Charla FAQ and Support
Quick Navigation
Agent Dashboard
When you switch your availability to offline, a couple of things happens:
- You no longer receive notification for incoming message on the desktop or mobile app.
- Your profile photo no longer appears when a visitor launches the widget on your website.
This is not to be confused with the widget schedule, where you can set specific days or hours to appear as online or offline.
A user is considered Online 🟢 if we received a message from him within the last 15 minutes. He’s considered Away 🟡 if more than 15 minutes have passed with no incoming messages. The session ends after 30 minutes of inactivity.
The tick means that the website visitor saw your message. If the visitor switched temporarily to another tab on his browser or another website, the tick won’t show up, meaning he didn’t see your message yet.
Basics
In Charla you have two roles you assign to your team:
- Account Owner. Have full access to Charla Backend, including creating/deleting properties, setting working hours, widget customization, and billing. This is the role automatically assigned to yourself, and you can assign to managers for example.
- Team Member. Has access to all conversations on the deskop and mobile and can initiate conversation using the Live Visitors panel. If you have a large team, you can assign this role to different team members.
Mobile Applications
When you switch your availability to offline, a couple of things happens:
- You no longer receive notification for incoming message on the desktop or mobile app.
- Your profile photo no longer appears when a visitor launches the widget on your website.
This is not to be confused with the widget schedule, where you can set specific days or hours to appear as online or offline.
Make sure that the Charla app has the permission to display notifications. Open the Settings app âž¡ Notifications âž¡ Charla, and make sure Allow Notifications is on. If you have an Android device, you can follow the same corresponding steps.
