Benefits of Delaying Proactive Chat Messages
What are the benefits of delaying proactive chat messages?
Delaying proactive chat messages allows customers to notice the chat option and fill out the pre-chat form before receiving a message. This can lead to a better customer experience by ensuring you collect necessary contact information.
By giving customers time to initiate the chat themselves, you can also reduce the likelihood of overwhelming them with immediate messages. This approach can help in creating a more personalized and less intrusive interaction with your website visitors.
