  • This email will come from Accounts <support@livechatinc.com>

  • The Title will be: Invitation to LiveChat.

Step 2 - You will be asked to set up your password. make sure it’s secure, and save

it. You’ll need it to log into the LiveChat Agent App. Once you set up your password, you’ll be redirected to the LiveChat Agent App. You will now have the ability to start receiving chats straight away. If you would like to have a look around first, switch your Accept Chats Status to off. If you’re going to continue later, use the Log in option on livechat.com or, better still, download the LiveChat Agent App.

Set Your Status

Accepting Chats

When you start your shift on chats, make sure the Accept chats toggle is switched on. You can use this toggle to take yourself out of active chatting at the end of your shift, during a break, or when you need to attend to other duties.

Not Accepting Chats

When you’re off accepting chats, no new chats will be assigned to you. You will still be able to finish ongoing chats, assign new chats to yourself, receive a transferred chat, and do any other work inside LiveChat.

Set Up Notifications

When you click on Notification preferences, you will be able to configure the notifications to match your workflow.
