Web Chat Widget Setup
The Web Chat channel lets you place a customizable chat widget on your company website. Visitors can chat with your agents or AI bots in real time.
1. Create a Web Chat Channel
- Go to Settings → Channels → Add Channel.
- Select Web Chat.
- Name your channel (e.g.,
Corporate Website Chat) and click Save.
2. Customize the Appearance
Click Appearance to style the widget to match your brand:
- Colors: Set your primary theme color. This color is used for the launcher button, header bar, and agent message bubbles.
- Greeting: Write the default welcome message (e.g.
Welcome to Acme! How can we help you?). - Launcher Style: Choose the button icon (speech bubble, support badge, or custom image).
- Position: Set whether the widget sits in the bottom right or bottom left of the browser window.
3. Install the Snippet
- Open your Web Chat channel details in Omnix.
- Under the Installation tab, copy the Javascript code block.
- Paste the code block into your website's HTML template, right before the closing
</body>tag on every page you want the chat to appear.
