Live Chat Widget for Websites

Embed a live chat widget on your website that answers questions first, escalates to your team when needed, and captures offline leads with full conversation context.

What it does

Your widget answers questions from your trained content. When visitors clearly ask for a person, the widget queues them for your team or captures their contact details as a lead if nobody is available.

Plan requirement

Live chat handoff in the widget is available on Business and Scale plans. Free, Starter, and Pro plans have the basic AI-only widget.

Installation

Copy the widget install script from your bot's share assets, paste it into your website HTML, and the widget appears with your configured colors, title, and position.

Key features

AI answers first

The widget answers questions from your trained content before offering human escalation.

Visitor escalation

Visitors can type messages like 'talk to a person' to request human help without logging in.

Agent queue

Your team sees queued visitors in the Live Inbox with unread counts and agent presence tracking.

Direct replies

Agents reply directly to visitors from the workspace, with full conversation history visible.

Offline lead capture

If no agents are available, the widget asks for contact details and captures a lead with the transcript.

Customizable appearance

Control widget color, title, teaser, position (corner, side panel), and icon style from bot settings.

Frequently asked questions

Can the live chat widget be installed on multiple pages?

Yes. The same widget can be installed on multiple pages of your website. Visitors on different pages use the same bot and conversation state.

Do visitors need to log in?

No. The widget works for anonymous visitors. They only provide contact details if no agents are available and the bot asks for lead capture.

Can I customize the widget appearance?

Yes. Control widget color, title, teaser text, position (bottom-right, bottom-left, side panel), and icon style from your bot's settings.

What happens if no agents are online?

The widget asks the visitor for contact details and captures them as a lead with the full conversation history.

Can visitors see agent presence?

Not directly. If the visitor requests help, they enter a queue. The widget shows queued status or offline lead capture—no 'online' indicator.

Is live chat widget available on all plans?

The basic widget is available on all plans. Live chat handoff in the widget requires Business or Scale plans. Free/Starter/Pro plans have AI-only widgets.
