Hi @poornimanar ,

Yes, you should create a custom Virtual Agent topic (by copying the OOTB Live Agent Support topic).
✔ The topic should be a Standard Chat Topic (not a Setup Topic).
✔ You must check agent availability using a Script Variable (vaSystem.isLiveAgentAvailable()), then branch your flow to show different messages.

Further detail, please refer to this blog:
