Chat Page

A hosted chat page at app.asks.app/c/your-slug — share a link and customers can talk to you with nothing to install.

The Chat Page is your chat as a standalone, hosted page at https://app.asks.app/c/your-slug. There is nothing to embed and no website required — put the link in a bio, behind a QR code, or in an email signature, and anyone who opens it can start a conversation with your AI agent and your team.

The hosted Chat Page as a visitor sees it.

The Chat Page is a surface of the widget channel, so the widget's master toggle must be Live for the hosted page to load — while it's off, the link shows "Chat page not found." You don't need the widget installed on any site, though: keep the toggle on, leave the snippet unpasted, and run the Chat Page alone.

Turn it on

Open the Deploy tab

Go to Channels → Website Widget → Deploy and pick the Chat Page surface. Your hosted page URL is shown with Copy link and Open buttons.

Set who can access it

Under Who can access, choose the page's access scope:

  • Anyone — the page is public; anyone with the link can chat.
  • Invited — reserved for invite links; for now this keeps the page private.
  • Nobody — the page is off. This is the default.

Set it to Anyone to go live. Until then, visitors who open the link see "This chat isn't available."

Share the link

Copy the URL and put it wherever customers find you — link-in-bio, QR codes on packaging or receipts, email signatures, social profiles.

Verify it works — open the link in a private browser window and send a message. It arrives in your Inbox as a widget conversation, and the reply streams back onto the page.

What visitors see

The Chat Page shares the widget's content and style configuration — the opening message, conversation starters, theme and colors, text size, logo, and branding you set under Widget customization all apply. So do the Behavior settings for file uploads and the typing indicator, and the Localization languages: the page chrome renders in the visitor's browser language when it matches one you've enabled.

The header shows your workspace name with "Online · replies instantly" when the AI agent is enabled for the widget, or "We'll reply as soon as we can" when it isn't.

The left rail lists the visitor's conversations and offers New conversation, so one customer can keep separate threads. When conversation ratings are enabled for your workspace on the Ratings analytics page, the page invites the visitor to rate the conversation at the end.

Conversation history

Visitors don't sign in. The page keeps an anonymous visitor identity in the browser's local storage, so a returning visitor on the same browser and device picks up their conversation where they left off. Clearing site data or opening the link in a private window starts a fresh visitor with no history.

Troubleshooting

Access isn't set to Anyone. Change Who can access on the Deploy tab — the change applies immediately.

Either the widget's master toggle is off — the hosted page requires the widget channel to be Live — or the URL is wrong. Check the toggle on the Website Widget page, then copy the link again from the Deploy tab.

A customer says their history is gone

History lives in the visitor's browser. A different device, a different browser, private mode, or cleared site data all start a new anonymous visitor.
