Website Chat

Turn a visit into a conversation

Answer questions where people discover your offer, with a chat window on your website and a shared inbox for your team.

Here’s what you can do.

Three examples show how you can use Website Chat.

01

One window. The right way to reach you.

Offer live chat, an email enquiry or your connected WhatsApp. You choose which configured channels appear in the shared chat window. Visitors decide how they want to reach you.

An open contact widget on a fictional studio website offers live chat, email and WhatsApp as configured contact options.

02

Your team replies from the inbox

Incoming live chats appear in ONE LOOP. Read the question, assign the conversation to someone and reply directly to the chat window. Your team does not need a separate chat tool.

Mira is assigned to Alex's example live chat. A reply to his question is drafted in the composer and has not been sent.

03

Keep a contact option after hours

Set office hours for live chat. Outside those hours, the widget shows an offline message and asks for contact details. Your team can reply later instead of leaving visitors waiting for a live response.

Enabled office hours in the Europe/Berlin timezone accompany an offline preview with an empty name and email contact form.

What this changes for your day-to-day work.

The practical benefits of Website Chat.

Welcome visitors in your own style

Match the colour, greeting and language to your brand. Available settings depend on the chat type you choose.

A website chat with a greeting complements a simple page preview.

Place chat where it fits your page

Use a fixed chat button in a screen corner or embed the chat directly in your page. Check that important content stays accessible on phones.

Two page previews show chat in a screen corner and embedded in the page content.

Know who you are talking to

Optionally enable a contact form before live chat starts. Visitors then provide their name and a way to reach them, giving you a basis for a later reply.

A contact form collects a name and email before live chat begins.

The right welcome for each page

Create different widgets for enquiries and support, then install them on the relevant pages. A single widget does not automatically change its greeting from page to page.

An enquiry page and help page each use a separately configured chat window.

Give your team the next step

Have an incoming reply notify your team or create a task. This needs a workflow with filters for the right channel and the specific widget.

A reply in the selected website chat leads through a configured filter to a team task.

What you need to get started.

We check available channels and possible usage charges in your ONE LOOP offer. Then we configure installation, team access, office hours and the reply channel you need. Privacy notices and any necessary consent are reviewed for your use case.

The widget is your website's entry point; the inbox is your team's workspace. AI replies are a separate addition that needs access and configuration. The chat window alone does not answer questions about your business.

Availability and any add-on or usage costs are confirmed for your ONE LOOP account before implementation.

Your questions, answered.

How does live chat differ from SMS/email chat?

Live chat takes place directly in the browser, with your team replying from the inbox. SMS/email chat captures details so you can reply later through the configured channel. A visible widget does not guarantee an immediate reply. WhatsApp needs a suitable connected number and the corresponding widget setup.

Does this work on an existing website?

Yes, if your website system allows the embed code. On ONE LOOP websites and funnels, you can select a created widget in the settings. On external sites, we check installation and possible script blockers. A global widget selection must not override page-specific embeds when you need different widgets per page.

Does an AI answer automatically?

No. Your team can run live chat without AI. AI replies need a suitable agent, knowledge, channel access and handover rules to be configured and tested separately. We check availability and usage charges for your offer; the widget does not automatically enable AI.

What happens after hours or when nobody replies?

With office hours enabled, live chat shows a contact form outside business hours and closes the session after submission. The configured business timezone applies. You can also set an inactivity fallback to request contact details when nobody replies. Following up later needs captured contact details and a configured reply channel; an anonymous visit is not enough.
