Article summary

When an end user is unable to find help content for their issue, Whatfix Self Help can be configured to integrate with your existing live chat application. Once set up, this feature enables end users to chat with support representatives.

The live chat, once enabled, is an icon inside Self Help. The chat icon automatically displays when a search term does not return any results. End users can click the chat icon to get redirected to your live chat provider. The chat application opens in a new tab.
