Introduction 

A Websense widget provides users with the ability to control widgets on their target websites. With Websense, you can enhance your websites by displaying information and enabling interactive elements for a seamless user experience. Websense Widgets in Vtiger enable you to customize the Live Chat feature that is installed on your website. You can configure the widget for:

  • Online and offline welcome messages, 
  • Feedback success and failure notifications, 
  • Assigning agents, etc. 

By doing this, you can give a personal touch to the widget and make it look like your own. Customers will also relate to your company and feel welcome to talk to your agents.

Note: The Chatbot section in the Websense Widget Settings page appears only if Calculus AI is installed. (Ref)

Using a Websense Widget

To start using Websense widgets in the CRM, you need to perform the following steps:

  • Create an account 
  • Create a tracker 
  • Enable the Widget
  • Deploy the tracker

Other Aspects of Using a Widget

  • Tracker Identification
    • To differentiate conversations originating from different trackers, Websense displays the tracker name in the conversation chat. This feature helps users identify which tracker the visitor's chat is associated with, ensuring efficient tracking and management.
  • Agent Management
    • Websense allows users to disable agents within a specific tracker without affecting other trackers. This means that if an agent is disabled in one tracker, they can still handle conversations in other trackers, maintaining uninterrupted customer support.
  • Cross-Tracker Agent Assignment
    • Users have the ability to add agents from one tracker to other trackers as well. This flexibility enables efficient resource allocation and allows agents to handle conversations across multiple trackers, promoting seamless customer engagement.
  • Chat Transfer
    • Within a tracker, users can transfer ongoing chats to other agents who exist within that same tracker. This feature ensures smooth collaboration between agents and enables efficient handling of customer inquiries or support requests.

Tracker Limitation

While you can purchase additional trackers using the booster pack, you cannot use more than one tracker by default. The booster pack provides you with the flexibility to expand widget capabilities and manage multiple sections of your website independently.

The benefits of using a Websense Widget are:

  • Provides a way for website visitors or end users to interact with the system.
  • Lets you configure widgets for multiple tasks such as Chat, Promo, or Banners, Agents, Page tracker, etc.
