Email Notifications

The plugin sends email notifications when visitors start new conversations.

Configuration

Email settings are in Admin → Live Chat → Settings under the Email Notifications section.

Enable/Disable

Toggle email notifications on or off. Enabled by default.

Notification Emails

Comma-separated list of email addresses to receive notifications. Leave empty to use the default admin email from Admin → Settings → General.

Example: [email protected], [email protected]

Email Template

The notification email includes:

  • Visitor name
  • Visitor email (if provided)
  • Visitor phone (if provided)
  • Visitor IP address
  • Page URL where the chat started
  • Direct link to the conversation in admin panel

Customizing the Template

Go to Admin → Settings → Email and find the Live Chat section. You can:

  • Enable/disable the template

  • Customize the email body

Available template variables:

When Emails Are Sent
