Set up your Chat profile

The agents' names and pictures are the first things that will be visible to visitors once they open the chat widget. Seeing a name and a friendly picture will encourage them to ask for help and possibly lead to a purchase or contract with you. 

1. Go to Settings > Chat profile.
2. In the Your name field, enter your name. We recommend typing your full name or simply your first name like "Betty Duncan" or "Betty". Avoid "Betty D.". 
3. Optional: In the Title field, enter your role in the company. We recommend using a role name that makes sense to your visitors, such as Sales representative or Support team member. 
   
   ❗️ Important

   If you chose to have different support languages, remember to update the Your name and Title fields with the respective translations using the tabs under the fields. 
4. From the Photo section, click on Choose an image. You can upload a picture from your computer, take a picture with your camera, choose a picture from your Facebook or Instagram account, or paste a link to your picture. We recommend using a real and friendly picture of you that will give trust to your visitors.
