Conversational channel user roles

Pega Platform users with different roles create, train, and build Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVA) and Pega Email Bots, as well as triage cases. For example, a channel developer creates an Email channel and builds its behavior, by training the text analytics model to better detect the correct topics, language, sentiment, and entities. Once the email bot is in a production environment, a customer service representative (CSR) then triages the cases so that customer emails are promptly and correctly addressed.

Supported roles

The following are the main user roles for creating, defining, and managing IVAs and email bots in Pega Platform:

They use the Case Manager portal or the Email Manager portal for this purpose, to more efficiently address customer emails. Amongst other things, CSRs perform the following task:
Channel administrator
Channel administrators manage the IVAs and email bots for a Pega Platform application, once the IVA or email bot is in a production environment. An administrator works together with the channel developers to keep the system secure, operable, and error free. Administrators perform the following tasks:
