After selecting your desired date filter, click Done to apply it.
Viewing Source Advertisement
When a customer clicks an advertisement to chat (Click-to-Chat Ad), the contact conversation window includes:
- Contact Event: A notification that the chat has been opened by the customer along with information about the platform the customer used, e.g., Facebook. Clicking a link takes you to the advertisement to help you gain perspective.
- Ad Summary Card: Following the contact event notification, a contact card is also displayed. You can expand the card and either open the link to the advertisement or view a description of the advertisement (to avoid opening the link to view the advertisement).
