Apple Messages for Business (AMB) Channel
As an administrative user, you can create an AMB asset only from the Webex Engage React application. Webex Engage supports AMB as a channel, allowing customers to seamlessly interact with businesses using the Apple Messages app on Apple devices. This is a powerful new way for businesses to connect directly with customers. Additionally, you can share the AMB channel assets across different teams. You can transfer conversations within or across teams and assign them to team queues, individual assignees, or skills, just like the behaviour of the channels on the Webex Engage application.
