Before you begin

Make sure you have read how canned text is displayed to agents.

To create quick links for all agents

1. As an administrator, in the Virtual Chat Administration Console, select Agent Toolkit > Open URLs. 
   The Open URL to Customer Configuration pane appears.
2. Click Create to create a new URL, or select an existing URL and click Modify.
   

3. Enter the following information:

   Field	Description
   Name	Type a meaningful name for the URL.
   Owner	Type the name of the user who created the URL. For example Allen.
   Company	Select one of the companies from the list if you are using multi-tenancy. If you are not using multi-tenancy, select Global.
   Support Queue List	Select one or multiple support queues from the list. The quick links are displayed to agents belonging to the selected support queues.
   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.
   Status	Select Enabled or Disabled. A disabled URL cannot be used but can be enabled for use at a later time.

4. (Optional) To verify that the URL address is accurate, click Test URL.
5. Click Save.

 To enable pasting URLs into the chat as clickable

1. As an administrator, on the IT Home Page, select Virtual Agent > Virtual Chat Administration Console. 
2. Select Self Service Portal > Configuration. 
3. From the list of entries, select Interfaces - Core Chat Services. 
4. In the Configuration section, set the value of the <optIn> parameter to true. 

5. If required, specify the allowed protocols and and domains in the <allowedProtocols> and the <allowedDomains> parameters.
   If these parameter values are empty, URLs with any protocol or domain are allowed. 
   
   The following code is an example of enabling pasting URLs into the chat as clickable:

   <optIn>true</optIn>
   <allowedProtocols>["http", "https"]</allowedProtocols>
   <allowedDomains>["com", "edu"]</allowedDomains>
   </linkify-config>
