Customizing your widget
Theme, audio & voice, proactive nudges, guardrails, lead capture, and placement rules across 5 Studio tabs.
Table of Contents
Draft mode and instant publishing
The Widget Studio in your dashboard organizes customization across 5 dedicated tabs: Theme & Audio, Content & Nudges, Behavior & Guardrails, Lead Capture, and Security & Placement. Everything you edit is saved as a live draft with interactive preview—visitors keep seeing the current live version until you click “Publish changes.”
1. Theme, Audio & Voice
Select Light, Dark, or System mode, pick your brand accent color, and configure the launcher appearance (circular icon button or expanded pill with custom prompt text).
Enable browser-native voice transcription so visitors can speak their questions, and toggle Text-to-Speech playback and subtle audio chimes for incoming messages.
2. Content, Starter Questions & Proactive Nudges
Set custom welcome headlines and introductory greetings. Add up to 6 one-click starter questions to guide visitors to high-value topics.
Configure Proactive Nudges: trigger an eye-catching popup bubble after a specific delay (e.g. 5 seconds), upon scrolling 50% of the page, or only on high-intent URL paths like `/pricing` or `/checkout`.
3. Behavior, Guardrails & Instant FAQ Overrides
Select your assistant persona tone (Friendly, Professional, Concise, Technical, Empathetic). Define custom role instructions and strict negative guardrails (e.g. “Never discuss competitor pricing”).
Add Hand-written FAQ overrides that bypass search and guarantee exact word-for-word responses for mission-critical inquiries.
4. Lead Capture Builder
Turn conversations into qualified leads by collecting visitor Name, Email, Phone, and Company. Choose trigger timing: mandatory before chatting, prompt after first answer, or ask on detected commercial intent.
Captured leads sync to your dashboard and trigger `lead.captured` webhooks into your CRM automatically.
5. Security, Placement & Branding
Restrict widget execution to specific allowed domains and subdomains. Define URL path rules to whitelist or blacklist the widget on specific sections of your site (e.g. show on `/help/*` but hide on `/admin/*`).
Pro and Enterprise accounts can toggle the “Powered by SiteMind” footer badge off for a 100% white-labeled experience.
