Available Channels

Kordless agents can be deployed to two channels:
  • Web Chat: Best for website visitors and landing pages
  • Voice: Ideal for missed calls and after-hours phone coverage
SMS/text deployments are not currently available. Web Chat and Voice are the only active deployment channels.

Accessing Deployments

Go to Agents in the main navigation, then switch to the Deployed Agents tab. You’ll see two channel tabs:
  • Web Chat - Manage web chat deployments
  • Voice - Manage voice/phone deployments

What a Deployment Is

A deployment connects an agent from your library to a specific channel. You can:
  • Deploy the same agent to multiple channels
  • Create multiple deployments per channel (e.g., different website pages)
  • Keep deployments in Draft while testing
  • Switch to Live when ready for customers

Draft vs Live

  • Draft: Configured and ready for testing, not visible to customers
  • Live: Active and available to customers

Naming and Managing Deployments

Give each deployment a clear name so your team knows where it is used. Examples:
  • “Website Chat - Homepage”
  • “Website Chat - Pricing Page”
  • “Voice - Main Line”
  • “Voice - After Hours”

Multiple Deployments for Campaigns

Create separate deployments for different campaigns or locations. This keeps tracking clean and helps you test what works.

Web Chat

  • Widget: Embed on your website so visitors can chat instantly
  • Hosted link: Share a direct chat link in ads or social profiles

Setup Steps

  1. Create a web deployment in Agents.
  2. Choose Hosted Link or Widget.
  3. Copy the link or JavaScript snippet.
  4. Test on desktop and mobile.

Voice

Phone Numbers and Call Routing

Voice deployments use a phone number that answers inbound calls and routes leads.

Setup Steps

  1. Claim a voice number.
  2. Create a voice deployment.
  3. Set routing and notifications.
  4. Make a test call.
