Note Beginning in June 2025, Messaging for In-App and Web is changing its name to Enhanced Chat. During this transition, you can possibly see references to both names in our documentation. We wish we could magically update the name everywhere at once, and we thank you for your patience as we evolve.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Messaging Settings, and then select **Messaging Settings**.
2. To select the deployment you want to work with, click the arrow next to the deployment name, and then select **Edit**.
3. On the Messaging Settings page, in the Chat Button Visibility section, select **Show chat button only when a service rep is available**. The button appears only when at least one rep is online and the waiting queue is below the configured limit.
    1. If the routing type is **Omni-queue**, rep and agent availability is checked in the primary queue.
    2. If the routing type is **Omni-flow** or **Agentforce Service Agent**, availability is checked in the fallback queue.
4. For Queue Limit Type, choose how to apply limits.
    1. Set **Queue Limit** to define the maximum number of chat requests that can be waiting in the queue across all online service reps in the applicable queue. When the overall waiting queue reaches this number, the chat button is hidden until capacity is available.
    2. Set **Queue Limit Per Rep** to define the maximum number of chat requests that can be queued for each service rep. When a rep’s waiting queue reaches this number, no additional chats are routed to them, and the chat button is hidden if all reps are at their limits.
5. Save your changes.
6. In Embedded Service Deployment Settings, click **Publish** to apply the changes.
