Legacy Chat will be retired on February 14, 2026. To avoid service interruptions to your end users, switch to enhanced Chat (formerly Messaging for In-App and Web). Enhanced Chat offers many of the legacy Chat features that you love plus asynchronous conversations that can be picked back up at any time. Learn about migrating in Help and Trailhead.
To customize the chat window that your customers see, first create a Salesforce site to host your custom images.
A deployment consists of a few lines of JavaScript that you add to a web page. Your organization can have a single Chat deployment or multiple deployments. For example, if you have a single service center that supports multiple websites, creating a separate deployment for each site enables you to present multiple chat windows to your visitors.

Salesforce generates the deployment code.
- Copy the deployment code, and then paste it on each web page where you want to deploy Chat. For best performance, paste the code immediately before the closing body tag (that is, </body>).
