Chat Rules Wizard
Introduction
The Chat Wizard converts a static Web page into a dynamic, interactive tool.
The Wizard gives your staff the ability to answer customer questions and offer
assistance in real-time, providing your customers with immediate help when
they need it most. By combining the collaborative capabilities of the Web with
the power of live human assistance, Chat Wizard can help convert e-shoppers
into buyers, reduce the amount of time and resources to resolve problems and
provide instant access to individuals and departments, without requiring visitors
to disconnect from the Web.
The Chat Wizard can be used to enable a Contact page or any page on your
site with Chat functionality by providing a popup window invitation. A visitor can
choose to initiate a Chat request that is instantly channeled to a queue manned
by individuals who have the appropriate skills and resources to provide real-
time assistance.
Or, any page can be enabled to send an invitation to the visitor to engage in a
one-on-one Chat with a representative from your organization. By “sensing”
when a visitor is browsing your site, the Wizard extends the reach of your
company. A solicitation can be extended for any length of time you designate as
appropriate. Perhaps a visitor has been viewing your technical support pages.
The Wizard can advance the visitor’s course to a solution by offering an
invitation of live help after the visitor has remained on the page for 30 seconds.
If you are offering e-commerce applications and a visitor has not completed an
order form, the Chat Wizard can pop an offer of “live” help after one minute. The
Chat Wizard can be used to enable a single page or multiple pages on your
Web site.
To prepare a Web page with Click-to-Chat functionality (that a allows a
customer surfing your web site to hit a button that will open a text chat session
with a company representative) involves embedding an HTML application that
runs on the customer's browser, and a chat window that is integrated with the
agent's desktop software. You need to copy the HTML file from your Web
server to the client machine on which the Rules Wizard is running. Select a
destination queue from among the chat queues created in Resource Manager.
Enter the length of time that the system will allow before popping a chat
invitation. Rename your original file and create a name for the popup file
window. To activate the new page, you must stop and start iChat Service for the
database to upload the rule into memory.
