Meeting website visitors where they are is crucial to giving them the best experience with your company. With Web chat, website visitors can start conversations with your team from your customized chat widget. It’s easy to set up your Web chat widget with your universal Nutshell tracking snippet, allowing you to give visitors the answers they need, connect them with the right person, and collect information about potential prospects.


From the colors and icon on your chat widget to the forms you offer visitors—craft a chat experience that encourages conversations and perfectly strengthens your brand.
Whether your team is online or off, collect essential information about visitors so you can meet their needs or connect them with the team member who can. Maintain a natural conversational experience when you choose to gather website visitor information through the chat, one question at a time, instead of asking visitors to fill out a form. And because Nutshell Chat is built into your CRM, every detail is automatically stored on the visitor’s contact record—so you can access contact information, preferences, and important notes whenever you need them.


Admins choose how to assign incoming chats so they’re distributed evenly throughout your agents. With assignment options like round-robin, specific-user, and queue, you ensure that visitors are helped quickly when your agents are online.
Chatting with a visitor who seems like a good fit for your products or services? Add a new lead for them directly from the chat thread so you can start sending them through your sales pipeline and win a new deal!


Turn visitor inquiries into leads—even after business hours. Nutshell Chat also includes the option to implement an AI-powered chatbot that welcomes every visitor, answers questions using your chosen knowledge sources, and nudges them to call, text, book a meeting, or share their details—automatically creating a lead and boosting conversions. With the Nutshell AI chatbot, your team can focus on high-value interactions while leads keep flowing into your CRM.
With the Engagement report, you can visualize how customers interact with your chat widget to optimize chatbot interactions and drive more sales. See the whole journey, from first visit to conversion, and invest in the engagement actions that create the best outcomes.
