Hey there! I'm Smoothie (check), a product manager at Freshdesk

0:00:12.348,0:00:17.481
and in this video, I'm going to walk you through how to set up a new Light Chat feature.

0:00:17.481,0:00:23.931
With this, you'll be able to engage more deeply with your website- and app visitors

0:00:23.931,0:00:26.156
and provide them with real-time support.

0:00:27.398,0:00:31.549
In your Helpdesk admin, you will see a Freshchat icon that you can click

0:00:31.549,0:00:33.324
to take you to Chat Settings.

0:00:33.324,0:00:36.277
Here, you can customize your chat window,

0:00:36.277,0:00:38.168
set your default messages,

0:00:38.256,0:00:41.280
get your installation code, and so on.

0:00:41.280,0:00:44.882
In the first section, you can change your chat window's look and location on your web page.

0:00:44.919,0:00:51.969
You can choose your window color from a palette or type in the color of your choice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to go ahead and do just that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and as you can see from the preview right next to it,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've chosen a brick-red color to go with my website.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can choose the position of the chat window

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and an (check) from the color of the screen.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to leave these two settings as they are and move on to the next section.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here, you can set the default messages you want your visitors to see

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when you begin your chat, when you end your chat,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
your chat headers, and so on. (1:22)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We have place-holder (check) set

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but you can have your own customized messages.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For example, if you are in (check) business,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can welcome your visitors by saying,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
asking them what they are looking for today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(types)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I want to change a couple more of these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(typing)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This would be my header when my chag window is active

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
(typing)

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this would be my thank-you message.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Next, we move into the pre-chat (check) form.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Checking this will allow you to obtain more information from your visitors,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even before you begin your chat.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you want to go a step further

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and would like to recognize your customers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who are already logged in to your app or website,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and pass that information to Frshchat,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can do so by logging a login API

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's available in the Chat Solution articles.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can also proactively initiate conversations with your visitors

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when they spend more than a certain amount of time on a particular page.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm going to have these two unchecked for now

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and save my chat settings.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Here you go!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You have your chat code snippet updated with all your customized settings.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can then paste this on your website

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and voilà: you have your live chat set up.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Your visitors can now chat with you

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and you can strt supporting them in real time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
