Set Up Customer Chat Interface

Required security profile permissions: Points of Contact View

Agents can participate in chat sessions as a medium of communication (also known as a channel) in your contact center. Customer Chat Interface is a chat client that can be added to a web page controlled by your organization and used by customers to initiate a chat session.

This topic explains how to add Customer Chat Interface to a web page. You can configure it as either an embedded or pop-out window.

Customer Chat Interface must be enabled by your account manager before you begin to use it. This chat client is just one element of the chat channel. Configuring chat for your contact center is a multi-step process. For more information, see Chat Overview.
