Set the text that’s displayed to your customers in the chat window when
there are agents available, when there aren’t agents available, and when the chat is
connecting to an agent. We recommend customizing your labels in Embedded Service setup, but
you can use these settings to override what you have in Setup.
The legacy chat product is in maintenance-only mode, and we
won't continue to build new features. You can continue to use it, but we no longer
recommend that you implement new chat channels. Instead, you can modernize your
customer communication with Messaging for In-App and Web. Messaging
offers many of the chat features that you love plus
asynchronous conversations that can be picked back up at any time.
