Chat widget isn't showing up
The diagnostics panel, and what each failing check means.
Chatbot & Live ChatEnterprise
Settings → Chat widget has a diagnostics panel that checks the whole chain. Work down it in order.
| Check | If it fails |
|---|---|
| Entitlement — chat entitled | Your plan doesn't include Live Chat. It's Enterprise-only and fails closed by design. |
| Widget config — enabled | The master toggle is off. Turn it on and save. |
| Loader will serve — chat enabled | The loader isn't being told to include chat. Usually resolves within a minute of saving; if not, the entitlement mirror below is the cause. |
| Redis — mirror populated | Redis is reachable but the entitlement mirror was never written — normally a configuration mismatch between services. Contact support with this diagnostic open. |
| Live bus — reachable | Real-time push is down. Conversations still work over REST, but you won't see messages arrive without refreshing. |
The tracking snippet must also be installed and loading. If Sessions is empty too, this isn't a chat problem — start at Verifying your installation.
