Hi everyone!

I’m currently using Tawk.to live chat on my website and I want to improve how it engages visitors. I have a few questions and would love advice from experienced users:

  1. What are some best practices for prompting visitors to use live chat without being intrusive?
  2. How can I customize the chat widget to match the website’s design and branding?
  3. Are there integration tips with other tools (like CRM, email marketing, or analytics) that really help improve response efficiency?
  4. Any tips on tracking performance of chat interactions to see if visitors are actually engaging?

I’d really appreciate any tips, case studies, or examples you’ve tried on your websites. Thanks in advance!
