How to Customize the Offline Message Form

 

The ‘Offline Message’ feature allows your customers to send messages even when the chat is offline. When a customer submits an offline message, it is automatically converted into a ticket 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.

 

Benefits of offline messages:

  • Never miss a support opportunity
  • Track & resolve tickets when you come back online
  • Capture leads even when you're offline

 

Here’s an example of an offline message form:
