What is Comm100’s Live Chat Conversion feature and how do I use it?

Comm100’s Live Chat Conversion feature links together live chat data with your onsite data, allowing you to view how many chats, and the detail of chats which drive your customers to convert.

This allows you to assess what types of chats are most useful in encouraging visitors to convert, as well as assessing exactly how much live chat contributes to the actions that sustain your business.

This article works you through how you can set up these conversion actions. The feature is only available in our live chat Enterprise plan.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Log into your Comm100 account.

  2. Under Settings, go to Conversions and Click New Conversion Action.

  3. Define a Name for the conversion action. You can then set up conversion actions according to any three criteria:

    URL: when visitors arrive at a certain page, or pages, such as a download or payment successful page.

    Custom Variable: when a custom variable reaches a certain value. For example, if you have a custom variable that defines the paying status of your visitors, you can create a conversion action when the custom variable is paying clients.
