Troubleshooting Proactive Chat Message Issues

Learn why visitors might not receive proactive chat messages and how to fix it.

Why aren't my visitors receiving proactive chat messages?

If your visitors aren't receiving proactive chat messages, it might be because no agents are online. Triggers only work when at least one agent is available. Make sure to set your availability correctly. Additionally, ensure that the trigger conditions are set to run when a visitor has loaded the chat widget, which ensures the trigger activates as soon as the webpage loads in the visitor's browser. For more details, check out the article on configuring your chat availability settings.
