Webchat

Answer an Incoming Web Chat

Your incoming web chat notifications will appear in a black rectangle in the top right corner. You may also hear a notification sound.

The notification displays:

• the customer's details. Click their name or account to open their CRM details.

• the name of the Queue and the amount of Time the customer has been in the queue.

• the amount of time since you received the notification.

Accept or Reject the web chat by clicking one of the corresponding buttons. You may see a white button next to the reject button. This opens a URL defined by your administrator.

You may have limited time to answer the web chat. If you take longer, you may automatically be put on an unpaid pause.
