One-to-one Live Chat
With a private one-to-one chat in your event, the attendees have the opportunity to chat with selected agent teams. This guide will explain how to moderate the private chats and it’s functionalities in the platform.
Admin Login
The staff who administer the private chat are called Agents. Each agent will receive a link that gives them access to the admin page, from where you moderate the private chat. Each link is unique and personal, therefore several agents can’t use the same link at the same time. If there are several agents, each agent should receive one link each. There is no limit to the amount of agents in a team, usually there is around 3 agents who handle the chats.
Admin – Overview
Above you see the overview of the admin page.
Everyone that visits your chat will appear in the tab ”Active”, from there you can start interacting and answer messages from the visitors. To the left of each person there is a colored circle, if the circle is green it means that the person is online in the chat. If it is grey, the person has left the chat. An attendee automatically goes online when they visit a view, in the event, that contains a chat.
A red notification next to the name in the list, together with a sound, indicates that you have received a new message. (See picture below). All agents are able to see the chats that are active, so if you get a question that you don’t have the answer to just contact your colleague and they can continue the conversation.
Status
Next to each name there is a star icon that indicates the status of that chat.
