Interacting with chat users


Support agents use Live Chat to resolve user queries. When you receive a new chat request from a self-service user or a BMC Helix Chatbot user, you can view the chat and join the session. You can view user information and use resources to help resolve the user's queries. From a chat session, you can also create an incident or a work order.

Support agents can perform the following tasks on a chat session:

Action

Reference

Notify support agents in Smart IT of incoming chats and new messages in an existing chat

Use an automated script to ask common questions to self-service users

Use common messages such as initial greeting or questions by using the type-ahead search

Use common links to troubleshoot or resolve issues

Send and receive files from the end user during a chat session

Create an incident or work order and associate the chat to an existing ticket
