Enable conversation history for your deployments

When conversation history is enabled, your users see a history panel with their past conversations and can open and resume any of them.

Things to know

Team members (logged in)

History is saved to their account. It stays the same across all their devices and browsers and does not disappear unless they delete it.

Guests (not logged in)

History is saved in the browser they are using. If they switch devices or open a different browser, they start fresh. If they clear their browser data, their history is removed.

Guest history uses a rolling 7-day expiry. Each time a guest returns and chats, the 7 days resets from that visit. If they do not return within 7 days, their history expires and they are treated as a new visitor the next time they open the chat.
