Verified steps

  1. Create a Prompt Template in the Prompt Builder Setup UI, specifying input fields and grounding context
  2. In Apex invoke the template using the ConnectApi.LlmOpenAiActions.executePromptTemplate method or the equivalent REST endpoint under /services/data/vXX.0/einstein/
  3. Pass a map of merge field values to populate the template inputs at runtime
  4. Parse the response object to extract the generated text from the generations array
  5. Handle rate-limit and token-limit errors; implement retry with exponential backoff as these are external AI service calls
  6. Log input/output pairs for audit purposes given data residency and compliance requirements common in enterprise CRM contexts
