INTEGRATED CUSTOMER SERVICE

The Integrated Customer Service allows users to download the SDK provided by the customer service system and integrate it on the website so that the website can contact customer service for call operations. The call queue is used as the customer service number. The users can use this SDK to embed a simple Click2Call link into their websites. This will allow visitors to quickly call an agent in case they need help, without having to dial any number or leave the web page.

For further information and how to configure this feature, please refer to this link detailing all the steps needed:
