00:00:08,512 --> 00:00:12,348
Hey there! I'm Smoothie (check), a product manager at Freshdesk

2
00:00:12,348 --> 00:00:17,481
and in this video, I'm going to walk you through how to set up a new Light Chat feature.

3
00:00:17,481 --> 00:00:23,931
With this, you'll be able to engage more deeply with your website- and app visitors

4
00:00:23,931 --> 00:00:26,156
and provide them with real-time support.

5
00:00:27,398 --> 00:00:31,549
In your Helpdesk admin, you will see a Freshchat icon that you can click

6
00:00:31,549 --> 00:00:33,324
to take you to Chat Settings.

7
00:00:33,324 --> 00:00:36,277
Here, you can customize your chat window,

8
00:00:36,277 --> 00:00:38,168
set your default messages,

9
00:00:38,256 --> 00:00:41,280
get your installation code, and so on.

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,882
In the first section, you can change your chat window's look and location on your web page.

11
00:00:44,919 --> 00:00:51,969
You can choose your window color from a palette or type in the color of your choice.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm going to go ahead and do just that

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and as you can see from the preview right next to it,

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've chosen a brick-red color to go with my website.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can choose the position of the chat window

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and an (check) from the color of the screen.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm going to leave these two settings as they are and move on to the next section.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here, you can set the default messages you want your visitors to see

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when you begin your chat, when you end your chat,

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your chat headers, and so on. (1:22)

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We have place-holder (check) set

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but you can have your own customized messages.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For example, if you are in (check) business,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you can welcome your visitors by saying,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
asking them what they are looking for today.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(types)

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I want to change a couple more of these

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(typing)

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This would be my header when my chag window is active

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(typing)

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this would be my thank-you message.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Next, we move into the pre-chat (check) form.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Checking this will allow you to obtain more information from your visitors,

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
even before you begin your chat.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you want to go a step further

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and would like to recognize your customers

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who are already logged in to your app or website,

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and pass that information to Frshchat,

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you can do so by logging a login API

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that's available in the Chat Solution articles.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can also proactively initiate conversations with your visitors

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when they spend more than a certain amount of time on a particular page.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm going to have these two unchecked for now

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and save my chat settings.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Here you go!

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You have your chat code snippet updated with all your customized settings.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can then paste this on your website

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and voilà: you have your live chat set up.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Your visitors can now chat with you

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you can strt supporting them in real time.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
