Exam Objectives & Weightage
1. Guided Flows (OmniScripts)
25%Design and build multi-step, guided processes with branching logic, error handling, and dynamic UI. This includes embedding scripts and controlling logic.
This now includes Agentforce Generative Scripts and how to refine AI-generated flows for specific business requirements.
View Key Topics ▼
- Design conditional branching (Branching, Conditional Views)
- Use logic elements (Formulas, Messaging)
- Configure error handling and validation
- Deploy OmniScripts as Lightning Web Components (LWCs)
2. UI & Data Display (FlexCards)
20%Build contextual, responsive user interfaces that display data and launch actions. This includes configuring data sources, card states, and styling.
Focus on the new LWR-based FlexCards and their performance benefits when deployed in Experience Cloud and public-facing sites.
3. Data & Integration (DRs, IPs)
40%Design and build the data layer. This includes using DataRaptors for data operations (ETL) and Integration Procedures (IPs) to orchestrate complex, server-side logic.
Includes Real-time DataRaptors for Data Cloud DMOs and advanced error handling for external API calls within Integration Procedures.
4. Implementation & Best Practices
15%Understand the lifecycle of OmniStudio components, including deployment (DataPacks), performance tuning, security configurations, and error handling.
📝 Sample Exam Questions
💡 Test Your Knowledge
These sample questions reflect the style and difficulty level of the actual Consultant exam. Practice with these to assess your readiness.
Question 1: Guided Flows (OmniScript)
A consultant needs to build a multi-page customer onboarding wizard that guides a user through 5 steps, shows different questions based on previous answers, and saves the data at the end. What is the BEST tool for this?
A) A FlexCard with multiple states
B) An OmniScript
C) A DataRaptor Load
D) An Integration Procedure
✓ Correct Answer: B) An OmniScript
Explanation: OmniScript is the standard tool for creating guided, multi-step processes (wizards). Its "Step" elements and conditional branching are designed for this exact use case.
Question 2: Data & Integration
An OmniScript needs to get data from an external REST API, then get Account data from Salesforce, combine the two, and send it back to the script. What tool should be used to orchestrate this server-side process?
A) A DataRaptor Turbo Extract
B) An Integration Procedure
C) A DataRaptor Transform
D) A FlexCard
✓ Correct Answer: B) An Integration Procedure
Explanation: An Integration Procedure (IP) is a server-side process designed to orchestrate multiple actions (like DataRaptors, HTTP calls, etc.) into a single, efficient transaction.
Question 3: UI & Data Display
A consultant needs to display a "Customer 360" view on the Account page. It must show contact details, recent cases, and a chart of recent orders, all on one component. What is the BEST tool for this?
A) A FlexCard
B) An OmniScript
C) A DataRaptor Extract
D) An Integration Procedure
✓ Correct Answer: A) A FlexCard
Explanation: A FlexCard is the UI/display tool. It is designed to "flex" to show contextual information from multiple data sources (like DataRaptors or IPs) in a single, card-based component.
💡 Exam Tip: The exam *requires* the OmniStudio Developer cert. Expect consultant questions to be about *which* tool to use, *why* it's the best choice, and how to optimize it for performance (e.g., caching, reusability).
📚 Study Resources & Preparation
🎯 Recommended Study Plan (4-6 Weeks)
Confirm Admin & Developer certs. Review OmniScript branching logic and FlexCard data sources.
Hands-on. Build complex Integration Procedures with API calls. Practice DataRaptor Transforms.
Take practice exams. Focus on performance tuning (caching), security, and deployment (DataPacks).
💡 Exam Day Tips
DataRaptors = Data. OmniScripts = Process. FlexCards = UI. IPs = Orchestration. Every scenario maps to these.
Use DataRaptor Turbo Extract for simple reads. Use caching in IPs and DRs. Run server-side logic in an IP, not the browser.
An Integration Procedure is more reusable than a complex OmniScript. A DataRaptor is more reusable than an embedded data call.
