OPTIMIZATIONBest Practices

Best Practices for Configuration

Maximize the efficiency of your live chat team and automated chatbot with these recommended configuration guidelines:

1. Define Operating Hours

Set online schedule hours so visitors see automated lead capture forms when your human support team is offline.

2. Set Up Smart Triggers

Trigger greetings for visitors who stay on checkout pages for over 45 seconds to rescue potential cart abandoners.

3. Route Inquiries Accurately

Use department keywords (billing, tech, enterprise) to auto-dispatch conversations to specialized agents.

4. Standardize Canned Replies

Maintain a library of pre-approved canned responses for common questions to ensure fast, consistent communication.
