Optimal configuration #
Floatchat is a powerful tool, but its abundance of features can pose a challenge when it comes to quick setup. To streamline the process, we provide a list of the most commonly used features that we advise setting up. By incorporating all these features, you will have access to the most essential and beneficial functionalities.
- Activate email notifications from Settings > Notifications. Make sure to activate the following options: Agent email notifications, Sounds admin > Incoming conversations and messages, and Push notifications (if you are using the cloud version, Push notifications are already active). For more information on how notifications work, you can click here.
- Configure the SMTP server under Settings > Notifications > SMTP. Afterwards, test the email feature by sending a trial email from Settings > Notifications > Send an agent email notification. In case you are using the cloud version, the SMTP is already activated, but you may want to use your own anyway.
- Navigate to Settings > Messages and set up the follow-up message and offline message.
- If you are using the WP or PHP version of Floatchat, activate Pusher. In case you are using the cloud version, Pusher is already activated.
- Navigate to Settings > Miscellaneous > Performance optimization and turn off any features that are not being used.
