How to set up a timer to automatically stop chats if visitors have been inactive?

While you are chatting with a customer, it often happens that you wait for a long time for the customer to send a new response.

With Comm100 Live Chat, you have the option to automatically stop the chat if a customer has been inactive for a predefined period of time. You just need to enable the option of Automatically stop chats if visitors have been inactive for more than xx minutes.​

For example, you set the time period to 20 minutes​. When the idle time of the customer is 10 minutes, a system message will be automatically sent to the customer reminding him/her that the chat is about to end:

"It’s been a while since your last response. Please respond within the next few minutes or this chat will be ended."​

And after another 10 minutes, another system message will be automatically sent to the customer reminding him/her that the chat has been ended:

"It’s been quite a long time since your last response. This chat is ended."

The 20 minutes limit renews automatically once the customer read the message and send a new response. If there is still no response from the visitor side, the chat will be ended automatically when the total idle time reaches 20 minutes.
