      • If you choose Webchat or both (Webchat and In-app), you will be presented with two configuration tabs: Design and Webchat.

  • How many chat apps can I create?

    There is no limitation on the number of chat apps that you can create for an account.

  • Our chat doesn’t let customers attach a file. Why?
    • When you create a chat app, under the Configuration page’s Design tab, check the option to let the customers attach files.

    • You can do the same for existing chat applications as well.
  • How can I change the default widget color for a new chat app?

    Select a color by clicking on the “widget color” tab, which opens a color box. After you've chosen a color, you can explore variations by dragging your cursor inside the box.
