For detailed documentation on chatbot configuration and embedding options, see Chatbot Documentation. The Interface tab lets you control how your Agent looks and feels to end users — from branding and welcome messages to security and deployment channels.

Configuration

Use Latest Version (enabled by default) ensures your deployed chatbot always runs the most recently saved version of your Agent.
The builder preview always reflects your latest changes — including unsaved edits — so you can test instantly. However, the deployed chatbot your end users see only updates when you click Save. In Projects, saving is all you need — no separate deploy step required.

General

Brand your chatbot and shape the first impression users get when they open it.
  • Display Title and Display Image — set the name and logo users see at the top of the chatbot.
  • Welcome display description — write a greeting that appears when the chatbot loads (e.g., “Hi, how can I assist you today?”).
  • Placeholder for message input field — guide users on what to type (e.g., “Ask anything or tag with ’@’”).

  • Enable initial prompts — show clickable prompt suggestions so users can get started with one click.

  • Generate related questions — automatically suggest follow-up questions after each response to keep the conversation going. You can control how many suggestions appear and add guidelines for what types of questions to suggest.
Generate related questions settings
  • Processing message and icon — customize what users see while the Agent is thinking (e.g., “Understanding your request…”).
  • User and bot message names — label who’s speaking in the chat (defaults: “User” and “Assistant”).
  • Powered by VectorShift — toggle the branding badge on or off.

Style

Match the chatbot’s look to your brand.
  • Avatar Image — give your Agent a recognizable face next to its messages.
  • Accent color — apply your brand color across buttons, highlights, and UI elements.
  • Messages font — choose a typeface that fits your brand’s tone (e.g., Inter).

Security

Control who can access your deployed chatbot and what unauthorized users see.

Protect with SSO Auth

Require Single Sign-On authentication so only authorized users in your organization can access the chatbot. When enabled, you can:
  • Enable Auto Redirect — automatically send users to your SSO login instead of showing the access denied page.
  • Share with — invite specific users by email and assign them a role (e.g., Editor) to control who can access the chatbot.

Customize Access Denied Page

Tailor the message unauthorized users see when they don’t have access:
  • Permission Text — the main message displayed (e.g., “You do not have permission to access this chatbot.”).
  • Contact Text — instructions for requesting access (e.g., “Please contact the owner to request access”).
  • Icon Color — match the access denied page icon to your brand.

Protect with Password

Gate access behind a password so only users with the credentials can interact with the chatbot.
  • Password — set the password users must enter to access the chatbot.

Customize Login Page

Brand the authentication screen users see before entering the chatbot:
  • Change Header — set the page title (e.g., “Authenticate to Chatbot”).
  • Change Password Text — customize the label for the password field.
  • Change Button Text — customize the submit button text.
  • Icon Color — match the login page icon to your brand.
