Nimble Chat Pro docs
Your assistant starts here.
We install your widget for you. Make it feel like your business, and give every customer a clear next step.
Start the setup guide01 / Integration
How setup works
Start with signup. Pick your plan and sign up with a card — the $499 setup and your first month are charged at signup, and there is no free trial. Setup is done for you: the Nimble team installs Chat Pro on your website, so you never add code or handle a snippet yourself.
- Pick your plan and sign up. Choose a plan on the pricing page and sign up with a card. Signing up starts your paid plan from day 1.
- Tell us about your business. Add your business name and website, the information Nimble should answer from, and your business FAQs. If you want appointment booking, add your services and prices and connect your calendar in your settings.
- We install it for you. The team arranges the access they need — or works with your web person — and installs the widget on your approved website origin, such as
https://www.example.com. A different subdomain, HTTP instead of HTTPS, or a different port is a different origin, so tell the team about any preview or staging site you want covered. - We confirm it is live together. The team opens your published site, runs a test conversation, and confirms Nimble appears and answers. You can review conversations and handoffs any time in your operator dashboard.
You do not need to install anything yourself — we do the installations. If your web person asks what will be added to your site, our team walks them through it during setup. If your website builder restricts custom scripts, our team coordinates with whoever manages your website for that one step.
02 / Configuration
Set the tone in your dashboard
Open Widget settings and save your changes. The widget checks for the latest settings when opened; close and reopen an existing chat to see an update. You do not need to republish your website for these settings.
Workspace owners and administrators can save settings. Team members with the agent role have read-only access.
- Greeting: introduce your business and invite a useful first question.
- Brand color: choose the widget’s primary color.
- Position: place the floating widget at the bottom left or bottom right.
- Staff hours: set your timezone, working days, one opening and closing interval within a day, and an offline message.
- FAQs: save the questions and approved answers Nimble should use as business context.
Staff hours describe when a person is available. They do not turn off the AI assistant outside those hours. Use the offline message to set an accurate expectation for a human response.
FAQs support the model’s replies; they are not a guarantee that every generated answer is correct. Start with location, service area, opening hours, and how to contact your team. Test real customer questions after changing your answers.
Handle requests for a person
Visitors can choose Request a person, enter an email address and optional name, and agree to share their details and conversation for a follow-up. Your team can review the lead and manage the handoff in the dashboard.
A queued request does not mean a live operator is connected. Replies by email, phone, or another channel are handled through your business’s established contact process. In-widget live staff replies, calls, and video sessions are not part of the current service.
03 / Customization
Choose where the conversation lives
Embed inside a page
If you want the chat panel embedded inside a page instead of a floating launcher, tell our team during setup — they place it where you want it, on any kind of website. Dedicated React and Vue SDKs are planned and are not yet published.
API access and webhooks
The current dashboard uses authenticated operator sessions for its internal /api/v1/dashboard routes. These are not a released external API, and your public site key does not authorize access to dashboard conversations or business records.
Customer-issued API keys, public conversation and analytics APIs, outbound lead and booking webhooks, and dedicated SDKs are planned. There is no public API key to copy from the current dashboard. Use the supported widget and operator dashboard for now.
Know what to expect
What is available today?
Current workflow
Conversations and human follow-up
Configured AI chat, website and inline widgets, saved appearance and FAQ settings, consented lead capture, conversation history, an operator handoff queue with live staff replies, verified team invitations, and website administration. Connected Google calendars support availability, explicit booking confirmation, and cancellation.
Your deployment needs its database, operator sign-in, business enrollment, and model connection configured before the complete workflow is available.
Planned integrations
Scheduling and more ways to connect
Appointment rescheduling, Outlook calendar sync, customer file uploads, answers from uploaded documents, calls, video, outbound webhooks, external API keys, and native mobile apps.
A pending backend booking record is an unconfirmed request. Calendar availability and a reservation require a working booking provider. Your owner must connect and select an authorized Google calendar before visitors can use booking.
Troubleshooting
A few common questions
The widget does not connect. What should I check?
Your setup is installed and checked by our team. If the widget is not live, check that you are opening your site on the approved website origin, then contact us — the team can check the widget’s status and deployment setup. Use the connection retry control after the issue is resolved.
I can see the widget, but AI replies are unavailable.
Your deployment needs a configured, available model service. The widget reports when replies are unavailable. Ask our team to check the model connection; changing the widget color will not enable an unconfigured model.
Why do my dashboard changes not appear yet?
Save the settings, then close and reopen the widget. Check that you are editing the correct business and widget in your dashboard. An inline panel has no launcher; reload its page to fetch the saved settings.
Can a customer book an appointment right now?
They can ask a question and request a person to follow up. Your team must arrange and confirm the appointment through its current scheduling process. The present widget does not confirm or reschedule appointments in Google or Outlook.
Can I change which websites use the widget?
Ask your administrator to update the approved origins. Appearance settings do not grant permission to install the widget on an additional domain. Keep test and production origins explicit.
How does billing start?
Plans are live. When you sign up, the $499 setup and the first month of your plan are charged together; a card is required at signup, and there is no free trial. The pricing page explains the tiers and the current offer.
