Hey there! I'm Smoothie (check), a product manager at Freshdesk
-
and in this video, I'm going to walk you through how to set up a new Light Chat feature.
-
With this, you'll be able to engage more deeply with your website- and app visitors
-
and provide them with real-time support.
-
In your Helpdesk admin, you will see a Freshchat icon that you can click
-
to take you to Chat Settings.
-
Here, you can customize your chat window,
-
set your default messages,
-
get your installation code, and so on.
-
In the first section, you can change your chat window's look and location on your web page.
-
You can choose your window color from a palette or type in the color of your choice.
-
Not Synced
I'm going to go ahead and do just that
-
Not Synced
and as you can see from the preview right next to it,
-
Not Synced
I've chosen a brick-red color to go with my website.
-
Not Synced
You can choose the position of the chat window
-
Not Synced
and an (check) from the color of the screen.
-
Not Synced
I'm going to leave these two settings as they are and move on to the next section.
-
Not Synced
Here, you can set the default messages you want your visitors to see
-
Not Synced
when you begin your chat, when you end your chat,
-
Not Synced
your chat headers, and so on. (1:22)
-
Not Synced
We have place-holder (check) set
-
Not Synced
but you can have your own customized messages.
-
Not Synced
For example, if you are in (check) business,
-
Not Synced
you can welcome your visitors by saying,
-
Not Synced
asking them what they are looking for today.
-
Not Synced
(types)
-
Not Synced
I want to change a couple more of these
-
Not Synced
(typing)
-
Not Synced
This would be my header when my chag window is active
-
Not Synced
(typing)
-
Not Synced
and this would be my thank-you message.
-
Not Synced
Next, we move into the pre-chat (check) form.
-
Not Synced
Checking this will allow you to obtain more information from your visitors,
-
Not Synced
even before you begin your chat.
-
Not Synced
If you want to go a step further
-
Not Synced
and would like to recognize your customers
-
Not Synced
who are already logged in to your app or website,
-
Not Synced
and pass that information to Frshchat,
-
Not Synced
you can do so by logging a login API
-
Not Synced
that's available in the Chat Solution articles.
-
Not Synced
You can also proactively initiate conversations with your visitors
-
Not Synced
when they spend more than a certain amount of time on a particular page.
-
Not Synced
I'm going to have these two unchecked for now
-
Not Synced
and save my chat settings.
-
Not Synced
Here you go!
-
Not Synced
You have your chat code snippet updated with all your customized settings.
-
Not Synced
You can then paste this on your website
-
Not Synced
and voilà: you have your live chat set up.
-
Not Synced
Your visitors can now chat with you
-
Not Synced
and you can strt supporting them in real time.
