With an AI coding agent and Salesforce setup automation, the admin directs an interactive agent skill run from a command-line coding tool, such as Claude Code or Agentforce Vibes.

The agent authenticates to the target org and configures the org preferences, SLA milestone tracking, profile, permissions, field-level security, and record page that a new connection requires. The agent works headlessly through setup APIs, pauses at critical steps to ask the admin to confirm, and produces a summary of completed.
The agent executes predefined Setup Operation Recipe (SOR) files and sequences the setup steps to prevent admins from configuring dependencies out of sequence. Because the agent operates in defined roles, it pauses at critical junctures to ask the admin for permission or input. For example, it asks whether to assign permissions or run a simplified SLA setup. It also warns of actions that can be irreversible.
Scenario
Maya, an Energy & Utilities admin, needs new connections enabled end-to-end in a fresh org so her team can manage customer connection applications without delay.
She doesn't want to navigate dozens of Setup pages by hand, enabling org preferences, configuring SLA and entitlement milestone tracking, cloning profiles, setting field-level security, packaging permission sets, and building record pages.
She directs an AI coding agent to set up new connections. The agent reads the execution plan and enables the Individual Application Milestone Enablement preference. It then configures simplified SLA tracking, clones the New Connection Manager profile, sets field-level security, packages, permission sets, and builds the Individual Application page, pausing for admin confirmation at critical steps.
What normally takes hours of tedious manual clicks becomes one guided conversation, leaving the org with a fully configured Individual Application setup, and an automated verification summary.
- New Connections Requirements
Before you set up new connections with AI tools, confirm that your org has the required licenses, permissions, and a supported edition. You also need admin credentials, the Salesforce CLI, and an AI coding agent such as Claude Code or Agentforce Vibes to run the eu-new-connection-setup recipe. - New Connections Design Considerations
Keep these design considerations in mind when you set up new connections headlessly with AI tools. - What the Agent Configures for New Connections
Review each setup step that the agent runs, where it pauses for your confirmation, and what needs manual follow-up. - Set Up New Connections with AI Tools
