You can close in record time when you have a direct line of communication with your client while they view your document. Proposify has a feature that makes it painless for your prospect to reach you. Here’s a quick guide on how to integrate your proposals with Drift, Olark, and Intercom.
Adding Your Chat Account
Whether you have chosen Olark or Drift as your chat widget, you will need to start by locating your account’s Site ID. Find out how to do that for your chosen chat app below:

Once done, click Turn On and your integration is enabled!

Looking to include the chat widget on proposals you've already created? You can enable the chat widget from your preview page as well. From the client preview page, click “show Preview Settings” found at the top right:

Looking to disable the chat widget? Follow the same steps and ensure that the “show chat widget” option is un-checked.
Troubleshooting Drift Widget Not Appearing
The Drift widget may not appear right away, depending on how you created your account. If you've signed up for a Drift account using email and password, you'll need to activate it on the Drift side as well.
