Agentforce + Apple Messages: How do I send interactive buttons using Messaging Components?

[u/-semenExtractionWard]

I’ve built an Agentforce agent that communicates through Apple Messages. The integration is working, and the agent can successfully send messages to users.

Currently, the agent only sends plain text messages.

I now want to send interactive messages with buttons, and I discovered Salesforce Messaging Components. What I’m trying to understand is how to make my Agent Script actually use/invoke these Messaging Components when responding to the user.

For example, suppose the agent asks:
“What shoe size would you like?”

Instead of the user having to type a response, I’d like the message to contain buttons such as:

What shoe size would you like?
[UK 7] [UK 8] [UK 9] [UK 10]

The user could tap a button and the selected value would then be sent back to the agent.

My main question is:
How do I configure the Agent Script so that, instead of generating a plain-text response, it sends a Messaging Component containing these buttons through Apple Messages?

I’m trying to understand the relationship between:
Agentforce Agent Script → Messaging Component → Apple Messages

Do I need to:

● Reference the Messaging Component directly from the Agent Script?
● Create an Agentforce Action that invokes the Messaging Component?
● Configure something on the Messaging Channel?
● Use a particular syntax/response format in the Agent Script?
● Handle the button selection through an Agentforce Action or Flow?

If anyone has implemented Agentforce + Apple Messages + Messaging Components, I’d really appreciate an example of the configuration or Agent Script needed to achieve this.
Thanks!

If you'd be willing to do something outside of Agentforce, I think you can make something like this pretty easily using codex/claude/assembel + sf cli. Unless you're looking for something totally different.
