AlcmeonChat - Customize your widget
Table of Contents
AlcmeonChat, Alcmeon's white-label chat solution, offers customization options to align with your brand identity: the button that launches the chat, the call-to-action message bubbles, the chat widget itself, and even the notification emails your customers receive when an agent responds to their request.
Access the Customization Interface
To customize the appearance and text of your Alcmeonchat widget, go to the “Settings / Accounts” section, navigate to your specific AlcmeonChat account page witin Alcmeon and click on the “ Chat Demo ” link.

In the window that opens, click the “Customize” button. This will open the customization window, which is organized into 4 tabs that we will detail below:
Closed chat
This section allows you to customize the appearance of the AlcmeonChat widget when it is closed.

- You can change the color of this bubble, when this feature is active.
Help messages
Help messages are the automatic message bubbles that appear when you close AlcmeonChat. You can fully customize their content and determine whether they should be displayed in one of two cases: if no conversation has been started, or if a conversation is already in progress.
New Conversation Assistant: These message bubbles automatically appear after 5 seconds and disappear after 10 seconds when no conversation is currently in progress.
Ongoing Conversation Assistant: When a conversation is already underway, these message bubbles appear continuously until the customer manually closes them.
In both cases, you can display up to two messages.

This section allows you to customize the content and appearance of the top portion of your open chat widget.

- The text prompting the customer to enter a phone number as part of the SMS notification process in your bot scenario.
- The text prompting the customer to enter an email address as part of the email notification process in your bot scenario.
Generate the code

This final tab allows you to configure the language for AlcmeonChat. While many text elements are customizable, some are translated by default.
In this tab, you can:
- Set the default language for AlcmeonChat.
- Generate the JavaScript code you need to insert onto the pages of your website where you want the AlcmeonChat to appear.
If the JavaScript code has already been installed on your site, the visual changes will be automatically updated.
However, for text changes, you will need to regenerate the JavaScript code and re-install it for those changes to take effect.
💡Note: If your website has multiple language versions, the generated file will need to be duplicated and you must modify the values of the following fields to match the desired language:
- langCode (possible values: it, fr, en, sp, de)
- title (AlcmeonChat title in header)
- subtitle (AlcmeonChat subtitle in header)
- privacy_link_label (link text)
- privacy_link_prefix (text before link)
- helperMessage1 (first message bubble in case of an unstarted conversation)
- helperMessage2 (second message bubble in case of an unstarted conversation)
- helperMessage3 (first message bubble in case of an already started conversation)
- helperMessage4 (second message bubble in case of an already started conversation)
- send_your_email (Invitation to enter an email address)
- send_your_phone (Prompt to enter a phone number)
- send_a_message (Prompt for a message)
- select_an_option (Prompts to select an option from a menu)
