More Chat Widgets, More Customization: Full Screen, Orb, and Flexible Embedding

The chat widget system gets a major expansion with new widget styles, full-screen mode, and deeper customization options. Whether you want a subtle orb in the corner, a full-screen conversational experience, or a widget embedded inline within your page — you now have the flexibility to match any use case.

What's New

  • Full-Screen Widget Mode: Launch the widget in full-screen mode for immersive conversational experiences. Perfect for dedicated support pages, onboarding flows, or landing pages where the AI conversation is the main event — not a sidebar distraction.

  • Orb Widget Style: A compact, modern widget design that sits unobtrusively on your page until clicked. Includes a transcript toggle so visitors can review their conversation history without leaving your site.

  • Chat & Voice Toggle: Visitors can switch between text chat and live voice conversation within the same widget. Start typing a question, then switch to voice for a more natural interaction — or vice versa.

  • Target Div Placement: Control exactly where the widget appears on your page by targeting a specific div element. Embed it in a sidebar, a support page, or inline within your content — not just floating in the corner.

  • Widget Customization Options: Configure widget appearance, behavior, and default settings to match your brand. Control colors, positioning, default open/closed state, and which capabilities (chat, voice, or both) are available to visitors.

  • Website Data Context: Data extracted from your website is sent to the widget session, giving your AI agent real-time context about what the visitor is looking at when they start a conversation. A visitor on your pricing page gets a different conversation than one reading your blog.

  • Widget Session Logging: Every widget interaction — chat messages, voice calls, page navigation — is persisted to the database and appears in the contact's conversation timeline. Your team sees the full picture of every visitor interaction.

  • Support Widget in CRM: Your team now has a support chat widget accessible directly from the CRM left sidebar. Get help or access resources without leaving the platform.

Why This Matters

Widget for Every Use Case: Full-screen for dedicated support experiences, orb for subtle engagement, inline for contextual help — pick the widget style that fits each page and scenario.

Brand-Consistent Experience: Customization options ensure the widget feels like a natural part of your website, not a bolted-on third-party tool. Your brand, your look, your conversation.

Context-Rich Conversations: Your AI agent already knows what pages visitors have been browsing. Conversations start with context, not cold intros.

Complete Interaction History: Widget sessions appear in your CRM timeline alongside calls, emails, and SMS. One unified view of every customer touchpoint.

Conversation Snooze: Defer, Focus, and Never Lose Track

Conversation Snooze: Defer, Focus, and Never Lose Track

Not every conversation needs attention right now — but every conversation deserves attention eventually. The new snooze feature lets you temporarily hide inbox conversations and bring them back at exactly the right moment.

What's New

  • Snooze Until a Specific Date: Pick any future date and the conversation disappears from your active inbox until then. Perfect for "follow up next Tuesday" situations where you don't want the clutter now but can't afford to forget later.

  • Snooze Until Next Reply: Snooze a conversation and it automatically reappears the moment the contact replies. No timers to set — the system watches for you.

  • Auto-Unsnooze Logic: Snoozed conversations automatically return to your active inbox when conditions are met — either the date arrives or a reply comes in, whichever happens first. Nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Snooze Filters: Filter your inbox to see snoozed conversations separately, review what's coming back soon, and manage your deferred items without disrupting your active workflow.

Why This Matters

Inbox Zero, Your Way: Snooze lets you clear non-urgent conversations without losing track of them. Focus on what's urgent now, and let the system remind you about everything else at exactly the right time.

No More Sticky Notes: Stop writing "follow up with John on Friday" on a Post-it. Snooze the conversation until Friday and it shows up automatically.

Team Accountability: Snoozed conversations have a clear return date. Managers can see what's been deferred and when it's due back — ensuring nothing sits in snooze limbo forever.
