Doing a basic install of ChatSpring can take under a minute.

Google Analytics or Crazy Egg onto your site.
Even advanced installations just require a basic knowledge of
javascript. Using our simple API, you can easily integrate
ChatSpring with your shopping cart, helpdesk, or CMS system.
When you sign up for an account, you'll get access to our
learning center, which includes examples.

operators with extra data about visitor behavior.

pageviews, favorite sections and events for up to 5 days after

saved for much longer. And your chats are never deleted.
- How do I customize graphics? Does it require any special skills?

Your "chat invitation" graphics can be completely customized to
fit in with the style of your site. The customization is done with
plain html. There's no fancy templating system. Just good old-fashioned
HTML.
