lightning__conversationAgentSend

Messaging event triggered when an agent sends a message through the Salesforce console. This method intercepts the message before it’s sent to the chat visitor. This event is also triggered when using Enhanced Messaging channels. To work with Enhanced Messaging channels, the session must be active and the Enhanced Conversation Component must be visible on the page.
