Understanding the Bi-Directional Email Feature

The bi-directional email feature in Agentforce Marketing allows for seamless communication between customers and agents. However, setting it up can be tricky, and the ‘Select a valid sender code’ error can be misleading, especially since sender codes are typically associated with SMS.

Root Cause of the Error

The root cause of the error is that the sender code is not properly set up in the ‘Forward Conversation to Bot or Agent’ activity. This is a required field, even when sending emails, and it needs to be configured correctly to activate the flow.

To fix this issue, you need to set up a valid sender code in the ‘Forward Conversation to Bot or Agent’ activity. You can find more information on how to set up the bi-directional email feature in the official Salesforce documentation.

Once you have set up the sender code, you should be able to activate the flow without encountering the ‘Select a valid sender code’ error.

Step-by-Step Solution

To set up the bi-directional email feature, follow these steps:

BiDirectionalEmailSetup.js

// Set up the sender code in the 'Forward Conversation to Bot or Agent' activity
var senderCode = 'YourSenderCode';
// Configure the 'Forward Conversation to Bot or Agent' activity
var activity = {
  'senderCode': senderCode,
  'action': 'email'
};
