Hi everyone! New SRE here, still getting my bearings. I keep seeing "omnichannel" pop up when we talk about support tools. I think I get the basic ideaβ€”like, supporting chat, email, and phone all in one place, right?

But what makes it truly "omnichannel" and not just "multichannel"? Like, if a customer starts a chat, then calls us later, does the platform actually connect those two conversations? How does that work behind the scenes without being super complex for the agent? 😅

Just trying to understand what we should even be looking for. Thanks!
