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](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.energy_new_connections_requirements.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Before you set up new connections with AI tools, confirm that your org has the required licenses, permissions, and a supported edition.
