Customize your chat box
Looks aren't everything...but they sure do help. Customers are more likely to engage with a customized chatbox that's visually consistent with the rest of your website, so we make it easy to adjust colors, shape, and position — and to update your custom chatbox look and feel as your brand evolves over time.

Choose your colors
Use a color wheel or enter a hex number so your chat box primary and secondary colors match your brand.

Make your chat box human
Greet your customers with a friendly hello and a smiling avatar. You can customize text that will grab your visitor's attention, and have your agents upload a headshot.
