Wix AI Site-Chat is a customizable on-site chat interface that provides your users with engaging natural conversations that inform them about your products and services. With a straightforward installation process, site visitors can make purchases and access support whenever they need it.

Step 1 | Add AI Site-Chat to your site

Add Wix AI Site-Chat to your site via the Wix App Market in your site's dashboard before placing it in your editor.

2. Search for the Wix AI Site-Chat app in the search bar.

Chat intro message

A welcome message can help your site visitor start a conversation and increase engagement.

In the Chat intro message section, click the checkbox next to the message type you want to use and enter the message:

• Write an initial chat message to start the conversation: Enter your message in the field. We recommend writing a short, inviting message that includes your business name, as if they were entering a real store.

• Add a legal disclaimer in the chat: Enter a disclaimer in the field letting site visitors know that the conversation is powered by an AI chat. This helps users understand that mistakes or misunderstandings may occur. The disclaimer will appear once to every site visitor, right after the first welcome message.

• Write an initial chat message for your visitors when the AI chat is offline and not responding to messages: Enter a message in the field that site visitors will receive when the AI Site-Chat is offline. We recommend letting users know when it will be back online, and asking them to leave a short message that will be responded to later.
  

Note:

Remember to click Save Changes once you have entered a chat intro message.

Contact form

Using a contact form is an great way to keep in touch with your site visitors. Once a visitor fills out the form, the information is sent to your inbox and contact list so you never miss a sales lead. The AI Site-Chat will only send the form if it does not recognize the visitor as a contact.

In the Contact form section, select the relevant options:

• Send the form to new visitors only in the chat when:The AI chat is unable to answer a user's question: The form is sent to new visitors only when the AI Site-Chat cannot answer the visitor's question.
  A user asks to speak to you directly instead of the AI Site-Chat: The form is sent to visitors and you will receive it in your Inbox to respond later.
  

• Choose form fields: The following fields appear on the form by default. The Email field is mandatory, but you can deselect the Name, Phone Number, and Message fields.Name
  Email (this field is mandatory)
  Phone Number
  Message
  

Note:

Remember to click Save Changes once you have configured your contact form settings.
