Properties object

Learn about the Properties object used with the Automation Framework and Bot v3 API

The properties object is used in the PUT /bots/v3/authors endpoint to update metadata information that appears in the author profile in Care. This information provides contextual data to the agent, as well as additional organizational metadata you can use to serve end users better.

This metadata includes standard contextual information such as an author's gender and location, but it can also contain data useful for troubleshooting and data organization.

Each field in the object has a string value type.
