Map rich controls to the channel in your custom chat integration
Create records for rich controls in the Custom Adapter Configurations [sys_cs_custom_adapter_config] table. If a rich control is missing an outbound transformer implementation, a response is not served to the end user and that user may get an unsatisfactory chat experience.
Before you begin
Create a channel identifier for your custom chat integration.
Role required: admin
About this task
You must create a mapping for any rich controls your conversations will use in the channel. For example, you may need a mapping for DefaultText, which supports input and output text response, along with file upload and image response. If your channel doesn't support a control, then you won't need to map it. For example, SMS doesn't support video responses. For a description of each default rich control, see Default input and output rich controls for a custom chat integration.
