Enhanced In-App Chat or Enhanced Web Chat channels
Turn On Messaging Turn on Messaging in Agentforce Service (formerly Service Cloud) so that service reps can communicate with customers in standard and enhanced Messaging channels. This step isn’t needed for Enhanced Chat.
Set Up Routing for Messaging Channels Use Omni-Channel to route customer inquiries sent over a Messaging channel to a queue, bot, or qualified service rep. For simple routing scenarios, try queue-based routing. Alternatively, create an Omni-Channel flow to define routing rules and dynamically route messages, or route all messages to a single user or an Agentforce agent.
Add Messaging to the Service Console Configure the Service Console to put all messaging tools at your team's fingertips. Add Omni-Channel, customize the Messaging Session page layout, and make the Send Message global action available. Optionally, customize the Enhanced Conversation component and add messaging components to the Service Console.
