Setting up Digital DX AI contact forms

Overview

Part of the Digital DX AI constant online presence is the contact form feature, an integral part of both the floating and the support page widgets, that allows you to gather vital statistics about your online consumers, as part of the question asking process. These contact forms are fully customizable and configurable, so you can structure the input from your customers to reflect the informational elements most useful to you in terms of business intelligence, market share and demographics.

Setting-up the contact forms

  1. In the AI Console, go to Channeling > Contact Forms.
  2. Select the Knowledge Base or URL for your widget. The default setting is Master Settings, which is recommended to choose, as it ensures that your changes will take effect across all your domains and URLs. The generic options provided with the Digital DX AI solution are displayed on the Popular Forms sub-tab. All of these can be edited to reflect the needs of your company when obtaining demographic data and market research information. See Customizing the Contact Form below for information about personalizing and configuring a contact form.
  3. Click the form that you want to display in your widget. You see the preview of the widget on the right.
  4. Click Save Changes. The change is made instantaneously in the widget on your website.
