Give a bot some personalilty by assigning a custom avatar and name to it. Only show the avatar and name of a human operator once he/she is taking over.
Great suggestion! +1 for this too
Definitely +1 - it also allows different human operators to jump in to live chat without it feeling like one human has abandonded the visitor.
Currently the handoff between bot to human is a bit confusing and can be seen as misleading by the guest.
We have created a new agent role that you can add to your team called Bot agent
this lets you create a separate profile that can appear as a chatbot and keep your profile for live chat.
