From the previous point on, the chatbot will be connected to the channels you have configured on your Sunshine app.
Offloading/Handover to Zendesk agents:
On the point of your bot where users should be transferred to a human agent, add an Action and insert the template “send to offload provider”. From the list picker, Sunshine connection will appear, and you can connect with your Switchboard integration ID:
