Creating a Web Chatbot channel
Create Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant™ (IVA) for Web Chatbot so that users can interact with a Pega Platform application to answer questions, report an issue, or step through a process by sending messages in an embedded chat window. For example, with the IVA for Web Chatbot, users can create a case to inquire about a car price estimate or book a flight.
- In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Channels.
- In the Create new channel interface section, click Web Chatbot.
- In the Details section, in the Channel interface name field, enter a name for your channel.
- Optional: To describe the purpose of the channel, in the Description field, enter a short description of your IVA.
- In the channel, click the Connection tab.
- In the Template operator ID list, click the name of an
existing Pega Platform operator to use as a template. The system uses this operator as a template to create all further accounts. Each account has a unique channel identifier set as its ID. For more information, see Template operator for IVA channel.
