    Features

    It's necessary to first integrate Chat SDK. Afterwards, messages sent to customer service virtual numbers by users under the administration of chat can be configured to divert to different live customer service agents.
    Customer Service Virtual Number: A unified gateway for user enquiries to customer service. Upon enquiry to this virtual number, a conversation service flow will be triggered and configured to redirect to various live customer service agents.

    The virtual number is an ordinary account in your chat application, which will have no actual users or customer service representatives logging in.
