Bot Customization Overview

Accessibility

• Chatters can navigate the entire chat with a keyboard and/or screen reader.
• Depending on your brand color, the chat will automatically adjust to ensure color contrast between elements on the page. Chat content will always have sufficient contrast.

Access Bot Branding Customization 

To customize your bot, head to Settings > Bot Setup > Bot Customization.

There are three categories you can customize: General, Chat window, and Chat button. 

In the General tab, you can access:

• Predictive suggestions (optional)
• Privacy Policy link (optional)
