Live Chat with Customers

WebChat is a real-time communication module. It lets you have conversations with customers visiting your website — directly from the operator panel.

How It Works

  1. You create a chat widget and embed it on your website
  2. A customer opens the chat window and sends a message
  3. The message appears in the operator panel in real time
  4. The operator responds — the customer sees the reply instantly

Conversations (Spaces)

Each conversation with a customer is a separate “space.” A conversation contains the message history and can be assigned to an operator.

Conversation Statuses

  • Active — conversation in progress, the customer is waiting for a response
  • Closed — conversation ended

Assignment

A conversation can be assigned to a specific operator. When an operator responds to an unassigned conversation, the system can automatically assign it to them.

Operator Panel

The panel (/webchat) shows:

  • My conversations — conversations assigned to you
  • Unassigned — conversations waiting for an operator
  • All — full list of conversations

You can filter by active conversations and conversations with a delayed response (over 15 minutes).

Messages

  • Messages are delivered in real time (WebSocket)
  • Attachment support — files, screenshots
  • Links in messages are automatically clickable
  • Sound notifications for new messages

CRM Integration

A conversation can be linked to a customer or contact from the CRM module. The system can automatically recognize a customer based on their email address or external ID.
