My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.

For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.

 

 

What is Agent Chat?

 

Agent Chat enables live agents to interact directly with end users through chat. Your end users can chat with a live agent to ask questions and receive information. You can establish assignment rules to enable chat conversations to reach the best agent available who has the capacity and skills to handle the job. But agents also can transfer the chat to another agent if necessary.

Agent Chat uses a persistent widget for chat conversations on any Service Portal page or Workspace that you're using.
