Chat Support

The Chat tool enables real-time messaging with your users through a widget embedded in your website and product.

The Chat Dashboard

The main chat page is your central hub for managing conversations:

Chat List

The left sidebar shows all conversations:

  • Open/Closed Filter — Focus on active or resolved chats
  • Search — Find specific conversations
  • User Context — See if the chat is from a website visitor or product user

Chat Analytics

The right panel displays:

  • Daily Chats Graph — Chat volume over the last 30 days
  • Total Chats — Overall conversation count
  • Website vs Product — Breakdown by context

The Conversation View

Click any chat to open the full conversation:

The Conversation Window

  • Full chat history with timestamps
  • Reply to User — Send messages to the user
  • Internal Notes — Add notes visible only to your team

The Context Sidebar

Crucial information about the user and their session:

Information

  • User ID & Email — Identify who you’re talking to
  • Country & Device — Browser, OS, and location for debugging

Activity

  • Last URL — The page they were on when they messaged
  • Live Events — Real-time view of user actions as they happen

Actions

  • Mark as Read — Update conversation status
  • Close Chat — Resolve and archive the conversation

Enabling Chat

Chat is enabled through the Dock. In Project Settings:

  1. Navigate to the Dock section
  2. Enable the Chat option
  3. The chat widget will appear in the Dock for your users

Live Events Feature

One of Chat’s most powerful features is Live Events. While chatting with a user, you can see their actions in real-time:

  • Page navigations
  • Button clicks
  • Form submissions
  • Errors encountered

This helps you understand their problem without asking them to describe every step.

Best Practices

  1. Respond Quickly — Users expect fast responses in chat
  2. Use Context — Check their recent activity before asking questions
  3. Watch Replays — For complex issues, watch their session replay
  4. Add Internal Notes — Document solutions for your team
