Announcing the Nutshell Chat Engagement Bar With Smart Nudges
-
Capture a visitor’s attention and boost conversions in their first moments on your page using Nutshell Chat’s Engagement bar. With one click, your web visitors can learn from your chatbot, book a call, or fill out a form—keeping the opportunities rolling.
Enter the Nutshell Engagement bar!
Now you can include friendly calls to action to invite visitors to take their next step with you. By meeting your visitors the moment they need help (instead of waiting for them to find a “Contact Us” link on your site), you create more conversations that convert.
Why an Engagement bar?
The Engagement bar gives you additional features beyond your standard chat widget. You can present simple CTAs (calls to action) connected to how you want customers to convert with a single click.
The Engagement bar can include the most common CTAs, like:
- Call / Text
- Contact (fill out a form)
- Book a call/meeting/appointment
- Start a live chat
- Start a prompted live chat with pre-filled questions (like pricing, scheduling, etc.)
By steering visitors toward these actions, you actively shorten the path from initial interest to meaningful interaction. And because it’s part of the Nutshell Chat toolkit, every interaction is tracked in your CRM, so nothing falls through the cracks.
What are smart nudges?

Smart nudges are our way of encouraging your visitors to start a conversation with your bot. We look at the content of each page, and present a few questions your visitor might have. Here’s an example of what you’d see on our own features page.
You don’t need to write nudges for the dozens of pages on your site: we use the copy you already have, and use AI to suggest topics for your bot to answer.
More on the Nutshell AI chatbot
And, as a reminder, you can get started with your own Nutshell AI chatbot just by adding your URL. We’ll crawl your site, and in 30 seconds, we’ll train a bot on your business, to answer questions and convert your visitors.
How do I get started with Nutshell Chat and the Engagement bar?
You’ll find the Engagement bar built into your existing Nutshell Chat settings. Head to Engagement > Setup to manage your Engagement bar settings. Once enabled and customized, it will automatically appear on your website as part of your Nutshell Chat widget.
Nutshell Chat is available to all Nutshell customers. For more information, check out our Nutshell Chat support article.
