We are working hard here at Helpmonks to enhance our offering and bring you new features that will be helpful not just for your team, but also for your customers. And as we face a global pandemic, we wanted to make the line of communication easy for your customers with our new feature, called Helpmonks Engage.

Helpmonks Engage is a live chat tool embedded on your websites where you can communicate with your web visitors and support your existing customers. Engage is simple and very easy to understand, as such, there’s no need for training preparation.

Below are some guides in Helpmonks Engage :

• HOW TO JOIN A CHAT

When a customer reached out, an inline pop-up box will appear. (1) You can click on it to join the chat, (2) or when you have the Helpmonks Engage tab/page open, click the customer’s name and you will be routed to the chat window.

• HOW TO ADD AND USE A SAVED REPLY

In the Helpmonks Engage page, select the Saved Replies tab, then you will be routed to a page where you can add, delete or edit an existing saved reply.

On the Helpmonks Live Chat page, select Settings and choose the Saved Replies. From there, you should be able to add, delete, or edit an existing saved reply.

To trigger a saved reply in chat, simply press the slash sign (/) for version 2 and the number sign (#) for version 3. Then, it will appear the list of saved replies that you can choose from.

When you need to send an image or a screenshot, copy it and click the editor box. Then simply paste the image, either use the keyboard shortcut (ctrl + v or command v), or you may also use the right-click and select “paste”. To send an attachment, click the paper clip icon in the editor box and select the file to attach.

On the customer’s reply, click the “reply icon”, and a small editor box will show. For the new Helpmonks version, click the double apostrophes (") below the customer's reply, to compose your response. Click update/save to send or cancel to undo.

Yes, you can delete or edit your responses in Engage just in case you’ve sent a wrong message or made a spelling error. When you edit, your message will show in a small editor box for you to update it.

When you’re done chatting with your customer, and in case they are not able to end it, you can close and leave the chat. 

For Version 2, click the Close Chat button in the upper right corner, and click the confirmation button.

For Version 3, click the chat details icon, and an inline window will appear in the right panel to end the chat.

There are more features available in Helpmonks Engage Live Chat. We’ve added tracking, so you know when customers read your reply. And it’s even more amazing because you have an insight into what your customer is typing. That way, you can prepare your response and impress them with the speed of your reply.
