Enabled live chat in Service Portal

Hi all,

I need to enable the live chat in Service Portal.

When an employee is connected, other people see he connected.

But is they send the chat messages to him, it doesn't arrive at him.

The chat messages are visible (and so, usable) only when the user connects to the normal ServiceNow page (no, service portal).

How can I enable the chat also in Service Portal?

Best Regards,

Vincenzo

Hi,



In Order to setup a Queue, you need to define that under "Collaborate" module as shown below:

Queue under Social Application was for the Legacy Chat configuration. In order to work perfectly you need to define it under Collaborate Application Menu only. If the Collaborate menu is not activated then you need to navigate to "Plugins" Module and search for "Collaboration" and activate the same by opening the Plugin Record and then click on "Activate/updgarde" Related link as shown below:

Hi,


Thank a lot, not it work.


the problem was related to the installation of the second plug-in:


  • Connect Support and Service Portal Integration

I have another question related to this argument.


Now the user can active the chat from the button in the navigation bar on the service portal.


The agent that work in the group don't receive any notifications, he can understand that someone is in queue only after to have opened the chat


he can understand that someone is in the queue only after that he has opened the chat button.



Is possible to activate some type of notification?


you need to create the notification.



go to



find_real_file.png



create new notification from that module.

Hi Rushit,


Thanks for the indication but I'm thinking about something that changes in the interface of SericeNow.


For example, with the old chat, when someone writes me, the system change the status of the ion message in the navigation bar in the standard ServiceNow page.


This is the screenshot of the icon:


find_real_file.png


With the new chat, this change doesn't happen.


But is possible to see the situation of the queue only when the user (agent) click on the chat button


This is the screenshot of the icon pressed:

I have the same question.



Our IT Service Desk are missing replies from employees as there is no visual representation that the employee has responded in the chat window.



Is it possible to get a visual notification once an employee has replied?


Hi Antony - what do you mean by "no visual representation'? Just trying to get some clarification on this.



In general, once you enable desktop notifications by going to Settings cog in the upper right corner, all your agents will be receiving desktop notification on every new activity as long as they don't actively look at a chat. Moreover, you can upload MP3 file and enable audio alerts that are triggered by new activity as well.


Also, once agents accept a chat from a queue, unread messages are represented via an unread message count next to a chat.



Thanks
