  We investigate the interaction between the dark sectors from a dynamical
systems perspective. A general setup for interacting dark energy models that
incorporates both quintessence and phantom fields through a switch parameter,
allowing an interaction in the dark sectors has been considered. In the first
part of our analysis, we have not assumed any specific form of the interaction
and in the second part, we invoked examples in general framework of the
interaction. The potentials of the scalar field are classified into two broad
classes of potentials: exponential and non-exponential. We identify the
potential late-time attractors of the system which have a complete dark energy
domination. From our analysis, it is evident there could be an interaction
between the dark sector. The interaction, if any, weakens over time. We find
for the quintessence field the transfer of energy from dark matter to dark
energy can flip the direction and on the contrary, for the phantom field, it is
only from dark matter to dark energy.
