Chat History 

Benefits of Chat History:

1. Chat history gives you a complete overview of your customer's profile and the conversation that he/she had with your operator.
2. With chat history, you and your operators can learn about what each visitor's interests are and base the current conversation on those interests. This ensures continuity even if the operators who picked up the visitor's chat each time are different.
   
3. You can keep track of missed chats and contact the visitor later on or send a follow-up email.
   
4. You can look at the transcripts o chats that your operators had with your visitors in case any issue arises.
