Coral Cloud Resorts (CCR) uses Agentforce to assist customers with booking and service issues.

The AgentForce Conditional Logic and Triage Design Guide recommends using custom variables and deterministic filters for reliable decision-making in AI agents. The document explains: “For deterministic triage flows, create a variable (e.g., severityLevel) populated by an action or rule. Then, apply filters so that specific actions execute only when the variable matches defined criteria. This approach guarantees predictable and auditable outcomes.”

In this case, severityLevel controls whether to escalate to a human rep or create a support case, ensuring no ambiguity in execution.

Option A (IF/THEN logic in topic instructions) and Option B (“Always/Never” keywords) rely on natural language interpretation, which is non-deterministic and can lead to inconsistent results.

Thus, Option C aligns with Salesforce’s documented best practice for reliable and rule-based triage logic.
