message visitors see first and the suggested questions that help them start a
conversation.
Open Agent UI → Message Customization from the agent sidebar.

What you can set
| Element | Purpose |
|---|
| Welcome message | The first thing visitors read when the chat opens. |
| Suggested questions | Tappable prompts that guide visitors to common topics. |
Make the welcome message specific — “Ask me about pricing, setup, or returns”
converts better than a generic “Hi, how can I help?”
Tips
- Use 3–4 suggested questions that map to your most common requests.
- Phrase suggestions the way customers actually ask, so they double as good
knowledge-base matches.
- Keep the welcome short — it’s an invitation, not a paragraph.
