Configure the web chatbot for the self-service application. For more
information, see Configuring the Web Chatbot.
Enable queues and make them available in the Interaction portal.
When configuring the web chatbot, add case types to the
bot and add matching phrases on the Text analysis tab, so that
customers can readily access those cases. For example, to request a copy of their
financial statements. If you have the Statement Copy case type, and if the customer
enters the words request a statement, then the system displays a dialog box
asking for their credentials (because this case type requires authentication).
Similarly, customers can enter escalate or chat with agent to chat with
the CSR.
Note: CSRs and managers with admin credentials can perform the activities
described in this section.
