Website URL on which Live Chat will be placed - Contains the list of URLs on which your livechat will be operation. We call this process as whitelisting URLs on where Livechat should be operational. If you are unsure of the URLs for now, you can put "*". Putting an asterisk (*) , means that this particular Livechat will be operation on all websites provided the livechat code is embedded there. Further,
If you want chat to work on all pages on the domain - example.com
If you want chat to work on all pages on all subdomains - *.example.com
Note - For Livechat to be operation on a website (say www.example.com), two things need to be there 1. Live chat code needs to present on www.example.com ( See Installation Section for more information) 2. www.example.com URL needs to be put in "Website URL on which LiveChat will be placed" section in Livechat builder. 3. Webview URL should not be used in web as it is not the best practice and has some limitations. |
