Give visitors a question they can answer in one line. Pick the page they are on and whether someone is available to reply.

## Inputs

- Business name
- Where the greeting appears
- Team availability
- Greeting language

## How it works

A live chat greeting works best when the visitor can tell what to do next. This generator combines your business name, one question about the current page and one sentence about availability. Use the product greeting on item pages and the plan question on pricing pages.

## Worked example

Choose Harbor Goods, Product page, Online and English. The greeting asks “What would you like to know about this product?” Switch the page to Checkout and the question changes to “Do you have a question before you place your order?”

## Frequently asked questions

### What should a live chat welcome message say?

Greet the visitor, ask one question connected to the page and tell them whether a teammate is available. A shopper comparing plans can answer “Which plan are you considering?” immediately.

### How do I write a greeting for after business hours?

Choose Away. The greeting invites visitors to leave a message for your team. Add a specific reopening time only if your schedule supports it.

### Can I use different greetings for different languages?

Generate a separate English, French or Spanish version with the language selector. Paste each into the corresponding greeting in your chat settings.
