What’s the difference between standard actions and catalog actions?

Agentforce uses standard actions to accomplish key tasks in Salesforce, such as summarizing records. You can use any standard action with Service Catalog given that you have the necessary licensing required for each action. 

Service Catalog actions complete catalog item requests for customers in your help site so they don’t have to search your catalog or contact support. To get you started, we’ve provided three sample catalog items that are available for download. The items are associated with a catalog action of the same name.

  • Update Phone Number
  • Update Email Address
  • Get Help

The Service Catalog actions aren’t included in the Agentforce Actions page with the rest of the standard actions. To access the Service Catalog actions, you must launch the Agentforce custom action guided setup and select Service Catalog Item as the Reference Action Type.

See:

What setup is required?

Service Catalog Agent actions are available for setup in the Agent Actions Setup page. Setup and use of Service Catalog actions in your self-service site and digital channels aren't available.
