Chat Widget Links

Connect support or onboarding chat surfaces back to Compass so answers stay linked to real documentation.

1 min readUpdated

Chat widgets work best when they help people reach trusted docs quickly instead of trying to replace them.

  • setup guides for first-run questions
  • troubleshooting articles for repeated support issues
  • feature explainers for advanced workflows

Simple implementation checklist

  • Match the widget language to your product voice
  • Deep-link to the most relevant Compass article
  • Keep prompts narrow so replies stay useful
const widgetConfig = {
  placement: 'bottom-right',
  showLauncher: true,
  welcomeMessage: 'Need a hand getting started?',
};

Why this helps

When chat replies point back to maintained docs, your support layer stays lighter and your product knowledge stays easier to update in one place.
