As I'm working in EMEA with multiple languages, are there plans to have Dynamic chat in other languages rather than just English?

Also can it detect from the url the page language or have ai translate the text?

 

Possibly use a custom field to identify users preferred language, already set up as segmentation.

Hi @Zoe_Forman 

are there plans to have Dynamic chat in other languages rather than just English?
-- If you are looking to design conversations in non-English then check this blog
-- If you are looking for a Dynamic chat product to support other languages for users then yes, a user can go to profile preference and select language

 

can it detect from the url the page language or have ai translate the text?
-- Not yet 🙂

 

custom field to identify users preferred language, already set up as segmentation.
-- you can do that

Hi, question about implementation. Is it possible to add the chatbot on our site behind a login?

@Chris_Morris1, if you have a dedicated login page, then you could exclude that page’s URL from the chat targeting (i.e., Dialogue’s Audience Criteria). This will not show the DC dialogue on your login page.

@Darshil_Shah1 - thank you, but I'm unsure of your response. We want the chatbot to appear on pages available behind the login, after the user has logged in with their login credentials. Any issues with this?

Ohh okay! DC doesn't have a dedicated field/flag available that you can use in the Dialogue's audience criteria to show/hide the dialogue based on the login status of the person. You can explore hiding the dialogue window using JS based on the login status of the person. However, Marketo's DC doesn't have client-side JS library that you can use to show/hide/perform other actions. You'd need to reference the DC widget using it's DOM selector, and then hide it if the visitor hasn't logged in.

Chatbot can be installed on any page where you can install Dynamic Chat Chatbot JS snippet.

You can try the following two options:
Option 1: If the page URL has anything unique then you can target different dialogue for those users

Option 2: After visitor log-in add a value to any attribute against the person object that you can use in audience criteria to target users
