Within Teamwork Desk, your customers can use live chat to instantly message your team to resolve issues and provide information in real time. 

Note: The Live Chat feature is available on Pro subscriptions and above.

Once live chat has been enabled and set up on individual Help Docs sites on your account, your customers will see an additional live chat contact option in the embeddable contact form widget.

Customers will need to click the help icon to open the widget.

Customers can also use the paperclip icon in the message field to browse and attach a local file to their replies

Note: There is a maximum file size limit of 20MB for attachments.





Once the conversation has completed, the customer can use the exit door icon in the top right of the chat window to leave the conversation. 

They will receive a confirmation alert to end the chat, which will also display the email address a chat transcript will be sent to.
