Custom live chat widget

Live chat that looks at home on your website.

Framebase gives website teams a live chat widget they can design with the same visual care as the rest of the site. Match the launcher and conversation surface to the brand, configure consent and retention controls, set auto-replies, and answer visitors from the same inbox that holds forms, bookings, and email signups.

Direct answer

How does the Framebase live chat widget work?

A visitor opens the chat widget on your website and starts a real-time conversation with your team. The conversation appears in Framebase, where it can be replied to, snoozed, completed, filtered, or assigned on Team. You can also configure consent, data retention, and automatic replies for times when nobody is available.

A conversation tool with design and operational control.

Live chat sits on every page and can create immediate expectations. Framebase lets you control both how it appears and how the team handles the conversation behind it.

A launcher that fits the interface

Customize the chat surface instead of adding a visually unrelated badge that competes with the website’s typography, radius, and color system.

Privacy settings you can configure

Use a consent prompt, choose data-retention windows, and control whether IP address and user-agent data are stored for the widget.

Automatic replies with clear expectations

Create rules that respond when your team is unavailable or a visitor asks a recurring question, while keeping the conversation available for a person.

Inbox state that survives handoffs

Keep chats Open, Snoozed, or Done. A snoozed conversation can reopen when the visitor writes back, and Team can assign ownership.

From website question to accountable reply

The visitor gets a fast path to a person, and the team gets a visible workflow instead of an unstructured stream of chat notifications.

Is Framebase live chat real time?

Yes. Visitors and the team can exchange messages in real time, and active conversations appear in the Framebase dashboard.

You can configure automatic reply rules that set expectations or answer common questions, then continue the conversation when a teammate is available.
