Note This action is no longer being updated. We recommend that you use Setup with Agentforce, which can help with many more administrative tasks and is automatically updated with new functionality. For more information, see [Setup with Agentforce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.setup_agentforce_overview.htm&language=en_US).

## Guidelines and Considerations

This agent action calls the Create External Client App standard invocable action, which creates an external client app based on customer specifications.
