Quick Start

Sign up for Raffle, set up your first chat assistant, install it on your website and follow how it’s used. Also: logging in and resetting your password.

This guide takes you from a new account to a working chat assistant on your website. The setup takes a few minutes.

Go to app.raffle.ai/signup. The first 30 days are free.

  1. Enter your work email. Addresses from free email providers aren’t accepted.
  2. Create a password of at least 12 characters.

Set up your first chat assistant

After signing up, Raffle walks you through a short setup.

Add your website

  1. Enter your First Name and Last Name.
  2. Under Which website should we use as information source?, enter the address of your website, for example your-website.com. Raffle checks that it can read the website.
  3. Click Continue, check the address and click Confirm. You can’t change this website later, so make sure it’s correct.

Raffle starts reading your website straight away. It uses the content as the source for your answers, and creates two widgets for you: Chat, a launcher with the chat assistant, and Search, an overlay search.

Match your brand

Pick your Brand Color and Text accent color, and upload your company logo. Use Custom Logo Height to resize it. The widget in the background shows your changes.

Set up the chat assistant

  • Welcome Message is the first message your visitors see in the chat.
  • Multilingual Chat lets the assistant answer in the language of the question. For example, if your website is in English and a visitor asks in Italian, the answer is in Italian.
  • Tone of voice sets the style of the answers: Formal or Informal.
