Best practices
- Use targeted chats to proactively reach readers. Chatra's trigger feature lets you initiate a chat with a visitor based on specific conditions, such as time on page or the article they are viewing, before they ask for help.
- Monitor the real-time visitor list to prioritize support. Chatra's live visitor list shows who is currently on your knowledge base, letting your team reach out to readers who appear to be struggling.
- Use single-agent multi-chat to keep costs low. One agent can handle several Chatra conversations at the same time, so you don't need to scale your support team as your knowledge base grows.
- Use Code inclusion/exclusion conditions to control where the widget appears. If the Chatra widget should only appear on certain workspaces or for specific languages, configure conditions to limit where the integration runs.
- Check the Chatra help documentation for advanced features. Visit chatra.com/help for a full list of features including triggers, canned responses, and integrations with other tools.
