Never Miss a Message: Offline Chat Awareness

August 11, 20251 min read

Staying connected is everything—especially during live conversations. With Offline Chat Awareness, we’ve made your chat widget smarter and more reliable when the internet drops.

Instead of leaving visitors in the dark, the widget now clearly signals what’s happening and ensures no messages are lost in the shuffle.

🚀 What’s New

The chat widget now intelligently manages network drops with real-time UI feedback:

  • “Reconnecting to chat…” banner now appears when internet drops

  • Message input is disabled during downtime to prevent lost messages

  • Auto-fetches missed messages from users/agents after reconnection

🔍 How It Works

When a visitor’s internet drops:

  • The chat shows a reconnecting status and disables message sending

  • Upon reconnect, the chat restores input access and fetches any missed responses from sub-accounts (users, AI agents)

This ensures conversations feel continuous—even when connections aren’t. Fewer missed opportunities, better clarity for your leads.
