Chat History

Review every website chat widget conversation your AI has handled — full message logs, session details, and customer information from the Nexwin AI Chatbot widget.

What is Chat History?

The Chat History page (Nexwin AI Chatbot) displays all conversations that visitors to your website have had with your embedded Nexwin chat widget. Each conversation is stored as a session with a full message transcript.

Full transcripts
Every message from the visitor and the AI agent is stored in order, with timestamps.
Session timestamps
See when each chat session started and ended, and how long it lasted.
Visitor info
If the visitor provided their name or contact details during the chat, those are captured here.

Reading the chat session list

The main Chat History view lists all chat sessions in reverse-chronological order (newest first).

ColumnDescription
Date/TimeWhen the visitor opened the chat (shown in your local timezone; recent chats show as "Today at …").
SummaryA short AI-generated summary of what the conversation was about.
SentimentThe visitor's overall sentiment as detected by the AI (e.g. Positive, Neutral, Negative).

Finding the chats you need

The session list is paged on the server, so it loads quickly even with a large history. Search, date filter, and export all work across your entire chat history — not just the page on screen.

ToolWhat it does
SearchType in the search box ("Search summary, message or chat ID…") to find chats by chat summary or chat ID. Results update as you type and cover every matching chat, not just the current page.
Date filterPick a Start date and End date, then click Apply to limit the list to that range. The button becomes Clear while a filter is active. The date range also scopes search and export.
PaginationThe bar at the bottom shows "Showing X–Y of Z" and lets you move between pages. Use the items-per-page selector (10, 25, or 50) to change how many chats appear per page.
ExportClick Export (top-right) to download an Excel file of all chats matching the current search and date filter — every matching record across all pages.

Viewing a conversation

Click any session row to open the full transcript. The detail view shows each message in a chat-style layout, alternating between the visitor's messages and the AI's responses.

  • Message bubbles — AI messages on the left, visitor messages on the right.
  • Timestamps — each message shows the exact time it was sent.
  • Visitor details — name, email, or phone if provided by the visitor.
  • Session metadata — the page on your website where the widget was opened (if captured).

About the Nexwin AI Chatbot embeddable widget

The Nexwin AI Chatbot widget is a small chat bubble that you embed on your business website. Visitors can click it to start a conversation with your AI receptionist without leaving your site.

Setting up the widget Configure the Nexwin AI Chatbot widget's appearance (colour, title, position, welcome message) in AI Setup → Nexwin AI Chatbot Widget Settings. The embed code snippet is available in your AI Setup configuration.
SettingDescription
Widget colourThe accent colour of the chat bubble and header — defaults to your brand teal.
Widget titleThe heading shown in the chat window (e.g. "Chat with us").
PositionBottom-right or bottom-left of the screen.
Welcome messageThe static greeting shown when a visitor first opens the chat. The visitor replies straight to it with their question, and the AI answers that directly rather than greeting again.
