Chat Window Designer — Launcher & Footer Customization
Chat Window Designer — Launcher & Footer Customization
Overview
The Chat Window Designer (Messaging → Chat Window in the admin portal) lets you customize how your chat launcher button and widget footer look on your website, without writing any code. Changes preview live and apply immediately once saved.
Launcher icon styles
Under Appearance → Launcher Customization, you can choose the icon shown on your chat launcher button:
- Default chat bubble
- Message
- Robot
- Star
- Thumbs Up
- Phone
- Heart
- Custom (upload your own image)
Each option shows a live preview so you can compare styles before saving.
Launcher shape
Choose from Circle, Rounded, or Square for the launcher button's overall shape. The preview shows each shape at its actual proportions so Circle and Rounded are easy to tell apart before you pick.
Adjustable icon line thickness
When using the Default icon style, a Line Thickness slider appears, letting you make the icon's stroke thinner or thicker to match your brand's visual weight. This option is specific to the default icon — custom-uploaded icons use their own artwork as-is.
Footer & social links
Under Appearance → Footer, you can add links to your social media profiles that appear in the chat widget's footer:
- Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn
- Instagram, YouTube, TikTok
- One additional custom platform with your own label and URL
If you type a URL without https:// (e.g. facebook.com/yourpage), it's automatically corrected when you click away from the field — you don't need to type the full https:// prefix yourself.
Troubleshooting
My new social icon isn't showing up — make sure a URL is actually entered in that field; empty fields are hidden from the live widget automatically.
The launcher preview doesn't match what visitors see — click into the field or refresh the Designer page; the preview updates live as you change settings, but a stale browser tab may need a refresh to pick up the latest icon set.
