Getting started

Getting started with Frosvo: your first five minutes

Go from a new account to a live chat on your website: add the site, paste one snippet, teach the assistant, invite your team and choose a plan.

Last updated

Frosvo gives your team one inbox for website chat, email and messaging apps, with an AI assistant that answers from your own knowledge and hands over to a person when it should.

The first five minutes

  1. Add your website — Settings → Websites → add its name and address.
  2. Put the chat on it — paste the one-line snippet before </body>. See Put the chat on your website.
  3. Teach the assistant — add help articles or your site's pages under AI Agent. See The AI assistant.
  4. Invite your team — Settings → Team.
  5. Choose a plan — Free works for as long as you like; Plus can be tried free for 7 days. See Plans and billing.

The Get started item in the desk's menu walks you through these steps and ticks each one off when it's really done — for example, the install step is only ticked once the chat has actually opened on your site.

Finding your way around the desk

  • Inbox — every conversation, with filters for yours, unassigned and all.
  • AI Agent — the assistant's knowledge and settings.
  • Automation — workflows, routing, chat triggers and response-time targets.
  • Channels — email, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, SMS, Viber, LINE, Discord, X, eBay and Google Play reviews.
  • Visitors and Contacts — who's on your site now, and everyone you've spoken to.
  • Campaigns and Reports.
  • Settings — websites, team, plan, privacy, security and more.

The desk also installs as an app on your computer or phone: use your browser's "Install" or "Add to Home Screen".

What to do after the first five minutes

  1. Open your website in another browser and send yourself a message, so you see both sides.
  2. Set your hours and an away message for each website. See widget settings.
  3. Connect the places your customers already write: email, WhatsApp, Telegram and the other channels.
  4. Move your history across if you are leaving another tool: move from another helpdesk.
  5. Learn where each setting lives in the settings overview.

If something does not work

The most common problems are a missing snippet, a website address that is not listed, or a cached page. Walk through troubleshooting. You can also contact support from inside the desk.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?

About five minutes for the chat itself: add the website, paste the snippet and open your site. Teaching the assistant takes as long as you spend writing articles.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The Free plan works for as long as you like. A card is needed only if you start the free trial of a paid plan.

How do I know the chat is really installed?

The Get started screen ticks the install step only after the chat has opened on your site, so a tick means it works.
