Copying a Web Chat
The quickest way to set up a new web chat is usually to copy an existing web chat and edit it as required. This saves you from having to configure every setting from scratch.

. The Save as dialog box appears.
- In the Web Chat name box, type a name for your new web chat.
- Click SAVE.
A new web chat is created with the same details as the source web chat. Your web chat is given a unique ID, which is used in the embed code.
