Display offline button

tip

Use this feature to show an alternative version of the chat button during offline hours.

Description

When this feature is on, the configured parameters will be used to render an offline version of the chat button.

Configuration

Offline button is clickable

Select this if you'd prefer to have the button still clickable to grant visitors access to Instant answers or Inbox's offline auto-reply message.

Offline text

This is the text that will be shown on the offline version of your chat button. Leaving this blank while configuring the icon parameter will result in an "icon only" button.

Offline icon

This dropdown provides some offline versions of the default six Inbox chat icons, as well as providing a generic X icon and a "Custom" option. There is also a "None" option which will result in a text-only button when used in conjunction with a populated "offline text" value.

Offline icon SVG

When selecting "Custom" in the icon dropdown, you can set the icon to any SVG you'd like by pasting the SVG text, including the enclosing <svg> tags. You can also adjust the padding to change the size of the SVG graphic relative to the button text.

Offline text color

This parameter defines an alternative color for the offline button's label and icon. This is useful for providing a "faded" variant of the text color to indicate that the button is not interactable.

Hiding button when offline

When turning the entire "Display offline button" feature off, the chat button will simply be hidden during offline hours.

info

The configurations in this feature will be applied while outside of the hours configured in the online schedule feature.
