The HelpShelf team has just added various new features to their support tool widget including custom Facebook Messenger language codes, JavaScript triggers, and new translations.

New Features

• Widget Loading Time Optimizations

  As it says on the tin, you can now finally trigger HelpShelf via JavaScript.
• Danish & Slovenian Translations
  They’ve just released support for Slovenian and Danish within the support tool widget.

  HelpShelf is now supporting Freshdesk and Crisp.
• New Chat Integration
  HelpShelf now supports tawk.to.

With the latest updates, you can now disable HelpShelf on specific pages. Simply add the page URL, head over to Page Settings and enable the checkbox called Hide HelpShelf widget?. In addition you can even set a delay to the loading of the HelpShelf widget on a specific page and set custom content descriptions.

PS: You can now add more than just one contact option to your HelpShelf widget. That’s perfect if you want to offer email, as well as chat support to your site visitors. Since October 2020, HelpShelf also comes with full support for single page apps (SPA).

You can now also restrict your various contact options to days and times. For example, you can make your chat provider available on weekdays during office hours and after that you can only be reached by e-mail.
