Using Olark ChatLinks
ChatLinks are a great way of chatting with visitors on sites where you can't add JavaScript. If you don't want to talk to your designer or technical team add chat to a particular product page, for example. ChatLinks are also great for sharing over email and Twitter to engage people in real-time about a particular webpage.
Here's how to make a ChatLink:
- go to the dashboard
- tell us a webpage where you want to add chat
- we give you a link (called a ChatLink) to share with other people
- When other people visit a ChatLink, they will see the original webpage with the Olark chat widget floating in the corner. And that’s all you need to chat with your visitors. No need to contact your tech guy, no need to learn any code!
Some more ideas regarding what you can do with ChatLinks:
- Promote your latest real-estate listing with a ChatLink. Be available to chat immediately with interested home buyers.
- Use ChatLinks in an AdWords campaign. Offer to chat with potential clients as soon as they click from the advertisement. Great for lawyers, lenders, and insurance providers.
- Email your customers with ChatLinks to new products in your store. Talk to those customers when they visit your product pages from the email.
- Share your latest for-sale painting on Twitter with a ChatLink. Allow potential buyers to ask questions and learn about the inspiration behind your artwork.
