Build / How to

Appearance

Appearance controls how the website widget looks before and during a conversation. It does not change what the agent knows, which channels are connected, or who may use it.

What Appearance changes

Open the agent, then Appearance. These settings apply to the website widget.

SettingWhat it changes
LauncherHow the agent appears before a visitor opens the conversation.
ColorThe palette used by the launcher and conversation window.
LogoThe mark shown on the launcher and in the widget.
Launcher labelThe visible label, or the screen reader label when the launcher is icon-only.
Starter promptsSuggested first messages shown before a text conversation starts.

Starter prompts appear only for text-capable agents. A voice-only agent has no message box before the call begins, so there is nowhere to show them.

Preview the widget

The preview on Appearance runs the same widget visitors see, in a frame inside Studio. Edits update the preview as you make them, so check both the closed launcher and the open conversation window before saving.

Use Preview for the conversation itself. Appearance is for presentation: whether the widget fits your site, whether the label is clear, and whether the first choices a visitor sees are useful.

Save changes

Launcher, color, label and starter prompts stay as a draft until you select Save changes. Discard returns them to the last saved version.

A logo upload starts when you choose the file, because Studio needs the stored image to show the real widget preview. Replace the logo from the same field if you chose the wrong file.
