Proactive chat

tip

Use this feature if you'd like to proactively show a message to visitors after a certain period of time. The message will show above the chat button.

Configuration

Proactive chat message

This is the message that will be displayed to the visitor.

Proactive chat delay

This is the delay, in seconds, to wait before presenting the proactive chat to a visitor. This is an "idle" time, which is calculated as the amount of seconds elapsed without the user starting a chat session.

Proactive chat recurrence delay

This is the delay, in days, to wait before showing another proactive message to the same visitor. This delay begins after the most recent interaction a visitor has with a proactive message or with the chat widget.

info

Proactive messages will only display during the configured online hours.
