OmniScript is a way for a application builder to design a business process by configuring interactions using declarative tools that are easy to use, and it implement complex functionality behind the scenes. It enables you to craft dynamic customer interactions without code. The ability to configure interactive, easy-to-use business processes with branching, which means different pages and groups of fields can be shown based on choices the user makes.
What is OmniScript ?
An OmniScript allow you to build a guided path for completing a business process and serves as a configurable way of creating a seamless customer experience. You can create OmniScripts using an intuitive drag-and-drop editor that enables you to group various elements such as actions (extract data, send email), functions (formulas), input fields, and branching logic.
You can enable the LWC on OmniScript to get an LWC component that you can deploy and launch from Communities, Object detail pages, and FlexCards.
When to use OmniScripts
Here are a some example when you can use OmniScripts.
- Provide a guided path to complete a business process.
- Step users through complex tasks
- Captures details for a service implementation.
- A customer steps through a selling process, such as choosing a new insurance plan.

OmniScript Designer
In OmniScript there are the different types of elements and how they can be used.
| Element Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Actions | For calling on other tools to perform various actions: getting or saving data, calculating, sending an email, and so on |
| Display | For displaying text and images on the screen to enhance the usability of the UI |
| Functions | For performing calculations within the OmniScript, showing conditional messages, and providing geolocation |
| Group | For grouping elements together on the UI |
| Inputs | For system or user input or selection |
| OmniScripts | Reusable OmniScripts to insert and use |
Reusable OmniScript
Reusable OmniScripts are intended to be embedded into another OmniScript so they have no Done Action.
OmniScript Naming Conventions.
An OmniScript’s Type, Subtype, and Language gives an OmniScript its unique identity. Only one active OmniScript may have the same Type, SubType, and Language at any time. An OmniScript’s Type must start with a lowercase letter.
Only one version of an OmniScript may be active at a time. If you need to make a change to an active OmniScript, create a new version. The version of the OmniScript already active and in production remains in place while you work on the new version.
Best Practices
- Use camelCase – prefix, Verb, Object and Detail
- Use an action verb and descriptive nouns
- Use abbreviations
- Example acctMgmt/verifyCallerteam
OmniScript Best Practices
- Identify reusable elements by building a skeleton of the entire OmniScript
- Document the purpose of an element in the element’s Internal Notes property
- Apply global branding by using the Newport Design System
- Avoid confusing the user by breaking processes up into shorter steps.
- Speed up the application of responses by trimming the Response JSON.
- A single OmniScript should not exceed 200 elements.
- Run logic on the server where possible.
