    Buyer Assistant bots include building blocks that help them navigate conversations and perform tasks. Learn about the different parts of your buyer assistant and start personalizing them.
  3. Route Customers to Your Sales Team
    Distribute incoming messages among available sales team members using a conversation queue, let your Buyer Assistant bot route conversations to team members, and add an Omni-Channel flow to your bot’s actions.

    Get your sales team ready to chat with customers. Create a Messaging Session record page so that your team can manage conversations and live chat from one place. And create a custom Messaging Session compact layout so your team members can see relevant information about incoming chats in their Omni-Channel widget.
