# Adding Nice inContact as a Channel
[Back to Available Channels](/ai-for-service/channels/adding-channels-to-your-bot#available-channels)
The Platform supports Nice inContact as a channel to integrate an AI Agent with the NiceCXone Chat Automation platform for creating a rich and synchronous messaging experience for the users.
## Types of Nice inContact Channel
The Nice inContact channel supports the following two chat interaction modes:
* **DFO** supports plain text messages, digital forms, and rich text elements such as message formatting, links, and templates.
* **Legacy Chat** supports only plain text messages. Digital forms and rich text elements like message formatting, templates, and links aren't supported.
Select the chat interaction mode on the **Channels & Flows** > **Channels** > **Digital** > **All** > **Nice inContact** > **Instructions** tab. By default, DFO is selected.
