Understanding channels

Updated on August 4, 2022

Channels are a means of communication that customers can use to interact with a company. These communications can be outbound (allowing you to send out messages to customers) or inbound (allowing customers to contact you or otherwise respond to your brand). Pega Customer Decision Hub includes support for the following channels:

You can enable or disable any of the individual channels. If a channel is toggled off, its status is stored in a decision data rule (DDR) and the related part of the strategy framework is turned off. Setting the toggle to on reactivates the related part of the strategy framework.
