Visitor tracking and live chat is all about making your customers feel comfortable. Comfortable enough to reach out and connect with you right from your websites. Comfortable enough to open up and ask questions. Comfortable enough to keep coming back.

We realize how important it is for your live chat software to blend in smoothly with the rest of your brand. So we make it easy to customize every customer facing aspect of your Visitor tracking and live chat. 

Adding a new embed

While you can plug the same embed onto multiple pages of code, or in your template to appear on all of your pages. You also have the flexibility to create new embeds and specifically design those chat portals for specific pages, products, departments or subsets of customers.

You want to create an embed specifically for members of your VIP plan. You can place this portal only on your VIP plans page on your website behind your secure login, giving only these select customers access to this specific chat.

With the ability to create and customize multiple embeds, the possibilities of what you can do, and how you can organize, segment and connect with your customers is endless.

To create a new embed:

1. Click "Settings".
2. In the Web Embed section click the "+Add" button.
3. Enter the name of your new embed.
4. Choose to associate the embed with a specific department, or choose to “allow users to select department”.
5. Choose what you want your chat waiting time for this embed to be.
6. Add a welcome message.
7. Once you are finished configuring the details of this new embed, Click "Generate". 

Have it your way

Not only can you customize your buttons, widgets, and chat windows to match your brand’s look-and-feel, but we also give you the freedom to choose where and how you include live chat, and give you multiple options of how to display to your customers their ability to connect instantly with you.

Float Window

The float window is a handy way to attract your visitor’s attention throughout your pages without intruding into their on-page experience. When you embed a click-to-chat portal on a page with the Float Window option, you give your customers consistent, easy-to-find access to great customer support through live chat. 

Because the window “floats” along your visitor’s browser, even as he explores a page and scrolls down, your chat widget is still visible.
