Turn on alerts, the daily summary and a webhook

Nothing pings you inside the dashboard, so these are how you find out a visitor wrote to you.

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Notifications

    Switch on Email notifications and check the address — it defaults to your account email.

  2. 2

    Tick New conversation alerts

    One email per conversation, sent on the visitor’s first real message, carrying the message, the page where known, and a link to reply. An abandoned widget sends nothing.

  3. 3

    Tick Daily summary

    Yesterday’s conversations, visitors, leads and the questions asked most, sent once a day in your site’s timezone.

  4. 4

    Add a webhook, on Business or Enterprise

    Paste the URL, tick the events — conversation started, message created, lead captured, conversation closed — and press Send test. Copy the signing secret to verify the X-Genie-Signature header; rotate it whenever you like.

  5. Message created fires for every message, including the assistant’s. On a busy site, leave it unticked unless you need it.

Sign in and do it.

About 3 minutes in the dashboard, and the free plan is enough.
