In Connected Channels, you’ll find all available integrations. This guide walks you through the settings for the Web Widget, Website Integration, Email, and Voice AI. Each section highlights what can be customized, best practices, and tips for setup.
Web Widget Settings
You can access Web Widget Settings by clicking the tile with the robot icon in the upper left-hand corner.
From here you can play with the following:
AI Features & Language Settings
Website Widget Appearance
Pre & Post Chat Form
Live Chat
AI Features & Language Settings
From here, you can choose whether to implement Live Agents Only, Gen AI Only, or Dynamic Conversation Flow.
In most cases, clients will use Gen AI only, so this section usually requires minimal adjustments.
Website Widget Appearance
From this tab, you can customize the colors of the Web Widget. We recommend setting up the basic colors in advance to match the client’s website branding.
Tip: To do this accurately, install a color picker extension in Google Chrome.
Go to the client’s site.
Click Extensions → Pick Color.
Use the dropper to select the desired color.
Copy the code and paste it into the Web Widget appearance settings.
If the client requests specific brand colors, they can share the codes via email, which can easily be updated in this section.
Pre & Post Chat Form
These forms are optional and depend on client preference. They allow properties to collect guest details and feedback.
Pre-chat form: Collects information such as first name, last name, and email before the chatbot begins.
Post-chat form: Captures guest feedback after a conversation.
Inactivity prompt: Triggers a message if the guest is idle for a set period of time.
To enable or disable these forms, simply toggle the switch. By default, we keep these forms disabled unless a client specifically requests them.
Forms can also be customized for the languages you have enabled. Under each form, you’ll see the available language options. This ensures seamless interactions in the languages most commonly used at a given property. Please note that only enabled languages will appear in the forms.
Pros:
Collects valuable guest information.
Provides contact details for follow-up if an interaction goes poorly.
Supports marketing and engagement efforts (emails can be used for campaigns or loyalty programs).
Cons:
Pop-ups may discourage guests from using the chatbot.
Risk of lower completion rates if too much info is requested upfront.
May create friction for guests seeking quick answers.
Live Chat
Some clients may choose Gen AI only, while others prefer to also include live agents.
Configure when live agents should engage with guests vs. when the digital assistant should respond.
Set property hours of operation.
Specify the live agent provider being used.
Website Integration Settings
You can access Website Settings by clicking the tile with the website icon in the upper left-hand corner. This section allows you to configure how the chatbot appears and functions on the website.
Tabs include:
Appearance
Booking Calendar
Nudges
Position
Chatbot
Publish Your Digital Assistant
Appearance
Starting with Website Widget Appearance, you can select the preferred layout within Widget Theme.
Here, you can play around with each of the layouts and see which best fits the needs of the specific client.
Within appearance you can also set the image for the avatar, rather than having the default icon.
To change the image, just select the blue Browse button.
The next tab is Widget Components, where you can set the assistant’s name, welcome message, colors, and other display elements.
Booking Calendar
Within the Booking Calendar tab, you can customize how the calendar will appear to guests.
Nudges
Although the chatbot remains in a fixed position on the website page, you can enable nudges to draw guests’ attention and encourage them to engage with it.
From here, you can edit the text, adjust the message duration, and create customized messages for each enabled language.
Position
Here, you can adjust the position of the chatbot avatar. By default, it appears in the lower-right corner of the page.
Chatbot
From the Chatbot tab, you can customize how the avatar is displayed to guests.
For example, if the property uses both live agents and the chatbot, you may want to adjust the subtitle to reflect that setup.
Publish Your Digital Assistant
Once the chatbot is fully configured and the client is ready to publish it on their site, this tab will provide the script that needs to be added.
It’s best practice to send the script to the client via email along with detailed setup instructions.
Email Settings
You can access Email Settings by clicking the tile with the Mail icon in the upper left-hand corner. Here, you can configure settings within the following tabs:
Unified Inbox
Ticket Thread
Email Forwarding
Autonomous Replies

Microsoft Outlook Add-on
Topic Detection
The AI can scan incoming emails and categorize them by topics that you define in this tab. Customizing topics for a specific property helps clients manage and navigate their inbox more effectively.
Microsoft Outlook Add-on
When clients are ready to set up their email plug-in, start by adding their email addresses within this tab.
Next, download the manifest file and send it to them via email so they can complete the setup on their end.
Below are links to Myma articles with instructions for setting up the email plug-in.
Voice AI Settings

For example, if a guest uses certain keywords such as “reservation,” “late checkout,” or “cancellation,” the system can be configured to trigger an automated response, route the conversation to a live agent, or provide a direct link to the appropriate resource. This allows the chatbot to deliver faster, more relevant assistance while ensuring that important requests are handled appropriately.
Features
Revised & Expanded Version:
In this section, you can configure the voice settings for the property. This includes:
Selecting a voice actor to represent the property, ensuring the tone and style align with the brand’s identity.

Specifying the type of voice processing the client has chosen, which determines how calls are handled, optimized, and delivered to ensure a smooth guest experience.
These settings give each property flexibility in how their Voice AI is personalized and managed, while also supporting transparency, accuracy, and service quality.
