Chat window re-opens on new pageload with agent initiated chats
When an agent initiates a chat with a web visitor and the visitor closes the chat window, I'd expect the window to stay closed and respect the visitor's preference not to chat. However, on each subsequent page load the chat window re-opens for the web visitor. Is this the expected behavior? I am using the float not the embed chat. Here is the code we implemented on our website.: var $zoho= $zoho || {livedesk:{values:{},ready:function(){}}};var d=document;s=d.createElement("script");s.type="text/javascript";s.defer=true;s.src="https://livedesk.zoho.com/apliiq/float.ls?embedname=apliiq";t=d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];t.parentNode.insertBefore(s,t);

Tip #12 - Lighting up your personalized sound preferences
We all have a differing needs for sound notifications on visitor actions. Sound notifications are perhaps one of the most important feature. when it comes to responding customer inquiries via Live Chat.

Tip #11 - Alone we can do little, together we can do so much!
Providing great customer service can make all the difference in creating a brand that people trust. There comes time where an agent may not be able to handle the customer due to many reasons. It may be that the agent is not so clear with the particular domain or need some status information from others or may not be able to comprehend the question or so. In order to give away the prompt answers, the agent can't jiggle around the team, cannot ping or make calls to peer group to seek assistance always.

However it is not feasible in real time to have a traditional classroom discussion with all the agents. How to make our agents equipped with information?

Chat Window needs to stay on top of other applications
When a customer connects to us, we can hear the RING on the computer but we all have many windows open (unfortunately) and finding the right tab is not a practical way to respond since many times our Agents will not respond because they are busy doing something in another software/window. If the CHAT would pop-up within any other window will make this software far more useful. Maybe this feature is already available and I am not aware of this? Thank you Robert
Field mapping issue between livedesk and CRM
Hi, When a new lead is created in Zoho CRM after a livedesk session, and that lead later is converted into a contact in Zoho CRM, then the full name (first name and last name) is both mapped to the field "last name" in the CRM-contacts. Could that be fixed somehow, so that the first name entered in the Livedesk Chat would be mapped the crm-contacts-lastname and the first name entered in Livedesk would be mapped to crm-contacts-firstname? Thx Bo
Can I Create Two Client Lists?
We are doing business with two counties and I would like with separate client lists. Can we do this?
Tip #6 - Exploring Notes Icon
It’s always been a tough job to maintain a record for each chats to know whether it has an Email or Note. A Chat might have a reply email for a visitor, a note added by a visitor or an agent to act upon or both. Checking each and every chat to find whether it has an Email or Note is time consuming. However it is not feasible when the chat volume is high. This can even end up in loosing customer if it is not taken care properly. Do we have a solution? LiveDesk comes with an easy user friendly Icon,
Tip #5 - Customer Support Crystal Ball
Agent response time has always been an important key to customer satisfaction. An agent should always be prepared for a quick response, to keep their visitors in chat from leaving. The customer always expects to get an answer in the shortest time as possible. But how an agent can answer their questions more quickly? Does LiveDesk have a solution? Yes, Gaze into the future, Always be a step ahead to see what your customers type as they type and magically make custom solutions appear before they ever
Tip #4 - Business Hours
If you don't provide 24/7 support to your customers, Your agents have to make sure that they 'Sign In' and 'Sign Out' at the right time. If not, your website visitors might initiate a chat as your agent left their operator console logged in, which keeps your embed online. Make sure you always acknowledge your availability and give your customers a better sense of your business hours as to when they can expect a personal response to their chats. If not you might run into the risk of turning off customers
Tip #3 - Managing global reputation
It’s said that a Happy Customer will tell to five others about their experience. But an unhappy one can tell thousands or more. There is nowhere to hide in today’s hyper-connected world, as "Twitter" plays its part to haunt companies. The rise in smartphone use has made it easier than ever to check these sites while moving. The best way a company can prevent negative publicity is being approachable, as many customers resort to "Twitter" posts. But if you don’t have time to monitor it closely, it
Tip #2 - How do I schedule my agents?
Operator Scheduling The most common question I get while doing live chat is “How many operators do I need and how do I determine when it’s best to schedule them to be on duty?” Fortunately there is an easy Solution in LiveDesk which helps you to make your decision. Where to find? The LiveDesk Report -> Visitors-> Visitor details -> Click Hours Easy Fix On this page you can see overall visitor traffic on your site, the number of visitors who chatted with you at a particular time.This is super helpful
Tip #1 - Canned Messages
Easy use Canned Messages It’s easy "less typing". Instead of continually typing out the same steps, instructions or links to help your customers handle common issues, build an organized repository of the answers you need, and with them always right at your fingertips you are a few clicks away from deploying the perfect solution. In LiveDesk, we use the concept of Canned messages. A Canned message is a predefined live chat message that operators can send to a visitor, increasing speed and operational

Suggestion, tasks in CRM
Hi, First of all let me say that we are very pleased with Livedesk. A suggestion related to the CRM integration: The feature to set up a automatic follow up task in CRM is great. Especially when the chat was unattended. I suggest that you make it optional for this task to occur if the chat has been attented. Often when a chat is attended there is no need for a follow up, and if there is then the agent can set this manually. What often happens is that a chat is attended, the system automatically set

Sharing chat transcripts between agents
Hi, When an agent uses the search function of Zoho Livedesk, the agent will only see search results (chat transcripts etc) from chats within departments where this particular agent is active. Would it be possible to apply an option, so that agents are also available to see transcripts and results from chat departments where the agent is NOT active? Example: My Finnish speaking staff is not active on the English chat department. But sometimes the Finnish speaking clients uses the English chat. It
issues with livedesk
1. If client hits the X (close) button to end the session, they are not presented with an opportunity to give feedback. 2. The - (minimize) and X (close) buttons do not appear until the user puts focus in one of the text controls in the chat window. 3. On an iPhone, I have to click the X (close) button twice to close or minimize the chat session. Thanks. Matt
CRM Task assignment, missed chats
Hi, Our Livedesk is integrated with Zoho CRM. Overall we are very pleased with the product. Question: When no agents are able to answer a chat, the missed chat is tracked in CRM and a "missed livedesk chat - follow up" task is assigned. Currently all tasks for missed chats are assigned to the Livedesk administrator. Would it be possible to assign the follow up task to the agent (if the option to choose agent is available) who did not answer? Or maybe choose a "responsible agent" for all chat embeds?
Can't get Chat to work at all
First time using this Chat - will not display on my site at all? I can see the zoho code when I view source but the button does not display? I tried the regular button and the floating button. I tired IE, FF and Chrome. I copied the embed code and placed just before the closing </head> tag. I can see in firebug the scripts are being loaded without error but nothing is displaying on my page. I'm at a loss and don't know what else to try? I'm on godaddy using the website builder for a client. any suggestions?
"Off line mode" made to scare clients away?
Hi there, I need to comment on the behaviour of the livechat when no agents are online. Currently a pretty ugly dark grey color is applied to both the float chat as well as the chat button. I do not want to go into a long explanation here, just i want to say the following. "The point of the livechat (and the crm and many of Zohos other platforms) is to pick up leads/ contacts in order for us to convert these leads/contacts into profitable business" So - why make the off-line part of the chat so ugly,

A few questions
Hi there, thank you for adding a nice new service. We are currently using another Chat-client but will surely move to a paid version of LiveDesk in case it meets our requirements. I have been running some tests and have the following questions. 1) The text in the floating wen embed seems awfully small on our web page. Is there any way to make it bigger and choose font? Take a look at it here: http://2base.com/dk/tryghed/ 2) When customizing the web embed float button there are "first line text and
