Adding a Live Chat feature to your WordPress website allows you to effortlessly connect with website visitors while offering a streamlined customer service experience. For this, you’ll need to access your WordPress account, but to start, head over to your Replyco home screen.
To set up Replyco Live Chat, first go to the Instant Tools section, then select the Widgets tab.
From the widgets page, click the "+ Create New" button.
Here you will set up the title, appearance and messaging of your Live Chat Widget, as well as assign Live Chat users. Once you’re done, click the "Save" button.
Theme: Select a colour for your live chat widget.
Background Color: Select the colour that appears behind the chat window.
Position: Choose whether the Live Chat widget appears on the left-hand or right-hand side of the screen.
Working days / Working hours / Holidays: Selecting your business hours and days of operation, as well as the holidays on which your team isn't available, will determine when web visitors see the "During business hours" or "Outside business hours" message. You may choose to use the working time from your Company Settings page.
Chat title: Give your chat a title — this is what web visitors will see immediately after clicking on the Live Chat widget, but before starting a conversation.
Introductory message: Give your chat an introductory message, such as "How can we help you?" This will be displayed at the top of the chat widget after starting a conversation.
During business hours message: Write a message that will appear on the Live Chat widget during normal days/hours of operation, as specified above.
Outside business hours message: Write a message that will appear on the Live Chat widget when your team is unavailable, as specified above.
Widget visibility outside working hours: Leaving this slider in the "On" position will display the widget, while the "Off" position will hide the widget outside of working hours.
Show welcome message: Leaving this slider in the "On" position will display the "Introductory message" above the Live Chat widget icon at all times.
Play sound for new messages: Leaving this slider in the "On" position will trigger a sound in your browser tab when new messages are sent or received in the Live Chat widget.
Widget on mobile devices: Leaving this slider in the "On" position will display the Live Chat widget on devices with a small screen, while the "Off" position will hide the widget on these devices.
Privacy Policy (GDPR): Leaving this slider in the "On" position will display an obligate checkbox for website visitors when they are providing their name and email address: "I authorize the Replyco to process my personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy *".
Message page tracking: Leaving this slider in the "On" position will display the URL of the page a visitor is messaging you from.
All fields except the "Holidays" one must be filled in this step before proceeding.
Select your newly created Live Chat widget from the Widgets screen. Then, click on the "Installation" tab and select "Copy" to the right of the HTML code.
In order to proceed with the next steps, you will need access to your WordPress account login credentials.
On the left-hand panel of your WordPress Dashboard, hover your mouse over the Appearance tab and then select Widgets.
From the “Available Widgets” menu, click on Custom HTML, and from the dropdown menu click the Add Widget button under "Footer."
You will now see the “Custom HTML” widget box appear on the right-hand side of the page.
Paste the Live Chat HTML code you copied in Step #4 into the Content box and hit Save.
Ignore the “Title” text entry field above the Content box — it will just create unnecessary text in the footer of your site that the Live Chat widget doesn’t need.
Your Live Chat widget will now appear on your WordPress site.
Using your Replyco Live Chat widget couldn't be simpler. Navigate to the Instant Messages tab of the Replyco Home screen.
From here you can view and respond to all of your Live Chat messages.
