Rich Messaging Fallback
Rich messaging is a term to describe buttons, quick replies, and other message types that are more than just plain text. Some channels, like Digital Experience Chat, support rich messages. Other channels, like SMS, only support plain text. Fallback for your rich message types allows your bot to send rich messages no matter what channel it's using. Channels that do not support rich messages will display the fallback instead of the rich message itself.
This is different than regular fallback, which is based on your bot's confidence to understand the customer's intent.
