Chat widget settings reference
Every field on the settings page and what it changes for the visitor.
Chatbot & Live ChatEnterprise
Requires an Enterprise plan.
Appearance
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Bot name | The name shown in the widget header — usually your product or a persona name. |
| Bot subtitle | The line under the name. Good place for "Typically replies instantly" or your hours. |
| Icon source | favicon uses your site's own icon, custom uses the avatar URL you supply, deepsync uses the DeepSync mark. |
| Bot avatar URL | Used when icon source is set to custom. |
| Theme colour / text colour | The widget's accent and the text drawn on it. Set both — a dark accent with dark text is unreadable. |
| Position | Left or right corner of the viewport. |
| Show branding | Whether "Powered by DeepSync" appears. Removing it requires the branding-removal entitlement. |
Behaviour
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Master switch. Off means the loader serves no widget at all. |
| Launcher mode | launcher shows a persistent bubble the visitor can click. manual shows nothing until something opens it — autonomous mode, or you, from the inbox. |
| Welcome message | The first thing the visitor sees when the widget opens. |
| Offline message | Shown outside your configured hours, when no one is available to take over. |
| Quick replies | Suggested prompts shown as buttons. Use them to steer people towards questions you know the bot answers well. |
manual launcher mode plus autonomous triggers is the low-annoyance combination: no bubble following people around, and the widget only appears at the moment someone is visibly stuck.
