Visitors
The Visitors page provides a central hub to view and manage all visitors who have interacted with your chat widget. Track conversations, update statuses, and analyze visitor information.
Accessing Visitors
- Log in to your Chatim dashboard
- Select your project from the sidebar
- Click Visitors in the navigation menu
Status Tabs
Filter visitors by their current status using the tabs at the top:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| New | Fresh conversations, not yet qualified |
| Leads | Potential customers showing interest |
| Customers | Converted or existing customers |
| Closed | Resolved or completed conversations |
| Archived | Old or inactive conversations |
Each tab shows a count of visitors in that status.
Search and Filters
Click Show Filters to access advanced filtering:
- Search Term — Search by visitor name, email, or phone (partial matches supported)
- Date Range — Filter by start and end date (default: last 30 days)
- Engaged Only — Show only visitors who selected an option, submitted a form, or sent a message (filters out visitors who only opened the widget)

Visitor Statuses
| Status | When to Use |
|---|---|
| New | Default for new interactions, not yet qualified |
| Lead | Showing buying interest, completed contact form |

Statuses can be changed manually from the detail panel or full detail page, or set automatically using the Notification Node in your chatbot flow.
Best Practices
- Check the Visitors page daily and follow up with new leads promptly
- Update statuses to keep records accurate
- Use the "Engaged only" toggle to focus on meaningful interactions
- Design forms to collect useful information without asking too much at once
- Use custom parameters via the SDK for additional visitor context (custom parameters)
Workflow Integration
Sales Pipeline
New visitors start as "New" → Qualified leads are marked "Lead" → Converted visitors become "Customer" → Lost opportunities are "Closed".
Support Pipeline
Support requests start as "New" → Active cases remain in current status → Resolved issues marked "Closed" → Irrelevant requests "Archived".
Troubleshooting
No Visitors Appearing
- Verify the chat widget is installed correctly
- Check the selected date range
- Disable the "Engaged only" toggle to see all visitors
- Ensure visitors have actually opened the widget (not just loaded the page)
Search Not Finding Results
- Check spelling of search term
- Try partial matches
- Expand the date range
- Clear all filters and try again
