Note

🤔 Huh? I don’t see “Customer Chat” in the menu…

This feature is optional; if you don’t see it in the main menu, that means your administrator hasn’t enabled it yet. Administrators can learn more here.

Warning

If all agents have the chat panel disabled, customers will not be able to initiate a chat.
