Allow departments to be sorted, reordered
Currently if the department selector is included in the pre-chat form, the departments are sorted by the order in which they were created.
It would be much better if we could control the order. Alphabetical wouldn't work as that's not always the case so it would make sense to just be able to drag the items of the departments page into the order we wanted.
82 votesTo All Our Valued Users,
Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for sharing your challenge here.
At the moment, we don’t have the option to re-order the sequence of the Departments listed in the Pre-Chat Form.
We have taken note of your suggestion and will post updates once the feature has been approved and implemented.
If you have any other questions, require assistance, or just want to talk to someone at tawk.to, here is a link to my calendar: https://calendly.com/siennarubio/30min. I’d be happy to help!

Make Departments as Global setting for all properties
Hello
Creating departments are very common and flexible option for visitors to directly communicate with right departments.
There are no any option in your chat software for that to create the departments globally for all configured websites.And this is very hactick work for vendors to manage departments as per website wise becuase vendor has lots of work already and they are not the proper time for manageing the lots of website and their departments.
So i request you to add this feaute in your chat software as global setting.

make feedback link more visible/available
I stumbled across this feedback area, and later when I wanted to come here, I couldn't find a link to feedback anywhere obvious (to me). Maybe this could be included in the footer of the home page or somewhere in the dashboard (or both)

auto-focus on selecting tab
When an agent clicks on the tab down the left side of the window, the chat tab opens, but the particular chat window is not highlighted. It would be good for it to receive focus or otherwise be indicative which window the agent clicked. More handy when having multiple chats open and a user adds a new message to an existing conversation, upon entering the chat tab, it's not immediately obvious where it came from.
Similarly when "join"ing a conversation, the message window should receive focus

Possibility for no filelds to be filled in the tawk.to box
Hello. I´m using tawk.to in my web site. I´d like not to allow the visitor to write anything in messages in the tawk.to box. When we are offline or absent I´d like only to let a text in the chat box saying to the client to click on the "CONTATO" button in the site menu. It woul be a box with only a text, and no fields to be filled - I already have it in my page.Is it possible ? Thanks

Ask customer for email / name while chatting. Pre-chat form in chat
It would be nice to have a input box drop into the chat window, as the chatting is going, asking for the users name / mail, and it would fill out the name and email in the dashboard. it could be an option under pre-chat form called "while-in-chat form" or something like that :)

,This is Sienna from tawk.to. Thank you for reaching out.
At this stage, we only have the Pre-Chat Form to get the details of the visitor before the chat.
An alternative method is to create a Trigger message asking for their information.
You can also create Shortcuts or canned responses for repetitive questions visitors ask. Setting up Shortcuts saves you time and keeps your responses accurate and consistent. This also ensures that your spelling and grammar are correct.
We’ve acknowledged your request and have forwarded it to the dev team. They will work with this suggestion and will add the feature in due course.

Allow Custom Fields Via API
You guys have just released the Javascript API. It would be a huge help to allow us to use custom fields via api also as we have a field called "support pin" which we would like to autofill.

Option to only allow agents to join as their self.
Say Joe is an admin/developer. Everyone knows Joe is the developer.
We hire "Bob" to answer live chats.
At any time the user "Bob" can join a conversation as "Joe" and could possibly do malicious things, then "Bob" can delete that history.
TL;DR:
1. Option to only allow agents to join as their alias.
2. Option to only allow admins to remove history.323 votesTo All Our Valued Users,
Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for sharing your ideas here.
These are the answers to your questions/suggestions:
1. Option to only allow agents to join as their alias.
Answer: At the moment, all agents/admins can create their own aliases. They now have the option to answer chats using their real name or an alias.
You can protect your identity by creating a new alias the customer sees when you respond to chats.Helpful link: https://help.tawk.to/article/creating-and-managing-aliases
2. Option to only allow admins to remove history.
Answer: Agents don’t have the authority to delete chat history.
Let me know if you have any other questions, require assistance, or just want to talk to someone at tawk.to. Here is a link to my calendar: https://calendly.com/siennarubio/30min. I’d be happy to help!

Api for agent-managing.
Api(rest?) for agent-managing. We will be happy to use tawk, if our admin will be able to create and modify agents without visiting tawk website. We want to connect our authentification system with your chat.

Make minimize only option for chat until real chat begins
I have an automatic hello trigger set up, and then visitor who aren't interested have to hit the x button and then "end chat". They could also hit the minimize button but most wont. Until an actual conversation starts can there be no end button but only a minimize? That way it will only take them one click to make the chat window small again.

implement a backend/server-side API into tawk.
I use tawk with my hosting company, which uses WHMCS and I am a backend developer myself.
I would like to be able to implement tawk into my administrator panel to make things easier for my staff, keep everywhere in one place and create a realtime integration with tawk which I could do with the administrator plan, to create tickets on chat starts, etc.
If you implement a server-side api it would be useful for many companies.3 votesHi Lewis,
Thank you for your feedback!
We have a current API, see here: https://www.tawk.to/javascript-api/.
What exactly you would like to see added to the current API? -
