    The mweb channel is set to messaging mode. To help manage long-running conversations, the system automatically performs certain messaging actions in messaging mode:
    • Requester message without agent response (agent experience): If an agent hasn't responded to a requester within 30 minutes, the agent receives a reminder that a message from an end user needs a response.
    • Agent message without requester response: If a requester hasn't responded to an agent message after two days, the conversation state in the Interaction record is automatically set to closed abandoned.

    For more information on messaging actions, see Configure messaging actions. For details on Virtual Agent and Live Agent idle conversation timeouts and conversation states, see Closing Virtual Agent and Agent Chat conversations and Virtual Agent interaction records.
