Operators settings page

On this page, you can create new operators and edit existing ones. Operators have two roles: simple operators and administrators. Administrators have access to all pages and settings. They can edit the texts and the appearance of chat widget, edit and add new operators and triggers. They can change the status of connected operators and delete all chat history messages. Finally, they can make payments and cancel subscriptions.

Shortcuts page

Shortcuts are texts that you have written and saved in our service. So instead of typing, for example, the same welcome message whenever you start chatting with one visitor, you can use the shortcuts. You just have to write only a few letters and the matched shortcuts will be displayed, so you can easily select the one you want. Here, you can assign new shortcuts and edit existing ones.

Sounds settings page

On this page, you can configure various sound alerts and desktop notifications of the onWebChat platform, for example, when you have a new message or when you have a new visitor on your website.

Blocked visitors page

Here you can see all the visitors you have blocked and you can unblock them. You can block a visitor from the chat page, so that he cannot see that chat window and write to you.

Triggers page

On this page you can add/edit triggers. Triggers are automated messages sent to your visitors, based on rules you have set. For example if a visitor is on your pricing page for more than 20 seconds, you can send him a predefined message asking if he needs some help.
