Messenger Integration Account Properties
Bright Pattern Contact Center integrates with all major social messaging applications (i.e., messengers), including Facebook Messenger, LINE, Telegram, Twitter, Viber, WeChat, and WhatsApp (via Infobip, Twilio, or Vonage API Group/Nexmo), allowing Agent Desktop users to handle service chat interactions over any configured messenger channel. In the Bright Pattern platform, we use messenger integration accounts to store credentials and allow connections between Bright Pattern and your organization's messaging app accounts and/or developer portals.
