How to Customize the Offline Message Form

The 'Offline Message' feature allows your customers to send messages even when the chat is offline. These messages are automatically converted into tickets and added to your ProProfs Live Chat tickets dashboard.

A single offline message form is associated with a particular operator group. You can create multiple offline message forms by customizing the message template for each group. Alternatively, you can integrate a ProProfs survey or third-party survey as an offline message form.

Here's an example of an offline message form:
