Subject: Upcoming Digital Channel Feature - Message parking
Is there a date planned for this feature release, and is this feature that we could enable in our non-prod region first before exposing to the production users? We want to understand how this could impact the workflow for the various digital channels, (SMS, email and web messaging). Good progress on this feature, thank you.

We are pleased to announce the delivery of Message Parking. With this feature:
Agents can park and later resume message conversations including social direct messages, open messaging, web messaging, and SMS for a configurable duration (default: 7 days).
Supervisors can view and transfer parked messages, monitor parking metrics in analytics, and manage interactions through analytics dashboards.
Parked messages do not count toward billing, average handle time, or agent utilization, and each agent can park up to 25 messages. Visual cues, such as toast notifications and transcript logs, help users track parked interactions. Feature availability and permissions depend on the license type.
