Customers are what makes any business grow. The better customer base you build, the more your business thrives. And what helps grow this customer base, good marketing of course. Promotions can lure more people to visit your store or your website. For any customer new to a store, good customer service is going to leave a lasting impression. In store visits are handled by sales managers. They convert the potential customer to a loyal one. But this is not possible for the website visitors.

Websites have developed so much to allow the popup chats that helps the visitors raise their personal queries and communicate with the marketing team.
With Odoo Live Chat we can provide the customers with the personal attendance that will help convert them to opportunities.

This will help answer their queries regarding the aspects of the website as well as the services. With the pop-up live chat, we make it easier for the visitors to approach the marketing team. Live chats are a good way to lay the stones for a long and strong bond that could be developed. Live chat makes possible,
    - Instant connect with the company: The visitors are freed of the struggle to find the contact details. Instead, support is just a tap away. 
    - Saves time: The website visitor can interact with the company representative while they study the website. The multi-tasking possibility reduces second thoughts in contacting the company.
    - Quick replies: Live chat is to the point compared to lengthy mails. This rids the bulky conversation and allows easier communication. 
    - Negligible wait time: The instant replies prioritize the customer and help win their trust.
    - Cost-effective: The implantation is cheap and easy.  This makes the choice ideal if you are looking for an online custom care solution that fits the budget.

This blog will help you with the configuration of  live chat in your website with Odoo Live Chat app.
Live Chat in Odoo 14
The Live Chat app is available in the Odoo apps. It integrates with the website module. Once installed we can now create a live chat in our website as a popup or button.

The dashboard will show existing live chat channels. We can edit these chats or create new chat channels for our website.
Create New Chat
When we click on the create option, we will be directed to the create window.
We can provide a name for the chat channel and then configure the details of the channel. Under the operator tab, we can add the multiple operators. These operators will be responsible to attend to the queries raised in these chats.

The Live Chat button will display the text entered under the Text of the Button field. We can also set the color of the Live Chat support button.
Welcome message will pop-up whenever someone visits the website. We can set the initial greeting in this field.
The Chat Input Placeholder will be the automated message displayed in the chat to prompt the customer to start a chat. The live chat channel color can be set differently from the button color.
Channel Rules
The channel rules allow us to set rules that determine the display of the chat button. For example, if our company is based in India, we can choose to display or hide the live chat in other countries. This choice can be made on the basis of our knowledge of local languages of the other countries.

Customer chat
A published channel will be active when the operator enters the channel. The queries from the visitors will be added to the Discuss module and we can access them. It will be displayed as Direct messages and can be then answered by the operator.
Canned responses
The canned responses are the automated responses to certain queries that are expected.  We can automate responses to common conversation starters like “hi”, “hello”, etc. These predetermined responses save the time of the operator. These messages can be set to lead the visitors to their query at hand.
These canned responses can be set in the configuration menu.
Go to Configuration> Canned Responses.
