=head1 PUBLIC INTERFACE

=head2 new()

Don't use the constructor directly, use the ObjectManager instead:

    my $ChannelObject = $Kernel::OM->Get('Kernel::System::CommunicationChannel::Phone');

=cut

sub new {
    my ( $Type, %Param ) = @_;

    my $Self = {};
    bless( $Self, $Type );

    return $Self;
}

=head2 ArticleDataTables()

Returns list of communication channel article tables for backend data storage.

    my @ArticleDataTables = $ChannelObject->ArticleDataTables();

    @ArticleTables = (
        'article_data_mime',
        'article_data_mime_plain',
        'article_data_mime_attachment',
    );

=cut

sub ArticleDataTables {
    return (
        'article_data_mime',
        'article_data_mime_plain',
        'article_data_mime_attachment',
        'article_data_mime_send_error',
    );
}

=head2 ArticleDataArticleIDField()

Returns the name of the field used to link the channel article tables for backend data storage to
the main article table.

    my $ArticleIDField = $ChannelObject->ArticleDataArticleIDField();
    $ArticleIDField = 'article_id';

=cut

sub ArticleDataArticleIDField {
    return 'article_id';
}

=head2 ArticleBackend()

Returns communication channel article backend object.

    my $ArticleBackend = $ChannelObject->ArticleBackend();

This method will always return a valid object, so that you can chain-call on the return value like:

    $ChannelObject->ArticleBackend()->ArticleGet(...);

=cut

sub ArticleBackend {
    return $Kernel::OM->Get('Kernel::System::Ticket::Article::Backend::Internal');
}

=head2 PackageNameGet()

Returns name of the package that provides communication channel.
