Nav-icon.png

Call Configuration > Chat Settings


To configure settings for customer chat interactions, select the Chat Settings option from the Call Center Configuration menu.

Chat Settings in Control Center Administrator sets defaults for chat and messenger activity timeouts and messages.

Timeouts and Intervals


Web chats
The time BPCC waits for a response before closing the chat session.
SMS or Messenger chats
The time BPCC waits for a response before closing an SMS or messenger session.
Agent Ramp-up Interval
Delays the arrival of queued chats for the length of time specified for an agent in the Ready state.


Info.40x40.png Agents receive the first queued chat immediately. Subsequent chats are staggered by the length of time specified in Agent Ramp-up Interval.


For example, with Agent Ramp-up Interval set to 5, an agent changing to the Ready state immediately receives the first queued chat and gets five seconds to greet the customer before receiving the next queued chat. After accepting the second chat, the agent gets five seconds before receiving another chat, and so forth, until the agent reaches the capacity defined by the omni-channel routing configuration.
No response timeout for initial outbound chat
For outbound chat interactions initiated by the agent, this setting specifies the period of time (in minutes) that the system will wait for a chat response from the customer before closing the chat session.


Chat Messages


These values provide the default set of chat messages used system wide.

  • Each message can be overridden by values set in Scenario Entry Chat Settings or Integration Account Chat Settings.
  • The checkbox sets the state of the message to: Custom or Disabled
Custom
Enables the message. The message will be sent when the message event is triggered.
Disabled
Disables the message. No message will be sent when the message event is triggered.
Inactivity warning message
This setting specifies the text of the inactivity warning message that the customer will receive before her chat session will be closed automatically unless she resumes chatting. This message is sent at half the time of the specified inactivity timeout. For example, if the Customer Inactivity Timeout is set to 14 minutes, this warning message will be sent in 7 minutes.
Inactivity timeout message
This setting specifies the text of the message that the customer will receive after automatic closure of her chat session upon expiration of the Customer Inactivity Timeout.
Chat ended message
This setting specifies the text of the message that tells the customer that the chat has been terminated.
Party joined message
Using variables, this field specifies the text of the message that the customer will receive when an agent or other user ($(name)) has joined the chat interaction (e.g., "$(name) has joined the session.")
Party left message
This field specifies the text of the message that the customer will receive when an agent or other user ($(name)) has left the chat interaction (e.g., "$(name) has left the session.")
Message for invitation to chat on social media
Using variables, this field specifies the text of the message that the customer will receive when an agent or other user ($(name)) invites the customer to continue the conversation on a different media channel (e.g., "To continue via $(channel), please $(link_click here)"). This option is available for tenants that have configured integration accounts for those such channels (e.g., Facebook Messenger, LINE, Telegram, Viber, etc.).

Co-browsing Messages


Chat Settings in Control Center Administrator sets defaults for co-browsing.

Co-browsing requested message
This field specifies text that is displayed in the chat widget when an agent has requested to initiate a co-browsing session with a customer (e.g., "Co-browsing session requested.").
Co-browsing rejected message
This field specifies text that is displayed in the chat widget when the customer has rejected the agent's requested co-browsing session (e.g., "Co-browsing session rejected.").
Co-browsing started message
This field specifies text that is displayed in the chat widget when a co-browsing session is initiated (e.g., "Co-browsing session started.").
Co-browsing session ended
This field specifies text that is displayed in the chat widget when a co-browsing has ended (e.g., "Co-browsing session ended.").
