Allow users to set a preference to disable the GoCanvas Chat pop-up in the website

Answered

I know GoCanvas is just trying to help, but it might be less intrusive to show a chat button off to the side or in one of the corners that is easy to find, yet doesn't play a sound and jump to the foreground.  It can be distracting and a bit frustrating while trying to work in the site.

  • Hi Nathan,

    Are you able to minimize the chat window? You should be able to do that with the minus button if you haven't started chatting, or options - end chat and then the minimize button if you've chatted in before. That should force the chat interface to stay closed and look like this: 

    The more drastic option is to chat in and ask us to ban you, but that means you can't ever chat in again. 

    This is, again, a limitation of the platform. But it should be avoidable, so let me know if minimizing it doesn't work for you.

  • Hi Sara.

    Yes, I can minimize it which seems to work for that session.

    If I leave and come back later and / or have to delete cache / cookies while testing or working on other things it doesn't seem to remember my preference.

  • I finally got it to do that to me - seems like it's unique to the App Builder (or at least, the App Builder always forces it open for me).

    We made a change to our backend settings that I think will help. Can you keep an eye out and see if the issue pops up again? It may require a cache/cookie clear to get the setting to trickle down, but it worked for me just now. 

    I'm going to move this to Welcome/General since it's more of a general troubleshooting issue. 

    Also Jayashri says hi (she's been helping on the backend piece here).

  • After clearing cache and cookies I have navigated around the normal web UI, the app builder, and the help / community site without it doing that to me.  Maybe we're good to go.

    Hi back Jayashri!

    Thanks for the help.
