The panel in the CINNOX Workspace where staff members can send/receive instant messages and share files such as images, videos, documents, voice messages, or SMS texts to their customers or colleagues.

When you open your CINNOX Workspace for the first time, the chat room panel is not yet visible.
As soon as you handle a call or chat enquiry or start chatting with your fellow staff members, the Utility Panel will create rooms as your Recent Connections, and the chat room panels for each conversation will appear.

The enquiry room provides details to help you know more about the visitor or customer you are engaging with.

  • Enquiry Information: Enquiry ID, Channel, Channel Detail, Language, Location and Time

UTM Information

  • The Urchin Tracking Module (UTM) Information in the chat room refers to the customisable parameters you can add to a web link. The values of these parameters help you track the source and provide extra information from the enquiries initiated by visitors or customers.
UTM InformationUTM ParameterDescription
UTM Campaignutm_campaignRecognise the associated campaign.
UTM Contentutm_contentIndicate the exact element the visitor clicked in your campaign.
UTM Mediumutm_mediumIndicate the channel utilised by the visitor for enquiring.
UTM Sourceutm_sourceShow the source of the visitor.
UTM Termutm_termIdentify the targeted paid keywords within your campaign.
UTM {parameter}utm_{parameter}This custom UTM allows the agent to define the specific UTM parameter within the weblink. For example, if adding a member ID is necessary, the agent can define "utm_memberid" as a UTM parameter.

By using UTM parameters, you can track the performance of your campaigns and content and optimise them for better results.

📘

Please note that UTM Information supports enquiries from Weblinks of Direct Chat and Call Enquiry provided by staff agents. However, it does not support Weblinks from Social channels.

👍

  • You can manually add the UTM parameters to the weblink to collect the UTM information. Or, alternatively, you can use a builder, like Campaign URL Builder, to facilitate the addition of the UTM parameters.
  • You can access the UTM Information for more details about your campaign, such as the source, medium, and specific content that drives the enquiry, aiding you in fine-tuning your campaign strategy for better results.

In the chat room, the CINNOXbot system message will provide information also such as:

  • The visitor enquiry channel - via Tag, Weblink, Virtual Number, Social or Third Party Channel.

And the following information when the Visitor Form is enabled.
