Setting Up Website Chat

Learn how to configure and publish Website Chat, customize the visitor experience, and test that new inquiries are captured correctly in Releventful.

Written by Naomi Sherman

Review the website address, widget appearance, lead handling, and published settings. Test from the public site.

Why this matters

Website chat can help visitors ask questions and submit an inquiry without waiting for your team. When available for your account, approve its guidance and test the visitor experience before publishing it to a live page.

Before you start

Confirm website access, the intended brand, and the team member who will follow up with new leads.

In Releventful

  1. Click Settings

  2. Click Rae AI

  3. Navigate to Configure Rae

  4. Click Sales Guidance & Rules

  5. Navigate to Website Chat

  6. Enter Allowed Sites, Brand, Opening Question, and Published Lead Form

  7. Click Save Setup Draft

In Review & Approve, select the saved version, inspect it and click Approve this saved guidance.

In Website installation, select that approved version, click Publish selected version, copy it's embed code and add it to a test page. Then submit an inquire to check the lead.

How to make the most of this step

After testing guidance, review the permitted website pages and the installation area for the embed code. A saved draft is not a live visitor experience. Publish, install the code on a controlled page, submit a test inquiry, and check the resulting lead, owner, and any appointment or workflow before adding chat broadly across the site.

A useful decision

Published chat is a separate account feature. The team can prepare and test sales guidance before activation; a live website should show the published version only after it is approved and installed.

Check the result

Submit a test inquiry from the public site and verify that the conversation, lead, and any appointment appear for the team.

Important to know

Saving or previewing guidance does not contact a visitor. A published chat can create a lead and start an existing workflow after an inquiry is submitted with permission to follow up.
