabel are reliable). `Available_Messaging` binds the standard `sfdc_livemessage` channel that Enhanced Messaging always ships.

Output contract

A single JSON object with `status` ∈ `created` | `reused` | `updated` | `blocked`, `sobject_type`, a `presence_statuses` array (each with `developer_name`, `label`, `channels`, `state`, and — for `Busy` — `reused_existing`), `deploy_id`, `manual_actions`, and `blocking_issue`.

• `blocked` — deploy failed (missing prereq, schema mismatch, or org error); `manual_actions` names the prerequisite skill to run and `blocking_issue` is an operator-friendly translation of the Salesforce error.
• `deploy_id` is populated on every run (Salesforce issues one even for no-op deploys).

Limitations

• Deploys only the `Available_<X>` + `Busy` pair — custom statuses require forking the `assets/servicePresenceStatuses/*.xml`.
• Only `Case`, `Incident`, `MessagingSession`, `VoiceCall` — extend by adding a dispatcher branch and a matching asset.
• Does not configure `PresenceUserConfig` capacity or decline reasons, and never deletes existing statuses.
