NOTE With LiveChat, you can deploy bots to screen conversations in your knowledge base chat box, helping to resolve common queries automatically and reduce the load on your support team. --- ## Best practices - **Deploy bots to handle common knowledge base questions.** Set up LiveChat bots to answer frequently asked questions automatically, so your support team only needs to handle more complex conversations. - **Use the multi-chat capability to improve response times.** LiveChat lets a single agent handle multiple conversations simultaneously, reducing wait times for readers who need help. - **Use Code inclusion/exclusion conditions to control where the widget appears.** If the LiveChat widget should only appear on certain workspaces or for specific languages, configure conditions to limit where the integration runs. - **Monitor chat transcripts to identify content gaps.** Common questions coming through LiveChat that don't have a good article to reference are signals that new content is needed in your knowledge base. - **Test the chat widget after integration.** Open your knowledge base site in a new browser tab and confirm the LiveChat widget loads and responds correctly before announcing it to your users. --- ## FAQ **What is the LiveChat ID?** The LiveChat ID is a unique identifier obtained from the LiveChat application.
