Webchat from Get Reviews

webchatThe Webchat option from Get Reviews gives you the ability to convert website visitors into prospective new patients. With the Webchat widget, you can respond to your website visitors via your Get Reviews Inbox.

With Webchat, you can:

  • Capture leads: Get more patient leads from your website and save them as new contacts within your Get Reviews dashboard.
  • Work as a team: Increase team productivity by assigning conversations to another team member, so you can get your visitors the answers they need right away.
  • Respond faster: With Webchat's push notifications, you can respond to questions and requests even more efficiently. You can also respond to chat messages via text if the visitor leaves your website.
  • Customize everything: Your Webchat widget is fully customizable, so your branding will show through every step of the way. You can also add a personal touch to your chat window and let visitors know who they'll be texting with.
  • Respond automatically: Chat in real-time with customers while they are on your website using Livechat. But when you are away you can let Robin, Get Review's AI-enabled Chatbot, automatically respond to frequently asked questions about your business.

Using Live Chat

When your staff is at their computers, you can activate live chat on your website by simply signing into your Get Reviews dashboard. All incoming messages will come straight into the Inbox with an alert so that you can respond right away.

Setting up desktop notifications


If you have multiple windows open on your computer, it's possible you could have your Inbox buried and not see an incoming chat. If you'd like, you can enable desktop notifications to ensure you never miss an incoming chat.

  1. From inside your Get Reviews dashboard, click your initials in the top right corner.
  2. From the dropdown menu that appears, select 'Notifications'.
  3. Click the blue 'Edit your notifications' button in the top right corner, select your business location, and then click 'Edit notifications' again.
  4. Scroll down to the "Browser Notifications" section and click the linked text for "Enable browser notifications".
  5. You'll see a pop up on your browser asking if you want to allow notifications. Click 'Allow'.
  6. Click the blue 'Save' button in the bottom right corner.
  7. Double check your computer's settings to be sure you don't have them set to block desktop notifications. These notifications will show up in the top right corner of your desktop, not in the browser window itself, to ensure you see them even if your browser window is covered or minimized.


Responding to incoming chats

Incoming chats from your website will show up in your Inbox, and will be marked as having originated from webchat. When someone begins a chat, they're required to give their name and cell phone number so that you'll already have their contact information saved in your Get Reviews dashboard.

You can respond to chats by typing into the text box at the bottom of the conversation thread. If the website visitor leaves your site, you can still respond from the Inbox and your message will be sent to their cell phone as a text message.


Using Chatbot

When your staff isn't available to respond to incoming chats, our AI-driven chatbot "Robin" can intelligently respond to their queries. If Robin doesn't know the answer, she'll let them know that you'll respond at your earliest convenience.

All of Robin's chats will be synced to your Get Reviews Inbox so you can see the full conversation and pick up right where she left off.

Where does the Chatbot get its answers?

The Chatbot Robin is an AI, which will refer to the business profile information and the FAQs to answer questions. Even if the question asked by the visitor doesn't exactly match the wording of the questions mentioned in the FAQs, the Chatbot will answer based on similar/related FAQs or profile information.
