Running multiple chatbots
One account can hold several chatbots, which suits a group of brands, a franchise, or an agency managing client websites. Each chatbot is separate.
What is separate per chatbot
- Its own chatbot key and its own install snippet
- Its own product feeds, products, categories, and brands
- Its own site info, AI configuration, and written answers
- Its own conversations, analytics, and failed logs
- Its own list of invited users
A teammate invited to one chatbot sees only that chatbot.
Adding a chatbot
- Add a new website from your account dashboard.
- Fill in the site name and the domain the widget will run on.
- Describe what the site sells and set the expertise the bot should have.
- Enable the languages that site serves.
- Connect its product feed, one per language.
- Copy its install snippet. It contains a different chatbot key than your other sites.
Each chatbot needs its own domain, and the widget only answers on the domain configured for that chatbot.
Teams across chatbots
- People are invited per chatbot, not per account.
- Someone who works on several sites needs an invitation for each one.
- Roles are set per invitation, so the same person can be a manager on one site and a viewer on another.
Billing across chatbots
- One billing owner pays for all the chatbots they own.
- Plan limits apply to that owner’s total, not to each site separately. This is true for the number of websites, users, products, and monthly messages.
- If one busy site uses up the monthly message limit, the other widgets stop answering too. Size the plan for the total, not for the largest site.
- Billing ownership can be transferred, for example when an agency hands a site back to a client.
Working as an agency
- Build one chatbot as your reference: tone, written answers, and handoff wording.
- Reuse that wording on new chatbots instead of starting from a blank page.
- Keep clients as invited users on their own chatbot so they can read conversations.
- Transfer billing ownership at handover, so the client’s plan covers their own usage.
