Customizable Contact Form Messages in Chat Widget
👀 What’s New?
Sub-accounts can now customize the “Please share your contact details” default prompt shown in the Chat Widget. This enhancement introduces **two distinct, editable message fields, **giving users full control over how and when contact details are requested, both automatically and agent-triggered.
👷 How It Works:
A - On the left panel of the chat widget builder section > under 'Chat Window' tab, Contact Form Intro Message (Auto Prompt) is present:
- Visible only when “Enable Contact Form” is ON

- Shown automatically before the contact form appears in the chat widget
- Default text: “Please share your contact details”
- If left blank, the widget skips this message and directly renders the contact form
Applies to all chat types:
- Live Chat
- SMS
- All-in-One
B - On the left panel of the chat widget builder section > under 'Chat Window' tab, Contact Form System Message (Agent-Triggered) is present:
- Always visible in the builder (regardless of toggle state)

- Shown **when an agent clicks “Request Contact Details” **from the Conversations panel

- Default text: “Please share your contact details”
- If left blank, the widget skips the message and directly shows the contact form
Applies to:
- Live Chat
- All-in-One (Live Chat)
⭐ Why It Matters:
- Eliminates confusion caused by hardcoded system prompts
- Improves visitor trust and conversion rates
- Significantly reduces high-severity support tickets
- Strengthens white-labeling and brand consistency for agencies and SaaS users
📝 Notes:
- When Enable Contact Form is OFF:
- Only the Contact Form System Message is used (agent-triggered flow)
- When Enable Contact Form is ON:
- Visitors see the Contact Form Intro Message automatically
- Agents can still request contact details manually using the system message
- Leaving either field blank skips the prompt and shows the form directly
