Quick Start Guide

Where to start? This quick start guide is meant to get you up and running with a basic unified widget with Social Channels and Live Chat integrations.

Please note that ConverseIQ comes with the ability to create additional workspaces
Workspaces act as separate "virtual spaces" where you can manage different clients, integrations, settings, and customisations independently. This segregation ensures that each client's data and configurations remain isolated, providing a tailored experience without interference from other projects. 
If you intend using additional workspaces you would need to follow the steps below for each workspace

Step 1: Configure the Default Widget

Set up your default widget which is shown on your dashboard to control what is shown on your website. 

  • Name your Widget
