Change the greeting
Select Greeting Message to enable and change the chat message your customers see 10 seconds after they’ve landed on your website. This makes them aware that there’s a chatbot ready to help and starts the conversation.
Change the chat color, position, and avatar
Under Chat Color you’ll find the option to position your chat widget either bottom left or bottom-right in your website. You’ll also be able to update the featured color of your chat widget and upload an avatar image that represents your brand.
Change the confirmation message
When a customer sends you a message through chat, they'll get a confirmation message on their screen to let them know you’ve received it. You can change the text of this message under Confirmation Message.
Enable Hello and Order chatbots
Under Chatbots you can enable or disable two chatbots—the Hello bot and the Order bot.
- The Hello bot automatically responds to basic greetings, such as “Hi,” or “Hello”. It asks for more information before either handing customers over to the Order bot for queries about an order or sending a message to your inbox.
- The Order bot is for e-commerce websites. If a customer has placed an order through your website, the Order bot will update them with their order status or give them basic information about their order.
Set your availability hours
By default, your availability hours are set to the times when you respond on average. You can, however, specify the days and times when you’re available under Availability Hours.
Enable or disable chat
Switch Enable Chat on or off to add the chat widget to your website or remove it.
Change the name in your chat widget
Changing the name that appears in your chat widget will also change your website name and, if you do not have a domain name, the website link. Follow the steps to change your site name.
