Ask for email: set up an inactivity message

We are always happy to deliver features requested by our customers, and Ask for email is exactly such a feature. Now you can set up a message that will be automatically sent to the customer when an agent does not respond within a set amount of time, or when your agents are offline. Ask for email allows you to set up an automatic message to inform the customers that your agents are busy at the moment and ask for contact information. You can also set up the time after which such a message is to be sent.

In Messaging Mode, this feature allows you to obtain or confirm the customer’s contact information when your agents are offline.

Searching for answers has never been easier

“Fight for every inch” is one of LiveChat’s core values. We design our products with attention to the smallest detail, and the KnowledgeBase booster update is a great example of that.

The KnowledgeBase booster is a chat widget add-on that allows customers to search through articles in the chat window. We’ve updated the booster usability and look to offer a smoother experience.

The redesigned search bar now requires fewer clicks and is more intuitive, allowing you to access topics faster through a better-looking panel.

New Routing Rules

We’ve given the URL rules in the LiveChat Agent app a makeover. You can now route chats to specific agents based on geolocation, in addition to the URL or domain. You can also specify the priority of the rules by changing their order on the list.

Routing rules let you:

• Make sure that your customers chat with the right team, e.g., those on product pages chat with Sales, and those on self-help pages chat with Support.
• Customize the Chat Widget on multiple domains.
• Support multilingual customers by routing chats to groups of agents based on the customer’s location.

Upgrade to the Business plan and start routing your customers based on location now.
