Managing campaigns for Zoom Virtual Agent


Campaigns are what you use to manage access to your chatbot on your website. For example, you can specify when and on which URLs the chatbot will be available. Campaigns also let you customize the design of the invitation button and the engagement window. You can change the color of the invitation button to match your organization's branding and display a welcome screen for chat engagement with your logo.

Campaigns allow you to control which pages your chatbot is displayed on or hidden from. You can create multiple campaigns so you can use different chatbots depending on which page the user is on. This is a powerful way to deliver a customized customer experience by building a chatbot that’s designed for their personal types.

Note: If your Zoom virtual agent directs consumers to Zoom contact center agents for live support, start the engagement using the Zoom Contact Center campaign.
