How to create invitations
Invitation is a term referring to a set of features that interact to allow you to prompt visitors to engage with your organization. An invitation always includes an actual interface seen by visitors, called the Custom Chat Invitation. This actual invitation can be sent manually by an operator or automatically according to settings or rules.
