Chatbot behavior

The chatbot pop-up gets triggered only for the first user visit to your site. It doesn’t automatically re-pop up on their subsequent visits, mainly because it gets annoying for repeat users. However, they can see that it’s in the bottom right section.

We can customize the following Chatbot behaviors:

  • Exposing the Chatbot initial greeting on every visit
  • Hiding the initial greeting message on page load
  • Delay showing the Chatbot widget for a number of seconds
