Setting up your Web Widget
You can configure your live chat widget by going to Web Widgets from your left side navigation panel. For more information on how to create and configure your web widget, check this article
Adding the Web Widget to your website
Simply copy the JavaScript code in the Go Live section of your Web Widget and paste it inside the <head> section of your website’s HTML.
Important Requirements
- Set up office hours to define your availability.
- Complete your auto-assignment roster to ensure incoming conversations are assigned correctly.
Adding Agents to the your Web Widget
If you haven’t invited your agents yet, navigate to the Invite Users tab to invite them.
Once you have users in Avochato, you will want to add them to your roster. Go to Settings > Auto-Assignment to add your users to the roster.
If your user profile is Owner or Manager, you will have the ability to mark these agents available or unavailable. Each individual agent also has the power to control their availability in real-time.
Understanding the Different Statuses
- Available – You will be assigned incoming conversations
- Unavailable – You will not be assigned incoming conversations
- Away – You will not be assigned incoming conversations, intended for longer ‘breaks’
- Be Right Back – You will not be assigned incoming conversations, intended for shorter ‘breaks’
Setting Chat Limits
Within the auto-assignment roster (Settings > Auto-Assignment), you will have the ability to set the chat limit for each individual agent. Once an agent reaches their limit, they will no longer be assigned new conversations. Pending tickets will go into a queue and will be assigned to an agent when they become available.
Note: Your contacts will not be able to send an inbound message until they are assigned to an available agent.
Enabling Live Chat Seats
In order for your agents to be able to send live chat messages, they need to have the live chat seat enabled.
Having a seat enabled is different from being available. The below options show two agents who have live chat seats, but only one is available to be assigned new conversations.
Live Chat Dashboard & Reporting
By clicking on your Org Name in the top left corner, you can access your Avochato Dashboard. The dashboard will give you a bird’s eye view of active tickets, agents’ availability, an inbox overview, and a live snapshot view. Read more about dashboard and reporting capabilities [here].
Salesforce Integration
Yes. With Avochato’s native Salesforce integration, you can embed the Live Chat Widget on the lead or contact record. Each new live chat conversation will create a new case in Service Cloud. The complete conversation transcript will also sync to Salesforce once the ticket is closed. If you are within the Avochato platform, click the ↔ button next to a contact’s name and it will take you directly to the case within Service Cloud.
Additional Features
When a contact submits their information on the AvoChat widget, they will receive a custom auto-response that you configure (learn more about Set Responses here). When they are assigned an agent, they will see that person’s name and if they are currently typing a response. The agent will also see when the contact is typing.
Agents will receive an alert when a contact has left that webpage for 2 minutes. This may be a sign that they are no longer there and the conversation can be closed.
Post Convo Surveys
Agents will have the ability to capture information about the live chat conversation via a Post Convo Survey. All questions and drop down responses are customized to fit your unique business needs. The data captured can later be used for reporting and data analytics. Additionally, if you have our Salesforce integration, results will automatically be logged to the Salesforce Object Field.
