service-omni-queue-members-assign
About service-omni-queue-members-assign
A Salesforce skill that adds agent users to an existing queue through the Data API. It detects missing memberships, verifies the result, and can be safely rerun without removing existing members.
Key features
- 01Adds generated or explicitly specified users
- 02Detects existing queue memberships
- 03Creates only missing memberships
- 04Rechecks membership after writes
- 05Blocks unsafe production changes
Use cases
- 01Populate an Omni-Channel queue with agent users
- 02Add specific active users to a queue
- 03Retry membership setup without duplicating entries

From the project READMEservice-omni-queue-members-assign
Bind N agent users into a Salesforce Queue via GroupMember Data API POSTs. Without queue membership, Omni-Channel routing sees an empty pool for the queue and never assigns work. Detection is SOQL-based (the same detect-then-POST shape as service-omni-queue-routing-config-deploy), so only missing memberships are created and the skill is safe to re-run. Agent users come from service-omni-agent-users-create, the queue from service-omni-queue-deploy, and the users' Omni permissions from service-omni-permission-set-assign.
Inputs
bash scripts/verify-and-bind.sh <org-alias> [queue-developer-name=CaseQueue] [count=3] [explicit-members-csv]
# demo agents (default):
bash scripts/verify-and-bind.sh myorg CaseQueue 3
# real agents by username/id:
bash scripts/verify-and-bind.sh myorg VoiceQueue "" "[email protected],005XX000001abcd"
org-alias(required).queue-developer-name(optional, defaultCaseQueue).count(optional, default3, range1..10) — must match the agent user count; ignored in explicit mode.explicit-members-csv(optional 4th positional, orMEMBER_USERNAMES_CSV/MEMBER_USER_IDS_CSV) — each token is a Username or a 15/18-char User Id; the count is derived from the list.
Preconditions and safety
- Target org authenticated via
sfCLI (My Domain URL), Service Cloud license,sfCLI ≥ 2.139.6. - The executing user has
PermissionsModifyAllData(standard on System Administrator). - The agent users exist (
service-omni-agent-users-create) and the queue exists (service-omni-queue-deploy); a missing user set or queue blocks with a pointer to the right skill (queues cannot be created via the Data API). - The three-way
safe_to_writeproduction guard applies — adding users to a production queue mis-routes real customer work, so it blocks with no override.
Run
verify-and-bind.sh runs the whole cycle:
- Compute
safe_to_write; derive the 8-char org suffix. - Resolve the queue
Group.Idby DeveloperName +Type='Queue'; block if missing. - Resolve the member set — generated mode queries
Userforagent{1..N}.<suffix>@example.com(block if any expected user is missing); explicit mode resolves each supplied token and requires every one to be an ACTIVE user. - Query existing
GroupMemberfor the queue; compute the users not yet bound. - POST one
GroupMemberper missing user (individual POSTs, noallOrNone). - Re-query to confirm final membership and emit the report.
Behavior
Two member sources, never mixed. The default generated pattern keeps the user-create → member-assign handoff deterministic; explicit mode is opt-in for real agents and takes over count derivation. In explicit mode, a token that does not resolve to an active user blocks the run — binding a typo'd or inactive user would silently under-populate the queue.
Idempotency and honesty. POSTs are individual so one failed binding (e.g. a race with another admin) never rolls back its successful siblings, and the skill re-queries after all POSTs — a 201 only means the write was accepted; a subsequent SOQL confirms the row is visible to the routing engine. The before snapshot includes members already present, even non-demo users added out-of-band, so the coordinator can see full membership state.
Non-destructive. Create-only; it never removes or reassigns existing members.
Output contract
A single JSON object with status ∈ bound | reused | partial | blocked, the resolved queue, org_suffix, member_source (generated_pattern | explicit), requested_count, a before snapshot, bound_this_run/bound_count, reused_count, an after snapshot, manual_actions, and blocking_issue.
bound— at least one new member created; final state matches the expected count.reused— all expected users were already members; nothing POSTed.partial— some POSTs failed; the re-query shows fewer members than requested (details inblocking_issue).blocked— precondition failed (production org, missing queue, missing users, missing permissions).
bound_count + reused_count == requested_count unless partial; blocking_issue is non-null only for blocked/partial.
Limitations
- Generated and explicit modes are mutually exclusive per run.
- Create-only; removing or reassigning members is out of scope.
- Does not create the queue or the users, and does not assign permission sets or presence configs.
