Triggered Messages (for visitors)

Proactively reach out to your website visitors by sending triggered (push) messages and start a conversation based on who they are, where they’re from, and what they do on your website. Interact, capture, and qualify leads automatically with triggered messages. 



Create Triggered Messages

You can create a new triggered message in a few minutes. Click on the Marketing Automation icon in the left menu bar, then select Chat Campaigns > New Campaigns > Triggered Messages > Compose message.




Give a meaningful name to your triggered campaign.


Pick a team member

The first step is to pick a team member who will receive the replies, if any. This will help your customers connect to the right experts in your team and your team to conversations they’re best at handling.


Write your message

Next, compose your message. Make it engaging by adding emojis, images, GIFs, and even videos. 


While you are composing your message, you can see a preview of how it’ll appear to your customers on the right.


For example, if you’re an e-commerce company, you can send out offers to customers if they’ve spent some time on the cart page. You can add a discount coupon image instead of plain text to make your offer more appealing to your buyers.



If you’re in the B2B business, you can trigger a proactive message when a visitor lands on your product comparison page, displaying a video of how you stack up against your competitor.


Pick a Topic to launch your campaign

Choose the right Topic on which you want to launch your triggered message. This will make your message more contextual. Any replies sent will be assigned to the chat group (your team) mapped to that Topic. This will help you route leads to the right team.


Send your message during your office hours 

Map your message to a Business Hours for Chat setting to avoid missing important leads and send your message when your team is available to respond.


Set the trigger conditions

Don’t spam your website visitors. Set a limit on the number of times this message will be triggered for each visitor. 


Set up your audience criteria

Create your audience rules,


Set up the conditions to define the target audience of your message.


For example, visitors who spend more time on your pricing page could be contemplating on making a purchase. You can nudge them with the right message, offering to help them choose a plan or answer any questions they might have. 


Pro-Tip: You can also combine 'and' with 'or' filters for more powerful audience targeting.


Launch your Campaign

You’re now ready to launch your message!
