Unified Messaging channel overview

Updated on June 1, 2023

You create and build a single Unified Messaging channel to ensure that users can interact with your application through multiple social messaging platforms as Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant™ (IVA). The Unified Messaging channel is quick to create and configure, giving the user a completely new experience. In addition, the Unified Messaging channel makes maintenance of the conversational capability of an IVA much easier.

Note: Due to changes by Twitter in the API and the licensing model, direct integration with Twitter is no longer supported in the Unified Messaging channel interface.
