      Description

      If the chat is configured to use the normal method, the WS returns an exception:

      {"exception":"invalid_response_exception","errorcode":"invalidresponse","message":"S'ha detectat un valor de resposta inv\u00e0lid","debuginfo":"chats => S'ha detectat un valor de resposta inv\u00e0lid: chatmethod => S'ha detectat un valor de resposta inv\u00e0lid: Invalid external api response: the value is \"header_js\", the server was expecting \"alpha\" type"}

      We need to change the param type from PARAM_ALPHA to a type supporting all the possible hardcoded methods.
