Understanding Chat Sources: SMS vs. Website Widget

Learn how website chats and SMS conversations are combined, and why some contacts appear as anonymous visitors.

Chat Intelligence combines two sources into one log: conversations from your embedded website chat widget, and SMS conversations (including automated follow-ups from missed calls). Note: A contact who hasn't provided identifying details may appear as an anonymous visitor ID (for example, "Visitor #2F6A6C") rather than by name.
