Create a Presence Status for Your Sales Prospecting Bot

Presence statuses indicate if a sales rep is online and available to receive prospects. Create a presence status for your sales prospecting bot that includes your service channel. That way, reps that are assigned to this presence status can receive your bot’s incoming leads.
