2. Chat Behaviour Customisation
This alternative to ClickDesk live chat has more customisation chances than merely its views. From the Userlike Widget Editor , you are also able to change the way live chat behaves in your website in many different ways. From the way the chat is initially triggered, Userlike allows you to choose from a Registration Chat, where you can ask your customers for more information regarding their personal data, a Proactive Chat, which is the one automatically displayed to customers inviting them to chat with you, or you can define your own behavior rules through the Remote API.
Moreover, you can edit many other behavioural elements to decide how your operators and customers interact. From the inactivity responses or reactions (forward the chat to another available operator when the first doesn’t respond within an acceptable timeframe to the customer), to the way you send them to external links, how chat tracking is done and even group selection options.
We also recommend you to take a look at the unique potential of Userlike's Open API, Javascript API and the previously mentioned Remote API, which can be used to define your own chat rules. Userlike gives you full freedom to edit your live chat interactions.

From the Chat Panel, live chat operators can view and edit user information, check their location, request screenshots, send current chats to the CRM, sales or messaging software , set chat topics, statuses and much more.
4. Smart Chat Routing Logic
The way chats are delegated across the available operators is hugely important for the efficiency of your support operation. We have considered the key elements which build up the so called efficient service, from response time, to quality of response and others part of what makes customer satisfaction.
They are processed in a way to assure that, no matter who is online or how many operators you have, the next incoming customer will always be guided to the one in the best condition for providing support:
- After a new visitor clicks the live chat button, he will be immediately connected to an available operator, the one with fewer chats.
- The past experience of the user is taken into account. In this case, if the operator which served him last time is available, the user will be linked to this same operator.
- Our round robin system is developed to guarantee that incoming chats are evenly distributed among operators.
