Participate in live chat

Operators are the users who respond to live chat requests from customers and website visitors. The information below outlines the necessary steps for operators participating in live chat conversations on an Odoo database.

设置在线聊天名称

Before participating in a live chat, operators may choose to update their Online Chat Name. This is the name displayed to site visitors in the live chat conversation.

To update the Online Chat Name, click on the user avatar in the top-right corner of any page in the database. Select My Profile from the drop-down menu to open the profile page. On the right side of the Preferences tab, locate the Online Chat Name field, and enter a preferred name.

If a user’s Online Chat Name is not set, the name displayed defaults to the user’s name that is designated on their profile page.

Example

用户将其全名作为其 用户名,但他们不想在实时聊天对话中包含他们的姓氏。然后,他们将其 在线聊天名称 设置为仅包含他们的名字。

Set online chat languages

If an operator speaks multiple languages, they can add this information to their user profile. This information can then be used to determine which conversations the operator is assigned. A visitor’s language is determined via their browser’s language settings.

注解

Conversations are assigned to operators based on a number of criteria, including availability and the number of ongoing conversations. While the operator’s main language and additional languages are taken into consideration, they do not supersede all other criteria.

To add Online Chat Languages, click on the user avatar in the top-right corner of any page in the database. Select My Profile from the drop-down menu to open the profile page. On the right side of the Preferences tab, click into the Online Chat Language field, and select one or more languages from the drop-down menu.

重要

Only languages that are enabled on the database can be selected in the Online Chat Language field.

加入或离开频道

To join a live chat channel, go to the Live Chat app ‣ Channels, and click the Join button on the Kanban card for the appropriate channel.

Any channel where the user is currently active shows a Leave button. Click this button to disconnect from the channel.

Operators that do not show any activity in Odoo for more than thirty minutes are considered disconnected, and subsequently removed from the channel.

管理实时聊天请求

When an operator is active in a channel, chat windows open in the bottom-right corner of the screen, no matter where they are in the database. This allows them to access other pages and apps, while still participating in the conversation.
