A global message is a short text displayed below the chat widget’s public name. It’s meant to greet the visitors on your site and invite them to chat. It can be plain text or a link, with a maximum length of 255 characters.
How can you set up the global message?
To modify your widget’s global message, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Go to Administration > Embeddable elements > Website widget > General > Web widget global message.
Step 2: Enter the custom message you would like to be displayed to your visitors when they click to open a new chat. If you’d like to add an emoji, simply copy an emoji from a list and paste it into the box.
Here’s an example:
