In Visitor tracking & Live chat, the Visitors module is where all the action happens. This module is home base for your Visitor tracking & Live chat, and if you click the Visitor tracking & Live chat logo in the top left corner of the dashboard you will be taken to either your:
The Chats View
In the Chats view, you can see all your active chats with visitors. When you are engaged in more than one chat at the same time, the chat window neatly organizes your active chats into tabs.
If you are on another page in your Visitor tracking & Live chat, you will know if you have active chats by looking on the left hand navigation and seeing Chats under the Visitors module—a number will be displayed next to Chats, displaying how many active chats you currently have.
Here in the Chats window you engage with your customers in live chats, where you can also send those visitors files and links, transfer the chat to another agent, or if they are spamming or harassing you, even block the visitors IP address from starting new chats.
While you chat you will also see a quick-view of the Visitor’s Info, on the right side, which will give you easy access to your visitor’s e-mail address and the page they were visiting when they initiated the live chat. You can also see the visitor’s location—represented by a small flag icon, their browser and operating system.
With this common information already at hand, you can tailor a customer’s support experience to their specifications, and move the support process along quicker by avoiding asking the customer about what browser and operating system they are using.
While in a chat, if you want to or need to see more information about the visitor you are chatting with, click the Information icon, at the top right of the chat window to display the visitor’s complete info.
This detailed view will give you access to the visitor’s IP address, more detailed location information—including State and City, along with advanced browser and operating system information.
It is easy to move back to the chat window and keep chatting, just click the Chat Window icon.
You can also click on the Notes icon, and see the notes view where you can add notes about the current chat or customer.
From the top right, you can also click the more actions icon, to have the option to print a transcript of the current chat, save the transcript as a PDF, or send the transcript to any e-mail address you enter.
You can view the chat history (if any) you have for the visitor—to get a quick refresher on the customer and their needs.
Other options for you in the Chat window are to format the text you are entering to a visitor with the format buttons (bold, italics, underline and text color) and the ability to deploy canned messages to quickly respond to common questions.
Now having preview on the shared images is made easier. You can even zoom in to view it for the actual size.
Once the file is shared by the visitor you just have to hover over the image, which shows magnifying glass a click on it will zoom in as per your need.
Once you have helped the customer, you can click End Session to end a live chat. If you are satisfied with the chat, and the customer has finished asking questions, you can click End Immediate.
If you aren’t sure if the customer is done asking questions or is even actively viewing the chat, you can choose to End Session by time (either 90, 60, 45, or 30 seconds). When you select one of these options, Visitor tracking & Live chat will begin to count that amount down, and if the visitor in the chat doesn’t respond before that time, the chat will automatically end. There is no reason to babysit dead chats that aren’t going anywhere.
The visitor will see a message and a countdown, prompting them to re-engage if they want to continue the chat, and if they start typing the countdown to close will end, and the session will continue.
When you have no active chats, you will not be able to navigate to the Chats window, and as such will not see a link to it on the left hand module column.
Need to support your visitors from different countries with different languages. Not to worry, Visitor tracking & Live chat instantly uses Google translator to translate the visitor messages on receiving a chat. On receiving a chat you will get a notification message stating the “language detected! Would you like to translate? Yes or No”. Click “Yes” to get the chat translated else click “No” to continue with the Visitor local language.
If you like to continue with the visitor local language during the chat. You can stop the translation at any time during the chat.
You can continue translation on need even if it is been stopped before.
While you have live visitors, this view will appear under the Visitors module in the left-hand navigation, displaying the number of live visitors you currently have. You can access the live visitors page, by clicking on Visitors in the left-hand navigation under the Visitors module.
Here you can see all current visitors interacting with your Visitor tracking & Live chat, their e-mail addresses, their initial question they entered when starting the live chat the time they began the chat (and the chat’s duration), and the agent they are currently chatting with.
Click on a visitor’s name to view and monitor the chat transcript of the chat they are having currently with an agent, up to the moment you loaded the view. If you are the agent who is conducting the chat, you can quickly jump back into the active chat by clicking the green Join button at the top right of the Live Visitor window.
As with the Chats view, you can also navigate using the icons to view and add notes about the customer or chat, or explore detailed information about the live visitor.
Another sub-section of the Visitors Module, you can access this view only when a visitor attempts to initiate a chat with your customer support operation through live chat, and neither you nor your agents answer. In the Missed Visitors view, you have access to the requests that are automatically created each time your Visitor tracking & Live chat misses a customer’s chat request.
This view is accessible from the left-hand navigation under the Visitors module, any time your Visitor tracking & Live chat has a Missed Visitor that has yet to be addressed.
