Here are 5 essential steps to follow before you start live conversations with your Shopify site visitors:
Follow These 5 Steps to Start Conversations

This functionality lets you craft tailored marketing messages and set up support bots that deliver targeted, individualized interactions, enhancing the customer experience.
Ensure the 'Customer accounts' settings are enabled to allow login links.
