Mandatory & customisable message field in Chat Widgets
Sep 23, 2025
👀 What’s New?
- All chat widgets (WhatsApp, Email/SMS, All in One, Voice AI) now include a mandatory pre-filled message field.
- By default, this field comes with a message (e.g., “I want to know more”) which one can fully customise.
- This ensures that only the visitor’s intended message is passed through, not their personal details.
đź‘· How It Works:
- When creating a new chat widget, you’ll see the message field automatically added.

- The field is mandatory but editable, you can change the default text in the builder.
- Visitors can also edit the message before sending it.
- For existing widgets, behaviour remains the same unless you manually add the message field, once added, it becomes mandatory.
🌟 Why It Matters:
- The idea behind this change is to respect visitor privacy and control over their data.
- In CRM Conversations, you’ll still see contact details (name, phone, etc.) from the form fields.
- But only the message the visitor sends will appear in the conversation thread.
- This avoids unwanted sharing of personal details in the chat window and keeps the experience clean, consistent, and secure.
📝 Notes:
- Pre-filled message is 100% customisable in the builder flow.
- Visitors can also update it while interacting with the widget.
- This applies to WhatsApp, Email/SMS, All in One, and Voice AI chat types.
