Follow-up Messages
Send clarifications or additional information to visitors after a conversation
Overview
Follow-up Messages allow you to send additional information to visitors after their chat session has ended. This is useful when you need to clarify something, correct information, or provide updates that weren't available during the original conversation.
The visitor will see your message the next time they open the chat widget on your website.
How It Works
- Open a chat conversation - Go to Chat Analytics and click on any conversation
- Click "Add Message" - Find the button at the bottom of the conversation
- Write your message - Type your clarification or follow-up
- Send - The message is saved and ready for the visitor
When the Visitor Returns
Your follow-up message will automatically appear in the visitor's chat widget when they:
- Return to your website and open the chat
- Navigate to a different page with the chat widget
- Refresh the page with the chat open
The message appears seamlessly as part of the conversation, showing your display name and the message content.
Use Cases
Multiple Messages
You can send multiple follow-up messages to the same conversation. Each message is delivered in order and all will be visible to the visitor when they return.
Tip: Keep follow-up messages concise and relevant. If you need to have an extended conversation, consider using the Human Takeover feature instead.
