Continue a conversation by email

Keep the same thread moving after a visitor leaves the website.

Updated May 2026 · About 2 min read

When Chatting has the visitor's email address, a team reply can reach them after they leave the site. The email links back to a hosted version of the same conversation rather than creating a separate thread.

What the visitor experiences

  1. The visitor receives a conversation email with the latest context.
  2. They open the secure conversation link and reply in the hosted thread.
  3. Their message returns to the original conversation in Inbox.

Offline email capture is controlled from Settings → Automation. Notification delivery, reply-to address, templates, and signature live under Settings → Email.

Do not copy a visitor's hosted conversation URL into public notes or shared channels. The link is intended for that conversation participant.
