Chatbot

Tip: Keep messages short (under 60 characters each) and set one clear destination. Use analytics to compare “with chatbot” vs “without chatbot” click-through rates.

What it looks like

Section titled “What it looks like”
Chatbot floating in the bottom-right corner of a public link page

The chatbot appears in the bottom-right corner of your public link page. It shows your profile avatar as a floating button, and types out your messages one by one in white rounded chat bubbles above it — like a real chat conversation, but automated.

When visitors tap the avatar or any message, they are sent to the chatbot link (if you configured one), and a CHATBOT_CLICK analytics event is recorded.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”
  1. The page loads → after a brief delay, the first message starts typing out character by character (≈100 ms per character)
  2. When the first message finishes, the second message starts typing
  3. After all messages are displayed, the sequence is complete
  4. Tapping the avatar or any message fires the chatbot analytics event and navigates to your chatbot link

The animation uses Framer Motion — it’s smooth and does not block page rendering.

Configuration

Section titled “Configuration”

Chatbot is available on Creator and Agency plans.

FieldRequiredLimitNotes
Message 1✓ (to enable)No hard limitAim for ≤ 60 chars for readable bubbles
Message 2—No hard limitDisplayed after message 1 finishes typing
Message 3—No hard limitDisplayed after message 2 finishes typing
Chatbot link—Valid URLWhere the visitor goes when they tap

Maximum 3 messages. You can use 1, 2, or 3 — you cannot add a 4th.

To configure:

  1. Open your link page → Edit
  2. Scroll to Chatbot configuration
  3. Click Add message and type your text
  4. Optionally fill in the Redirect link field
  5. Save

Character length tip: Each character takes ~100 ms to type. A 20-character message finishes in ~2 seconds. A 60-character message takes ~6 seconds. Keep messages short so visitors don’t wait — or leave — before the sequence completes.

Writing good chatbot messages

Section titled “Writing good chatbot messages”

Do:

  • Lead with a hook in message 1 (greeting or curiosity trigger)
  • Add context in message 2
  • End with a clear call to action in message 3
  • Use emojis to draw attention — they render fine

Don’t:

  • Repeat your page title — the chatbot is separate from your main content
  • Use messages longer than one short sentence each
  • Send visitors to a confusing or unrelated destination

Example sequence:

Message 1: "Hey, welcome! 👋"
Message 2: "I drop free tips every Tuesday 📅"
Message 3: "Grab the free guide below 👇"

Measuring performance

Section titled “Measuring performance”

When analytics is enabled on your plan, you can track:

  • CHATBOT_CLICK events — how many visitors tapped the chatbot
  • Compare this to total page views to calculate chatbot CTR

To A/B test: toggle the chatbot off for a week, then on for a week, and compare click-through rates in Analytics.

Mobile behavior

Section titled “Mobile behavior”

The chatbot is positioned absolutely at the bottom-right and stays above your links list. On small screens (< 375 px wide), the bubble text wraps gracefully. The avatar is 64×64 px (4rem).
