This Action is used to display a widget that allows visitors to initiate a chat by clicking on a HTML hyperlink.
The following configuration options are available for this Action:
Category: This is used to specify the category associated with this widget. Including this information helps to route the chat session to the appropriate queue.
Chat Login Page: This is used to specify which chat login page is displayed to the visitor.
Chat Login Page Height: This is used to specify the height in pixels of the window in which the specified chat login page is displayed.
Chat Login Page Width: This is used to specify the width in pixels of the window in which the specified chat login page is displayed.
Container Element ID: This is used to specify the ID of the widget container.
Custom Fields: This is used to specify the RightNow custom data fields whose values should be passed along to the customer contact agent when the chat initiates. You must enter the data in this field in key-value pairs where the key is the custom field ID and the value is the value of the custom field.
Enable Availability Check: This is used to specify whether the widget should check agent availability before displaying the invitation to the visitor. If no agents are available you can still display the Invitation and use the Available With Wait Label Template to inform the visitor of the expected wait time before an agent will be available. If you disable this functionality then the widget is always displayed to the visitor.
Enable Polling: This is used to specify whether or not this should be a polling widget. A polling widget continually checks for agent availability and updates the Invitation accordingly.
Ignore Pre-Route: This is used to specify whether or not to ignore chat session pre-routing for this widget. Visitors are pre-routed to a chat queue based on agent availability. As a result, any information they enter after being pre-routed is ignored. If you want customer data to be considered when routing to a chat session, you should check this check box.
Note: It is possible that customers may then be routed to a different queue than the one originally determined by agent availability.
Information Element ID: This is used to specify the HTML element that displays the widget.
