Web Chat Configuration (Legacy)
Configures the tenant-wide Web Chat widget — its colors, logo, URL-to-skill routing, notification sounds, and embed snippet — separately from the per-skill chat settings on Manage Skills
Web Chat Configuration controls the tenant-wide appearance and behavior of the Web Chat widget embedded on an external website: its colors, logo, which skill group a chat routes to based on the page it's embedded on, and the embed snippet itself. Per-skill chat behavior, such as invite text and canned messages, is configured separately under Manage Skills.

URL to Skill Mappings
A single embed snippet is used across an entire website, so this mapping — not the snippet — determines which skill group each chat reaches based on the page it's embedded on.
- Select the ellipsis next to
URL to Skill Mappings - Select
Add Mapping - Enter a name for the mapping and select
OK - Enter the end portion of the URL to match, preceded by an asterisk (
*) — for example,*/supportto match any URL ending in/support - Select the skill group this mapping routes to
- Repeat for each additional mapping needed
Mappings are evaluated top to bottom; reorder them with the arrows if a more specific match needs to be checked before a broader one.
