Understanding the Requirements

To achieve this functionality, you need to create a messaging component that includes a list of options. However, simply creating a messaging component is not enough, as it may not be visible in the start conversations lookup field in the messaging settings for enhanced chat.

Setup and Configuration

To make the messaging component visible, you need to ensure that it is properly configured and set up. This may involve creating a lightning component that shows the list of options and making it available in the start conversations lookup field.

Once the messaging component is set up, you can use it to display a list of options to the customer at the start of the conversation. The customer’s selection can then be used to determine the agent’s actions.

The root cause of the issue is the lack of proper setup and configuration of the messaging component, which prevents it from being visible in the start conversations lookup field.

Step-by-Step Solution

To display a list of options in Agentforce chat, follow these steps:

messaging-component-setup.js

// Create a messaging component with a list of options
const messagingComponent = {
  type: 'list',
  options: [
    { label: 'Option 1', value: 'option1' },
    { label: 'Option 2', value: 'option2' }
  ]
};

// Make the messaging component visible in the start conversations lookup field
const startConversationsLookupField = {
  type: 'lookup',
  field: 'messagingComponent'
};
