Release Update (Jun 13, 2023) | Live Chat Enhancements

This release update provides an overview of recent Live Chat enhancements. The enhancements allow agents to push a rating form during the chat and send automated messages after a period of inactivity. You can show live rating feedback to the agent and the visitor in the chat window. Visitor-side user experience is also improved.

Request Rating During a Chat

During a chat, agents can send a rating form to the visitor to request feedback. The rating form is embedded in the chat window so that visitors can complete and submit it conveniently.

Note: 
  • The rating form uses the post-chat survey form. To request a rating during a chat, the Post-chat survey must be enabled for the Live Chat campaign.
  • The rating form pushed by agents can only include system fields Rating and Comment. Other fields included in the Post-chat survey will not show to visitors in the in-chat rating form.

Show Rating Feedback

You can show visitors’ feedback to agents in the chat window as soon as the visitor submits a rating form. Whether the visitor submits a rating form requested by the agent or by themselves during the chat, or after the chat ends, the rating feedback shows to both the agent and the visitor.

Note: The rating feedback does not show to agents by default. To show the feedback, go to Comm100 Control Panel > Live Chat > Campaign > Language > Customize language for the visitor side interface, and include the {score} and {comment} macros in the system message for the Rating submitted successfully event.

Send Automated Messages

When the visitor or the agent does not respond in a period of time, an automated message can be sent. Agents can define the inactivity period and the message to send to visitors for the two occasions respectively.

  • Mobile chat window experience enhancement, such as: 
    • The Minimize, Close and More buttons are easier to access.
    • Visitors can quickly minimize the chat window when browsing content in the side window.
  • The Rating form and post-chat survey is embedded in the chat window so that visitors can complete it conveniently.
  • Depending on your configuration, visitors can turn on or off sound notifications through the chat window.
