Let’s take a look at the flexibility Xeno offers:

  • Showing a welcome bubble to visitors.
  • The amount of time before your welcome bubble is displayed. 
  • Chatbox: name, button image, position.

  • Over 50 language translations, for customers and staff.  

 

Messages

Your brand voice is important, that’s why we give you the option to customize your greetings messages, canned responses and manually and automatically triggered messages. The Xeno chatbox will also automatically translate your text into 54 languages depending on the location of the user.

 

Automated Communication

Xeno has a wide range of automated communication options that you can choose from to fit your needs. You can set up your chatbox to automatically open, send messages to visitors, conduct surveys, display top bars and much more.

You can use automated communication to:

  • Open the chatbox.

These features can help you to welcome visitors to your page, let them know you are there to help, offer tips, collect lead information, help with onboarding, increase conversion and more.

You can customize the text of these messages, how many times they are shown and what allows them to be shown. Once you have these dialed in, the message will be sent without you having to do anything. What’s more, you can set up auto-messages to be sent in online and/or offline mode.

 

Avatars

Xeno gives you the option to include an avatar in live support conversations. This is a super important feature for modern businesses, helping you to offer a personalized service online. 

You have the option to set-up an individual avatar for each team member or one for your whole team and you can include real life images or specifically designed illustrations.

 

Auto-Translate

Xeno’s auto-translate feature enables you to talk to customers in their native language. Auto-translate currently supports 54 languages. Once the feature is enabled Xeno will translate your team members words into the language of the recipient and vice versa, giving you the flexibility to offer support worldwide. 

 

Meetings 

Xeno’s “Meetings” feature stops the tedious back and forth of trying to organize meetings. 

Customers may not want to talk to an agent straight away, or there may not always be an agent available.

With “Meetings”, customers can book a call or even a face-to-face meeting with an advisor automatically, without even having to speak to a team member.

And there are many customizable options to adapt this feature to your needs. You can choose:

  • Type of meeting: you can change meeting types, depending on the schedules of your employees, such as a telephone call, product demo or video call. 
  • Location: meetings can be online or in person.

  • Meeting descriptions. 
  • Which team members you invite to be at the meeting. 
  • Staff availability.  
  • How to book meetings. There are several options: from a dedicated webpage, manually during conversation, through conversation flows, from the chatbox home screen and team members can book meetings from their end too.

When creating these surveys, you can build them how you like, depending on your needs. You can choose from:

  • Yes – no questions.

  • Open-ended questions. 

You can also send more than one survey to a visitor to your site, if they answer the first survey, you can send another automatically, and so on. And you can customize the order the surveys are sent in.

 

Scheduling

You can tailor Xeno to offer live support on a timetable that suits your needs. Scheduling will automatically turn live chat off or on, based on the settings you choose. The option is also there to offer 24/7 support, although this is not a viable option for many businesses. 

There are two types of scheduling that you can customize: 

  • Live chat scheduling: set when live chat will be available across a brand. 
  • Scheduling for team members: Set when team members will be invited to join new chats.

If you would like to schedule times based around your companies’ working hours, no problem, have team members working different schedules, part time or international? You can schedule that too.
