Build the agent
Proactive triggers
Open the chat automatically after a delay or on specific pages.
How it works
When enabled, the widget opens itself with a greeting after the configured delay — but only on pages matching your URL patterns (or all pages, if no patterns are set).
Configure in Bot → Settings → Proactive trigger.
Fields
- Enabled — master toggle.
- Trigger message — the greeting the agent surfaces. Keep under 120 characters.
- Delay (seconds on page) — how long a visitor must linger before the message fires. 0–600.
- Page URLs — one per line. Glob (
/cart*) or substring (/pricing). Leave blank to fire on every page.
Patterns we like
Cart abandonment recovery
URL: /cart*, delay 45s, message: “Need help finishing your order? I can answer sizing, shipping, or returns questions in seconds.”
Pricing hesitation
URL: /pricing, delay 30s, message: “Got a sec? I can help you compare plans or pick what fits.”
Docs friction
URL: /docs/*, delay 60s, message: “Stuck on something? I can pull the right doc for you.”
Use sparingly. Triggers that pop on every page after 5 seconds annoy people. Pick high-intent URLs (cart, pricing, checkout) and tune the delay upward until you get more positive engagement than dismissals.
