🧾 Summary of the release
You can now share files inside Live Chat. Drop in an image or a PDF, write a message and hit send, no more asking customers to email screenshots. It’s simple, quick and works great on desktop and mobile.
✨What’s New
1. Where it works: Live Chat type (the web chat on your site). There are no changes to the builder configurations.
- What you can send: Images with extensions –
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .heicand PDF docs with.pdfextension. - How many: Up to 5 files per message and each file size < 20MB.
- How it looks:
- JPG/PNG show a small picture preview right in the chat.
- HEIC/PDF show the file name with a download option.
- Desktop & mobile: Drag files in from your file explorer on desktop or pick from Camera/Gallery on mobile.
- Built‑in checks: Clear messages if a file is too big, not supported or you try to add the same file twice in one message.
🛠️How to Use
- Visitors/end users can click the paperclip in the chat (or drag files from your file explorer).
- Pick up to five supported files.
- Type a short message (required), then Send.
- In your Conversations inbox, click images to preview or download; HEIC/PDF will download.
Tip: If nothing happens when you drag a file, make sure you’re dragging from your computer’s file explorer and not from another app/window.
