The Enable Filesharing option allows you to enable or disable your customers' ability to share attachments. This setting does not affect your agents' ability to share attachments. Agents can share attachments regardless of this setting.

Form Fields

If you want your customers to mention their name, email address, phone number, account number, or interested department before they chat with an agent, you can provide a form on the chat widget.
