User Experience with Article Recommendations in Web Widget

Discover how article recommendations enhance the user experience in Zendesk's Web Widget (Classic) by providing helpful resources.

What is the end user experience like with article recommendations in Web Widget (Classic)?

When article recommendations are enabled in the Web Widget (Classic), the end user's experience becomes more interactive and helpful.

Upon clicking the Web Widget launcher, users are greeted by a bot using the current brand's name. If the user enters a question within 10 seconds, the bot responds with up to three article recommendations. Users can click on these articles to view them directly in the chat window. If they don't interact with the recommendations, the bot will suggest contact channels or allow them to ask another question. This setup aims to provide a seamless self-service experience before escalating to live chat support.
