Creating quick links for agents and enabling clickable URLs
As an administrator, you can enable agents to share hyperlinks with the end users in the following ways:
- Creating quick links—Quick links are the links that agents frequently share with end users to troubleshoot, resolve issues, and speed up the interaction. As an administrator, when you create quick links, the links are available to all agents in the system. Agents can create their own quick links for their individual use.
- Enabling clickable URLs—Clickable URLs are the hyperlinks that agents copy and paste in a chat message during a conversation. By default, the URLs pasted in a chat message are not clickable. As an administrator, you enable pasting URLs into the chat as clickable.
To create quick links for all agents
- As an administrator, in the Virtual Chat Administration Console, select Agent Toolkit > Open URLs.
The Open URL to Customer Configuration pane appears. - Click Create to create a new URL, or select an existing URL and click Modify.
Enter the following information:
Field Description Name Type a descriptive name for the URL. Owner Type the owner name of the URL. The owner is the user who created the URL. For example Allen. Company Select one of the companies from the list if using multi-tenancy. If multi-tenancy is not used, select Global. Status Select Enabled or Disabled. A disabled URL cannot be used but can be enabled for use at a later time. Message Type the message that is sent to the user when the agent shares the URL with the user. Link Label Type the label that you want to appear on the hyperlink for the URL. URL Type the complete URL address. - (Optional) To verify that the URL address is accurate, click Test URL.
- Click Save.
