Complete these prerequisites for desktop site and the Salesforce mobile app:

  1. Make sure you have Enhanced Chat set up on your customer site.
  2. Set up your self service portal.
  3. Set up a service agent. When you review the topics that come with a service agent, make sure General FAQ and Escalation topics are added. After creating your service agent:
    1. In Agent Builder, click Knowledge.
    2. Enable Show Sources and enter your knowledge domain URL. This URL is where the Agentforce Service Agent searches for the knowledge articles to answer user queries.
  4. Connect your service agent to Enhanced Chat.
  5. Configure Agentforce Service Agent to Initiate Context-Driven Conversations Based on Data Categories Selected by Users on the Desktop Site. Follow these steps to share information about data categories with Agentforce Service Agent.
  6. Configure Agentforce Service Agent to Initiate Context-Driven Conversations on the Salesforce Mobile App Due to the limited screen space on mobile devices, auto-triggering Agentforce Service Agent when a user enters a search query may be intrusive and distracting to the user. To make your experience better, make a special LWC part for your experience site. This part lets users select if they want Agentforce Service Agent to help them with their questions. This feature is designed to enhance the user experience by providing a more intuitive interaction with Agentforce Service Agent. Customize the name and appearance of the custom component to match your experience site’s theme.
