Info

CloudFon CX CloudCX allows you to block unwanted visitors from accessing your chat service. Your chat buttons are invisible to banned visitors, and in the meanwhilemeantime, the banned visitors will not be displayed in the visitor list of the Agent Console. CloudFon CX CloudCX supports banning visitors by Visitor Contact ID and by IP address.

Visitor ID is planted in the visitor’s browser cookie. If a visitor gets banned by Visitor ID, they cannot see the chat button on your website using the same browser. However, if this visitor switches to another browser, uses another machine, or clears the cookies in the browser they previously used to visit your website, they can see your chat button and initiate chat requests.

Add Banned IPs

If you ban an IP, all visitors using the same IP address cannot see your chat button.

...

The system also provides the option for you to ban visitors through IP Range. However, you should be cautious about using this option as it may keep your live chat away from many other potential valuable clients.

Info

Agents can ban visitors both from the Agent Console and from the Control Panel.  

  • From the Agent Console, agents can ban a visitor in the visitor list or a visitor in chat.

  • From the Control Panel, agents can add visitor IDs or IPs to the banned list.
