Dynamic Chat Overview

Dynamic Chat allows you to leverage an easy-to-use interface to target both people and accounts visiting your website. Collect relevant content such as name, contact information, and free text. Site visitors can also book meetings with your Sales Team. Dynamic Chat activity and engagement data can be used to add members to Marketo programs and trigger cross-channel activities.

NOTE

Dynamic Chat is in the process of being rolled out gradually and is currently in limited availability. This page will be updated with general availability (GA) details as they become available.

Integrations

A key component of Dynamic Chat is its ability to natively interface with your Marketo subscription. In order to leverage the full capability of this integration, you’ll first need to initiate the data sync. Depending on the size of your Marketo database, it may take up to 24 hours for data for the initial, one-time sync to complete.

The following is synced:

  • Person field data
  • Company field data
  • Activity data

Dialogues

Dialogues represent a single chat engagement. Think of it as a container with all the stuff you need to have an engaging chat dialogue to your website visitors. In each Dialogue, you can specify which page(s) you’d like the Dialogue to appear on, to whom you’d like it to be shown to, and the content and flow of the Dialogue itself. Additionally, you can find metrics to see how well your Dialogue is performing. Learn more about Dialogues.

Configuration

In the Configuration tab, customize the look and feel of your various Dialogues. Change font, colors, response time, and more! Learn more about Configuration.

Calendar

Connect your Outlook or Gmail calendar for use in appointment scheduling in the chatbot. Learn more about Calendar

Meetings

This is where you’ll see all of the appointments that have been scheduled by website visitors through your various Dialogues. Learn more about Meetings

Routing

This is where you can see a list of all the agents that have connected their calendars, what order they’ll be presented to website visitors, and create custom routing rules. Learn more about Routing
