Social Live Chat is an add-on for QloApps. This add-on will allow you to live chat with your website visitors.
Facebook is the most used social platform. You can find a majority of your users on facebook. And mostly they are already logged in so they are always one click away to connect to you.
So having the facebook messenger on your website is a great way to connect to your visitors.
It will not only allow you to support your customers but also generate more leads. This can be an elixir to your revenue generation campaign.
And that why we have bought you the QloApps Social Live Chat add-on. So let us discuss this module, its installation, features, and functionalities.

Configuration QloApps Social Live Chat
Before you configure the module you will have to get Facebook Access Token and Page Id.
Getting Facebook Access Token and Page Id
The first step is to go to https://developers.facebook.com and create an app.
Now on the next page enter your details and click on Create App Id
Once done, you will land on the dashboard. On this page we are interested in two further options:
Messenger: To set up your messenger and get the credentials
Webhook: To use the functionality of getting the messages when you were offline
On this page, you will have to add the page or create a page first.
After adding or creating the page you can Generate the Access Token.
Now you have the Add Id and Token but to use the offline message feature you need to set up Webhook, which you will find on this page only. Here click Add Callback URL.

You will find these details in your QloApps Social Live Chat module under the working hours section.
