# Live Chat FAQ

<details>

<summary>Can I send live chat email follow-up?</summary>

Missive Live Chat can be set to send an automatic email follow-up so you can be sure your customers always get their answers. When configured, anytime an answer is unread after a set amount of time, a summary of the conversation will be sent to the visitor's email address.

**To enable email follow-up in the live chat, follow the steps:**

1. Go to **Settings** > **Accounts**, then select the live chat account.
2. Select the **Setup** tab
3. Open the Configure menu
4. Configure the Email follow-up section

<summary>Can the live chat be in multiple languages?</summary>

Yes, this is possible using Javascript. Everything you can customize in your live chat settings (in Missive) you can also customize via JavaScript when initiating your widget. See the [setup guide](/docs/core-features/connected-accounts/other-channels/live-chat/setup.md) for configuration options.

The text strings to translate are under the **messages** property:

<summary>How can I fix if the live chat is not loading and throws an error?</summary>

<summary>Where can I find my Twilio account SID and Auth Token?</summary>

Both SID and Auth Token should be available in your [Twilio console page](https://www.twilio.com/console).

<summary>What does "anyone is online" mean for the online schedule?</summary>

The **Online schedule** setting (in **Settings** > **Accounts** > your Live Chat account > **Setup**) controls when the chat widget appears as online on your website. It has three options:

* **When anyone is online on Missive** - the widget shows as online whenever at least one relevant person has an active Missive session (desktop app, browser, or mobile app).
* **When anyone is online on Missive within the following schedule** - both conditions must be true: someone must be online *and* the current time must fall within the defined schedule.
* **Within the following schedule** - only the schedule is checked, regardless of whether anyone is online.

"Anyone" refers to whoever the live chat account is shared with:

* Shared with a **team** - any active member of that team counts.
* Shared with the **whole organization** - any member of the organization counts.
* Shared with **specific users** - any of those specific users must be online.

{% hint style="info" %}
Users with [Out of Office](/docs/core-features/status-and-out-of-office.md) status enabled do not count as being online, even if they have an active Missive session.
{% endhint %}

<summary>Why does the live chat need a Twilio account?</summary>

There are two advantages to this approach:

1. Users pay per usage fee directly to Twilio (low price for average volume).
2. It lets us offer it on all plans with no surcharge.

{% hint style="info" %}
For both you and your users, Twilio won't be visible; it is just the backend.
{% endhint %}
