Find out more about how to personalize your chat.

You can personalize the order of the modules:
Below you can see a default modules' order:
Let's go through each of the modules.
Chat module
Here you can decide, for whom your chat should be accessible:
Access:
- Recognized Users - the module is visible only to recognized users, who are considered as contacts in the user.com app.
- Visitors - module visible only to anonymous users.
- Allow to start conversation - if it is switched on, a visitor can start conversation first and write a message on chat; if it is switched off, a visitor cannot start a conversation on chat and cannot write any message. Switching it off is usable when you are building automation where you send the first message based on the action performed by the user.
Knowledge Base module
Here you can decide for whom articles from your base should be accessible:
Promo highlight module
You can, for example, promote special offers straight from the widget. You can add both: an image & a text or a link.
Multilanguage widget module
The widget supports multiple languages for each of its sections. You can set a default chat message according to the language. More information about chat languages and default chat language, you can find here.
Widget visibility module
Here you can decide how your chat shall behave, depending on your needs.
Additionally, you can set exactly on which pages the widget should be displayed.
The '*' indicates a widget that is visible on all pages
NOTE: You need to add here the website address with http:// or https:// at the beginning.
Use case
We want to show the widget on all blog articles but not on the blog homepage (e.g. user.com/blog)
Then in the website address, we have to add an entry:
https://user.com/blog/*
If we type:
https://user.com/blog*
this widget will be displayed on all blog pages but also on user.com/blog123 pages
State: 'hidden' hides the widget on all websites.
More information about what each state means, you can find here.
