You can adjust the ChatBot Chat Widgetā€™s settings to match your brand style.

Enable the Welcome screen, change the bot’s default name, add the bot description, enable whitelabel, disable the text field, and add your social media platform in the General section of the Chat Widget integration settings.

When theĀ bot is integrated with LiveChat, allĀ changes should occur in the LiveChat Chat Widget configurator, which should be installed on your site.Ā See how to customize the LiveChat Chat Widget.

If you have theĀ bot integrated with Facebook MessengerĀ orĀ the bot integrated with Slack, you cannot adjust the chat window, as the integration does not use ChatBot chat windows.
