How do I start using NTRsupport?
 
First, you need to sign up for your free NTRsupport trial account. An administrator account and operator account are automatically created for you. You can log in to the administrator account to change language settings, configure general and security settings, and create additional administrator and operator accounts. When you log in to your operator account, you can start providing support to your customers using all the features of NTRsupport, including chat, remote control, and remote diagnostics.

When you have created your NTRsupport account, you need to log in as an administrator and copy the HTML integration code to a webpage on your website. The code displays a graphical button on your website that customers can click to connect to your operators.

Finally, you need to log in to NTRsupport as an operator. When a customer clicks the button on your website, a chat conversation is automatically started with the operator. You can now communicate with your customers, control their computers remotely, and send and receive files.

How do customers start a chat conversation with NTRsupport operators?
 
Customers can typically start a chat conversation by clicking a graphical button on your website that opens a small chat window.

If an operator has assigned a session code to a customer, the customer can use the code to start a chat conversation with the operator. The operator can configure the code so that it is valid for a specific date and time.

A survey is a series of questions that you can ask a customer to complete before a chat conversation is started. This is useful if you want to gather information, such as the customer’s contact details, before the chat conversation begins. You can also add a survey at the end of a conversation if you want to get feedback from the customer, for example, about the level of service provided by operators.

Alternatively, you can use one or both of the URL reference arguments  (ref and ref2) to insert textual information at the beginning of the chat conversation in the operator’s window.
