Legacy Chat will be retired on February 14, 2026. To avoid service interruptions to your end users, switch to enhanced Chat (formerly Messaging for In-App and Web). Enhanced Chat offers many of the legacy Chat features that you love plus asynchronous conversations that can be picked back up at any time. Learn about migrating in Help and Trailhead.
Before you begin, create a flow using Flow Builder. Then add it to an Embedded Service deployment.
Embedded Service supports only flows of the Screen Flow type. Users don’t need to log in to access an embedded flow.

Select Embedded Flow as your conversation type, and click
Next.

-
On the New Embedded Service deployment panel, in the Embedded Service Deployment
Name field enter your flow name.
Tip The deployment is shown in a list on the Embedded Service page. If you have several deployments, use a descriptive name so it’s easy to distinguish each one. - The API Name field is automatically populated.

- In Embedded Service Deployment Settings, click Start next to the Flow Settings.
- Under Flow Name, select the flow you want to use in your Embedded Service deployment and save it.
