The first step in configuring a chat solution for a high-volume Service Cloud portal involves enabling Live Agent for the organization. Live Agent is the core feature that provides the necessary capabilities to manage chats between customers and agents. By enabling Live Agent, you are essentially setting up the framework for handling chat interactions, including configuring routing, chat buttons, and agent management.
Once Live Agent is enabled, you can proceed to more granular settings such as defining user roles, creating chat buttons, and customizing chat windows. Enabling the feature is foundational, as it allows the organization to leverage Salesforce's real-time chat functionalities, which are essential for a high-volume support environment where quick response times and efficient customer interaction are critical.
The other options, while important in the overall setup and configuration process, are secondary and require Live Agent to be activated first for them to function appropriately within the Service Cloud environment. Thus, prioritizing the activation of Live Agent ensures that all subsequent configurations can be made around an operational chat feature.
