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.

0:00:41.280,0:00:46.632
In the first section, you can change your chat window's look and location on your web page.

0:00:47.358,0:00:52.008
You can choose your window color from a palette or type in the color of your choice.

0:00:52.788,0:00:54.988
I'm going to go ahead and do just that

0:00:56.842,0:00:59.467
and as you can see from the preview right next to it,

0:00:59.467,0:01:03.667
I've chosen a brick-red color to go with my website.

0:01:03.667,0:01:06.377
You can choose the position of the chat window

0:01:06.393,0:01:08.863
and an offset from the color of the screen.

0:01:08.891,0:01:12.891
I'm going to leave these two settings as they are and move on to the next section.

0:01:14.236,0:01:18.236
Here, you can set the default messages you want your visitors to see

0:01:18.386,0:01:20.376
when you begin your chat, when you end your chat,

0:01:20.376,0:01:22.376
your chat headers, and so on. (1:22)

0:01:23.123,0:01:24.773
We have place-holders set

0:01:24.773,0:01:27.563
but you can have your own customized messages.

0:01:27.563,0:01:30.233
For example, if you are in E-Commerce business,

0:01:30.233,0:01:32.533
you can welcome your visitors by say,

0:01:32.623,0:01:35.223
asking them what they are looking for today.

0:01:35.238,0:01:42.408
(types)

0:01:43.778,0:01:45.998
I'm going to change a couple more of these

0:01:45.998,0:01:51.058
(typing)

0:01:51.058,0:01:53.628
This would be my header when my chat window is active

0:01:53.628,0:02:00.058
(typing)

0:02:00.058,0:02:02.888
and this would be my thank-you message.

0:02:02.888,0:02:05.648
Next, we move onto the pre-chat form.

0:02:06.668,0:02:10.288
Checking this will allow you to obtain more information from your visitors,

0:02:10.288,0:02:12.468
even before you begin your chat.

0:02:12.468,0:02:14.348
If you want to go a step further

0:02:14.366,0:02:16.486
and would like to recognize your customers

0:02:16.486,0:02:19.456
who are already logged in to your app or website,

0:02:19.458,0:02:21.758
and pass that information to Freshchat,

0:02:21.758,0:02:24.088
you can do so by using a login API

0:02:24.228,0:02:28.228
that's available in the Chat Solution articles.

0:02:28.526,0:02:32.306
You can also proactively initiate conversations with your visitors

0:02:32.416,0:02:36.416
when they spend more than a certain amount of time on a particular page.

0:02:36.416,0:02:38.896
I'm going to have these two unchecked for now

0:02:38.896,0:02:40.616
and save my chat settings.

0:02:41.247,0:02:42.157
Here you go!

0:02:42.157,0:02:46.357
You have your chat code snippet updated with all your customized settings.

0:02:47.504,0:02:50.104
You can then paste this on your website

0:02:50.428,0:02:53.908
and voilà: you have your live chat set up.

0:02:54.178,0:02:56.138
Your visitors can now chat with you

0:02:56.138,0:02:58.738
and you can start supporting them in real time.

0:03:00.263,0:03:02.463
If you have any questions or comments,

0:03:02.463,0:03:05.243

0:03:08.918,0:03:12.178
