The combination of PowerPortals, Dynamics 365 Omnichannel and Power Virtual Agents increases the level of customer engagement for customers, in this post I'm going to guide you how to add your Omnichannel chat widget that you configured to your portal.

First, below are the pre-requisites to follow the blog,

1. You have at least one Portal
2. Omnichannel is installed
