Configure Routing for Your Bot  
Inbound: Send conversations to your enhanced bot Outbound: Transfer conversations from your enhanced bot

When you clone an enhanced bot, the inbound Omni-Channel flows that route conversations to your original bot don’t automatically route conversations to your new bot. To route conversations to your new bot, visit Flow Builder and edit or create an inbound Omni-Channel flow from scratch.

When you clone an enhanced bot, the Outbound Omni-Channel Flow setting and associated outbound Omni-Channel flow are retained from the original bot and automatically transfer conversations from your new bot.

To use a different Omni-Channel flow, create an outbound Omni-Channel flow from scratch and specify it in the Outbound Omni-Channel Flow setting

Any Omni-Channel flow that Salesforce creates doesn’t route conversations to or from your bot until you customize and activate it in Flow Builder.
