What is conversation rating?

Conversation rating lets your website visitors give feedback on the conversation using thumbs up and thumbs down buttons below the chatbot's latest text response. This feedback helps you find answers that need improvement.

How to enable conversation rating

  1. From the main dashboard, select your chatbot.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Chat Conversation.
  3. In the Conversation behavior section, toggle Conversation rating on.

Settings save automatically. Wait for Saved, then open Overview, send a question and check the buttons below the answer. Use Positive rating message and Negative rating message on the settings page to customize the confirmation text (up to 255 characters each).

Tooltip text

Rating buttons use default tooltip texts:

  • Positive rating: "I like the response"
  • Negative rating: "I don't like the response"

These tooltips are no longer editable in the admin interface. If you previously set custom tooltips for your bot, they are still saved and continue to display in the widget.

The reset conversation tooltip is configured separately under Settings > Appearance > Chat Header > Reset conversation tooltip.
