Newo Chat Integration (Demo Agent)

Unlike the Talking Head integration, which also includes a text-only option, the Newo Chat integration is only text. This integration enables a Digital Employee to communicate through web chat. The below steps highlight the process for demoing the Newo Chat on a website. If you're looking to make the Agent live on a website as well as change settings, go here.

Demoing the Agent allows you to test the web chat functionality on a website without needing to dig into the HTML of the website.

Enable the Newo Chat Connector

The connector should automatically be running. If not, and you see the status as Stopped, you will need to enable it.

1. Navigate to the Integrations page from the left-side panel.
2. Click the three dots icon on the right of the newo_chat connector.

3. Click Run. The status will change to Running.

   2. Add a web chat postfix .webchat.newo.ai. For example: https://www-example-com.webchat.newo.ai
4. Enable the Show-case Status setting, which allows this demo feature to be turned on.
