External Links

This features enables you to put links in your answers to direct the viewer to a different page, to call on the phone or send an SMS

Redirect URL

Click [HERE](https://google.com) to go to Google

would appear to the viewer as

and "HERE" would be hyperlinked. Of course, you can use any word you want to be hyperlinked.
NOTE: The link will be opened in the same window thus directing the viewer away from the page he is currently viewing.

External Bot Triggering

This feature allows for a bot to be triggered by a click on another element on the page. All you do is add the class "ccc_trigger" to any element and when it's clicked the bot will slide up. If you combine this with the "Hide Bot" feature it could be very effective

You could have, for example, a button that says: "Click this to open our support bot."

Also, you can have it on as many elements on the page as you like. If the element already has a class you can still add this one. It can be added to any element including divs, images, buttons, links etc etc...

Example:
<button type="button" class="ccc_trigger">Press Me</button>

Or a hyperlink example with multiple classes :
<a href="#' class="bootstrap-link-class ccc_trigger">Click here for support</a>
