Chat Session
A Chat Session is a period in which messages with “customers” have been exchanged.
The interval between Chat Sessions is generally 30 minutes however you can customize it by following the steps below. To better understand the use of a Chat Session imagine that you are chatting with a customer, and you close the chat because the issues is fixed. If the same customer sends you a text again after 3 days for example this will activate a “New Chat Session”. Meaning a new incoming or outgoing message will create a new session.
How to set it up?
Step 1
Go to “Value Text Setup” >>> In Step 1 you will find “New conversation difference time (enter in minutes)”. There you can define the custom time in “Minutes” Like 10,20, 30, etc.
E.g.: If you select 30 minutes ever messages after those 30 minutes of no texting will create a New Chat Session.
Refer to the image below.
