@Conversation
⁠
takes place between the
@Bot
⁠
and the
@Bot User
⁠
(messengers, social networks, omnichannel platforms, etc.).

@Project Channel
⁠
is an
@Agent
⁠
setting, i.e. connection of the
@Agent
⁠
to the

⁠
configured in the
@Platform
⁠
(messenger, social networks, widgets).
A connector is a functionality of the
@Platform
⁠
and a set of rules, a driver for connecting an
@Agent
⁠
to a specific
@End Channel
⁠
.
