What is IntelliChat?

IntelliChat is an intelligent pop-up system that use an automated chat system to interact with your surfers and convince them to stay. There are a number of different layouts, designs, and approaches these pop-up can take, so you can pick and choose the chat pop-up that suits your site and clientele best. For more details, please visit http://www.intellichat.com


Setting up IntelliChat

Promotions Admin

This admin was added to NATS v3 as of version 3.1.57.1. This admin link can be found just above the programs admin: NATS3 Promotions Admin.jpg

Here you should see IntelliChat listed as a promotion: NATS3 Promotions IntelliChat Disabled.jpg

First, click on the Credit 16x16.gif to set up an account with IntelliChat. You will be taken to IntelliChat's signup page. Fill out all of their required information.

When you are finished signing up with IntelliChat, come back to your Promotions Admin and click on the pencil (Pen 16.gif) and enter the username you set up with IntelliChat. Click on Save and you should see IntelliChat show as activated.

Your next step is to click on the setup icon Addtext 16.gif. This will automatically set up the following:

  • A separate disabled and hidden program for IntelliChat-based transactions
  • A separate NATS tour for IntelliChat in each of your NATS sites
  • A separate affiliate to track IntelliChat sales (don't worry, your affiliates will still get credit for referring the surfer).
  • A new pop-up chain type so you can use the NATS pop-up code

Programs Admin

The programs admin is used to dictate how much of a percentage IntelliChat will receive for generating sales using their pop-up tool(s). This is done through a coupon system. IntelliChat will issue you a coupon code that controls the amount they receive, and you then enter it into NATS so your reporting will reflect how much IntelliChat received on your transactions.

Your first step is to obtain your coupon code from IntelliChat.

Once you have the coupon code, you then need to enter it into NATS. In your programs admin, under Disabled Programs, you should see a program named **IntelliChat [No Payout Set]**.

Click on the pencil Pen 16.gif to edit the program details. From there you'll be able to do a number of things, such as change the name of the program, change the options for this program, add a site to the program, or enter in the coupon code that this program will pay out under.

Change the program name here if you wish....

This is where you tell NATS which coupon code you will be using for IntelliChat. Copy/Paste the coupon code into the text box and click Verify and NATS will automatically generate what the payout should be for that coupon code.
(Note that this payout here represents how much IntelliChat is going to get per sale, not your normal affiliates. The payout for your affiliates is controlled by the normal program(s) they are using)...
