How to set business hours in the live chat

Business hours feature in the live chat is a necessity.

Remember: if you set up business hours in the live chat and the leads that contact you for the first time within off hours, will have to be reached out later. Make sure you require an email address from them to start a conversation, so this way even if you reply later, your message will be delivered to the leads' email address as well.

• Go to the Project Settings on the left sidebar. Click on "Business hours" under "Messenger".
