Adding a new website channel
In Breadstack, "Channels" represent linked websites - for example, if you operate two online stores, each would have its own channel. You can further segment each channel into Departments.
There are two phases to adding a new channel: (1) Linking your website to Breadstack, and (2) Setting up the live chat widget on your website.
Step 1: Link a website as a new channel
- Go to Settings > Service and toggle to the Channels tab. Click Add Channel in the upper right corner.
- Paste your Website URL and give your channel a Name that your team will recognize.
- Click Next. You'll see a popup confirming that your channel list has been updated.
- Close the popup but leave the Add Channel window open for the next step.
Step 2: Set up the Chatso widget
The steps for adding the Chatso widget to your site will differ slightly depending on your website hosting platform. Find your host here and follow the link to see their instructions on adding third-party widgets.

Once you've set up the chat widget, you'll see Connected appear in green under the Widget Connection column in your channel list view.
