Additional Information

  • On exception in this method or invalid return values, Omnichannel for Customer Service will keep translation off for the conversation. For example: if resolved JavaScript object from the returned promise does not contains keepTranslationOn field or c1Language field contains a value that is not from list of Locale IDs, the conversation will start with translation turned off.

  • Consider including minimal processing in this function because it makes the UI wait before rendering. If the run time of this function exceeds 30 seconds, the conversation will start with translation turned off, irrespective of the values of the returned promise.

  • If this method is not implemented, the following error will be displayed to the agent.

initializeNewConversation error message.
