The following CSS will allow you to modify SmarterTrack’s live chat link on your company’s website to look like the current live chat button on the SmarterTools website. Please be aware that this code references “stlivechat21”. This number will need to be changed to the generated ID of your live chat link.

 

For information on determining what CSS to modify, please see the KB article Use "Inspect Element" to Determine CSS Modifications.

Hey Debby,

I'm not sure I understand the placement you're looking for. You say you'd like the chat icon to sit against the left or right of the screen. Are you referring to where it's at currently in this portal -- the orange/grey icon in the bottom right? SmarterTrack 12.x introduced the new live chat widget we're currently using which embeds live chat directly into your site. To begin using this, you would simply need to change your live chat link to use the "Embedded" live chat type.
