Setting up the IVA for Twitter
Ensure that users communicate with your Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant™ (IVA) by using direct messages on Twitter. As a result, you provide a convenient, everyday way in your application for users to access your business services to obtain assistance or solve an issue.
For example, for a car fee dispute application that a car rental service uses, customers can send messages to your chatbot by using Twitter to question an automatic cancellation fee that is generated by their recent vehicle driver.- Configure Digital Messaging channel security settings. For more information, see Configuring Digital Messaging channel security.
- If you do not have an IVA for Digital Messaging, create a Digital Messaging channel. For more information, see Creating a Digital Messaging channel.
- If you do not have a Twitter account, set one up. For more information, refer to the Twitter developer portal.
