Set up form chat for embedded live chat on your website
In addition to the live chat appearing at the bottom left corner of your website, Chative.IO offers the option to integrate the live chat directly into your website content using our Form Chat mode.
In the Form Chat mode, you can configure most settings similar to the live chat mode, with a few exceptions:
- The position option (left / right) in the Appearance section.
- Only the Blink browser tab is available in the Notification section.
Additionally, you can customize certain appearance elements such as background, height, and width.

Step 1: Navigate to the Channel
section from your navigation bar and create a new Website live chat channel.
