If you're managing multiple brands in Kayako, it's important that the proper logos appear in your customer chat windows. Since each brand and support site is managed by a different template group, you can personalize the logo for each of your support sites modifying that brand's templates.
To accomplish this, you'll need to do a couple of things:
- Make sure the logo files you want to use are uploaded somewhere easy to link to. It will need to be a public URL, for Kayako to be able to use it.
- Figure out which brands you want to modify, so you know which template groups to start with.
- Follow the instructions to below to update your chat templates.
Branding your live chat logos
To customize your live chat logo to match your brand:
- Login to the admin control panel.
- Click Templates on the sidebar and then Groups on the sidebar.
- Open the template group which you want to edit, then click on Templates.
- Here you'll see a list of template categories. Click on Live Support to expand the list.
- Finally, find the 'chatheader' template and click to open it.
- Now you want to find the spot in the code that specifies which logo to you. You can type ctrl+F to search the page and type in:
<{$_headerImageSC}>
- That should take you down to the top of the body section:
- Select the the entire '<{$_headerImageSC}>' tag and delete it.
- Copy the full URL for your logo image and paste it between the quotation marks after 'src=', where the header image code used to be.
NOTE: Remember that the icon image, sized no larger 150px by 40px, needs to be hosted at a publicly available URL. - When you've made your changes, that line of code should look something like this:
<div id="topbanner"><div class="topbannerchat"> <img src="https://support.yourcompany.com/brandedlogo.png" alt="Kayako <{$_productTitle}> Logo" id="logo" />
- After making the change, click the Save button.
- Repeat the steps above for the template groups of any additional brands you support.
- Finally, go ahead and refresh one of your branded support sites, open up a chat, and you should see your updated logo.
