Preferences

Set a preferred time limit to close missed chats

When an operator does not attend a chat, the chat will be moved to the 'missed chats' section. You can set a preferred time limit to close the missed chat automatically. This will convert the missed chats to closed chats after the specified duration. You can keep the missed chats open for a period ranging from 15 minutes, hours, days, a week to even a month as per your business requirement, after which they will be moved to the 'closed chats' section.

Note: Operators must respond to the missed chats before the set time here, as they cannot respond to closed chats.

Set a preferred time limit to close idle chats

You can set a preferred time limit of up to 24 hours to automatically close active idle chats in the "Close idle chat in" section. For instance, let's assume we set 24 hours here. 

1. When a chat connects to an operator and then subsequently becomes idle, i.e., there was no message sent by both the operator and visitor, the chat will still remain active for 24 hours, based on the time limit set here.
2. After 24 hours of inactivity, the chat automatically closes and moves to 'Closed Chats.' 
   
3. If the visitor or the operator sends a message during this period, the timer will reset, keeping the chat active for another 24 hours.

Note: If the chatbot is enabled for the channel, these settings will not apply. The bot's idle chat configuration will be applied

Enable/Disable configured channels 

• Navigate to Settings > Channels > Facebook Messenger . All the brands that you have configured will be listed here.
