Download transcripts using the web SDK

If your administrator has configured it, an end-user can download a chat transcript during a chat or after a chat has ended. The option to download a chat transcript is available only after the agent and the end-user have both sent at least one message.

Download transcripts during a chat session

To download a chat transcript during an active session, the end-user clicks More, and then clicks Download transcript.

When an end-user downloads a chat transcript during an active session, the transcript includes the messages that were exchanged up until the time that it was downloaded. To get a transcript of the entire session, the end-user must wait until the session is completed to download the transcript.

Download transcripts after a session is completed

If CSAT is enabled, the CSAT rating screen appears at the end of a chat, followed by the Thank you dialog. The end-user can download the chat transcript from the Thank you dialog. If CSAT is not enabled, the end-user can download a chat transcript from the chat pane.

End-user experience during a chat session

When a chat is assigned and at least one message has been exchanged by both the agent and the end-user, the end-user can request to download the chat transcript.

To download the transcript, the end-user clicks the ellipsis button, and then chooses Download transcript and their preferred location within their device.

Once a location is chosen, the end-user is redirected back to the chat screen, and the transcript will be downloaded to the end-user's chosen download location immediately.

The option to download the transcript is shown.

End-user experience after a chat session has been completed

When a chat is ended, either by the end-user or agent, the CSAT rating screen will appear if it is enabled. Once the end-user has completed CSAT, they are redirected to the chat home screen where the option to download the chat transcript is available. If CSAT is not enabled the end-user can download the transcript from the chat screen.

The options for after a chat has ended are shown.
