OmniStudio-Developer Practice Test Questions

Explanation:

To transform contact data into a JSON array, the DataRaptor must structure the output as a list.

Option B works by explicitly defining the input as a list (List(Contact)) and mapping it to a single output node (Contact), which ensures array output.

Option C achieves the same by setting the output data type to List, forcing the result into an array format.

Options A and D are incorrect because LIST(Contact) in a formula (A) is not a valid DataRaptor syntax, and List(Contact) in the Output JSON Path (D) is invalid.

Explanation:

When you need two different calculations based on a Boolean isCustomer flag, the best practice is to use two separate Calculation Steps, each with the Conditional Step property enabled, and simply reference the Boolean variable directly in each step’s condition:

One step’s condition is isCustomer (executes when true).
The other step’s condition is NOT(isCustomer) or simply omit the condition (executes when false).

Referencing the variable directly is sufficient—no explicit ISTRUE() wrapper or comparison to literal true/false is required—and keeps your procedure cleaner and more maintainable.

Explanation:

With Send Only Additional Input checked, the Integration Procedure ignores its regular request body and sends only the key/value pairs defined under Additional Input. To pass the same data originally being sent via a DataRaptor Extract named DRExtractAction, you configure:

Key: SecondaryAccount
Value: %DRExtractAction:Account%

Here, the merge code %DRExtractAction:Account% pulls the already-extracted Account node, and assigning it to SecondaryAccount recreates the original structure.

Explanation:

To apply a complex, multi-step calculation to every element in an array within an Integration Procedure, the recommended patterns are:

A. Matrix Action – If your logic can be expressed as a lookup table (Calculation Matrix), use a Matrix Action to call that matrix for each element.

B. Calculation Action – For more general formulas and arithmetic, use a Calculation Action to invoke a Calculation Procedure that you’ve defined separately.

Both actions can be placed inside a Loop or combined with a List Action to process each record. These declarative, reusable building blocks keep your IP clean and performant.

Explanation:

When an OmniScript calls an Integration Procedure and you want the script to continue immediately—without waiting for the IP to finish—yet still capture its JSON response when ready, enable Invoke Mode : Non-Blocking. This setting submits the IP call in parallel, lets the user proceed, and then returns the response asynchronously for any follow-up logic.

Explanation:

In Preview Mode, the Response Action’s output is stored under its element name (ResponseCart). The Debug node (C) shows intermediate data, while FetchCart (A) contains the request payload.

This aligns with OmniStudio’s debugging hierarchy, where each action’s results are isolated under their named nodes. Developers must inspect ResponseCart (D) to validate the final transformed data, as documented in Salesforce’s Integration Procedure troubleshooting guide.

Explanation:

Integration Procedure merge fields use the syntax %ElementName:NodeName% to inject values into URLs, request bodies, or headers at runtime. Here, SetValues is the element name, and Date is the node under it, so %SetValues:Date% correctly resolves to that node’s value. Other formats—dot notation with %…%, JavaScript-style indexing, or double curly braces—are not supported in Integration Procedure HTTP Action properties.

Explanation:

Send JSON Path uses colon : notation to traverse nested blocks in Integration Procedures. To send the output of ActionZ (nested inside BlockY, inside BlockX), you list the hierarchy in root-to-leaf order separated by colons: BlockX:BlockY:ActionZ. Dot notation is invalid in the Send JSON Path field, and reversed orders won’t map correctly. This path tells the Response Action exactly which node in the Data JSON to include.

Explanation:

When a DataRaptor Load is invoked through an Integration Procedure from an OmniScript, the {Data} modal in the OmniScript Preview shows the exact shape of the Data JSON being passed into the IP (and thus into the DataRaptor). Copying that JSON ensures the Load’s input mapping matches the transaction context precisely, avoiding errors caused by mismatched node names or missing fields. Building JSON by hand or relying on the DataRaptor’s debug output can lead to drift from the actual OmniScript data model.

Explanation:

A DataRaptor Load uses Lookup Key mapping to associate the new Engagement Manager (Contact) as the Primary Contact for the Account. The Lookup Key ensures the system identifies the correct Account record to update by matching a unique identifier (e.g., Account ID). Once the Contact is created, the DataRaptor links it to the Account using this key, then updates the Account's Primary Contact field. This method avoids duplicates and maintains data integrity.

Official Reference:

Salesforce OmniScript and DataRaptor Documentation states that Lookup Keys are used for associating records during data transformations (Salesforce Help, 2023).
