What is the purpose of Vlocity Integration Procedures (VIPs)?

• A. VIPs are client-side scripts that render UI components.
• B. VIPs are declarative, server-side processes that execute multiple actions in a single server call. They are a way to get, save, and manipulate data behind the scenes.
• C. VIPs are used for styling OmniScript
• D. VIPs are data sources for DML.

Answer: (B)

VIPs are declarative server-side processes in OmniStudio that bundle multiple actions into a single server call to get, save, and manipulate data behind the scenes. They orchestrate data operations—retrieving records, persisting changes, and transforming data—without requiring multiple client requests, which improves performance and reduces round trips. This server-side orchestration can involve calling external services, DataRaptors, and applying logic or mappings, all in one flow. They’re not client-side scripts, nor are they used for styling OmniScript or as data sources for DML; their purpose is to coordinate back-end data interactions in a consolidated, efficient way.
