Configuring Source Specific Settings for Live Chat

Updated 

The Source Specific Settings screen in data connectors is where you configure the details about the data source you want to connect to. This screen allows you to define the source's type, parameters, and access details to ensure the data connector can interact with it correctly. The options that appear in the Source Specific Settings screen depends upon the type of entity (We will consider System entity Live Chat here) and the entity source selected in the previous screens.
