Default Headers and Messages Tab

A Customer initiates a chat session. They expect the chat to display a welcoming message. Sometimes an Agent might be available to interact with the Customer, and other times, the queue might be closed or otherwise unattended. In cases when an Agent cannot interact with the Customer, you might offer options for the Customer to leave contact information. The Default Headers and Messages tab contains textboxes in which you can enter the various messages you want displayed:

1. When a Customer initiates a chat; or
2. While the Customer waits for the chat to be answered.

The following list explains the textboxes that appear in this tab. Enter customized messages as explained.
