- Notification content - Create notifications with rich content, images, and action buttons. Actionable notifications enable recipients to perform certain actions and respond to the notification, such as adding a comment or requesting a live agent.
- Notification delivery
- Message notifications are delivered immediately to end users, even if the user is chatting with a virtual or live agent.
- Actionable notifications are delivered only when the user is not in an active conversation
with a virtual or live agent. Users can choose to:
- Review the notifications later by using the show notification command.
For example, with the show notification command, users can select the notification they want to view.
- Perform or skip the actions for the notification. If users decide to skip the actions, users can return later to the notification by using the show notification command.
