Name, greeting and header

Where it is: the name and greeting are under Design → Content & Text; the header is under Design → Theme & Colors.

Chat identity

SettingWhat it does
Chatbot nameThe title in the widget header. A name usually works better than a job title — people write differently to “Sarah” than to “Support Bot”.
Welcome messageThe first bubble, shown before the visitor has typed anything.
Greeting modeEither always use that message, or vary it by time of day.

Time-based greetings

Choose vary by time of day and you get three fields: morning (5am–12pm), afternoon (12pm–6pm) and evening (6pm–5am). Each visitor sees the one that matches their own clock, not yours — which is the point on a site with visitors in other countries. Leave a slot empty and it falls back to the welcome message.

The header

SettingWhat it does
Header colourMatches your accent colour by default. Untick that to set it separately; the text colour is picked automatically so it stays readable on whatever you choose.
Header fillA soft gradient, or a flat solid colour.
Subtitle / status textThe line under the title, beside the status dot. Empty means “Online”. With business hours on, the availability text takes over while you are closed.
Avatar / logo imageShown in the header circle instead of the chat icon. Square images work best.

Faces on the messages

Design → Widgets → Message Avatars puts a face beside every reply. During a human handoff the agent’s own WordPress profile photo and name replace the bot’s, so the visitor can see the moment a person joined.
