== How do I get chat to appear on certain pages of my site? == === Introduction === The '''Chat''' feature in ActiveCampaign's Conversations module allows you to engage with your customers in real-time on your website. This feature not only helps in customer support but also enhances user experience by providing instant communication. By configuring the chat widget to appear on specific pages of your site, you can target your interactions more effectively, ensuring that your visitors receive help when and where they need it most. === How to Access This Feature === To access the settings for displaying the chat widget on your specified pages, follow these initial steps: 1. Navigate to the '''Website''' section in your ActiveCampaign account. 2. Select '''Site Tracking''' from the left-hand menu. === Step-by-Step Instructions === To display the chat widget on certain pages of your site, adhere to the following instructions: # After selecting '''Site Tracking''', click on the '''Tracking''' option. # Locate the '''Whitelist and Install Code''' section. # In this section, type the URL of the page where you wish the chat widget to appear in the '''Add a Website URL''' field. # Once you've entered the URL, click the '''Add''' button to save your changes. # Ensure you check the '''Conversations''' box next to the whitelisted domain. Repeat this process for each specific page where you want the chat widget to be visible. === Configuration Options and Settings === The primary configuration option within this feature is the '''Whitelist and Install Code'''. This section allows you to specify which pages should have the chat widget displayed. The key settings include: - '''Add a Website URL''': This field allows the entry of specific URLs for pages where the chat will appear. - '''Conversations''' checkbox: Ensure this box is checked to activate the chat feature for the entered domain. === Best Practices and Tips === When configuring the chat widget, keep the following best practices in mind: - Only whitelist pages that require customer interaction via chat. Whitelisting unnecessary pages may lead to overwhelming chat requests or cluttered user experience. - Regularly review the whitelisted domains to ensure that they continue to meet your business needs. - If your chat widget appears on every page, it might be due to the entire domain being whitelisted. In such cases, consider removing the domain and re-whitelisting only specific pages. === Common Use Cases with Examples === The '''Chat''' feature can be effectively utilized in various scenarios: - **Support Pages**: Display the chat widget on your support or FAQ pages where customers are likely to seek assistance. - **Product Pages**: Use the chat on specific product pages to answer customer inquiries about features, pricing, or availability in real-time. - **Checkout Pages**: Integrate chat on checkout or trouble-shooting pages to help ensure customers successfully complete their transactions. === Troubleshooting Section === If your chat widget is not appearing as intended, consider the following troubleshooting steps: - Confirm if the specific URLs where youβd like the chat to show are correctly entered in the '''Whitelist and Install Code''' section. - Check that the '''Conversations''' box is checked next to each whitelisted domain. - If the chat widget is still appearing on all pages, inspect the overall website domain settings. If the entire domain is whitelisted, remove it and ensure specific pages are correctly set. === Related Features === - Learn more about [[Conversations]] and how they can enhance customer interactions. - Explore additional setup options for your ActiveCampaign account to maximize functionality. === FAQ === '''Q1: Can I have multiple URLs for the chat widget?'''
