Enable Digital Experiences and Chat Agent

Enable Digital Experiences

Customer sites give customers an easy way to interact with a company whenever and wherever they are. They can search for articles, ask questions, and get crowd-sourced answers. This functionality is exactly what Category 1 Biking needs to engage their loyal fans.

3. Select Enable Digital Experiences.
   
4. Click Save.
   
5. Click OK.
   

You should have been redirected to the All Sites page in Setup, but if not, enter All Sites in Quick Find, then select All Sites.

2. Select the Customer Service template.
   
3. Click Get Started.

Create a Chat Agent Skill

Skills are areas of expertise you assign to agents, so chats are routed to an agent with the right knowledge base. You can create skills for channels, products, escalation paths, and more. For example, Category 1 Biking might want to assign different skills for bikes for adults versus bikes for kids. 

For this project, set up one skill to keep things simple. You can always add more skills later on.

1. Click the setup gear  and select Setup.
   
2. Enter Skills in Quick Find, then select Skills (in the Chat category).
   
3. Add a check to the I understand that legacy chat is in maintenance mode checkbox.
   
4. In the Messaging for In-App and Web is Here pop-up, click Continue to Legacy Chat Settings.
   
5. Click New.
   
6. In the Basic Information section, enter these details.
   

• Name: Web Support
• Developer Name: Web_Support

7. In the Assign Profiles section, add Custom: Support Profile, Standard User, and System Administrator.
   
8. Click Save.
   

Create a Chat Agent Configuration

Configurations determine settings for your support staff. 

1. Enter Chat in Quick Find, then select Chat Agent Configurations.
   
2. Click New.
   
3. In the Basic Information section, enter these details.
   

• Chat Agent Configuration Name: Web Support Configuration

5. Click Save.
   

Add Chat Agent to the Service Console

Later in the project, you simulate a chat session between you and (ahem) yourself. To do that, add Chat Agent to the Service Console in your Trailhead Playground. 

1. From the Service Setup, enter App in Quick Find, then select App Manager.
   
2. Click the down arrow next to Service Console and click Edit.
   
3. Click Navigation Items.
   
4. Search for and select Chat Sessions in the Available Items list, then click the Add arrow, to move it to the Selected Items section.
   
5. Click Save.
   
6. Click  to return to Service Setup.
