Secure Messaging is a front-end and server-based approach to enable end-to-end secure communication with your clients and protect sensitive data. Your client can immediately start confidential and authenticated exchanges from any part of the world.    

Once installed, it does not need any future code updates. The Secure Messenger is responsive to desktop and mobile devices, with all the messages and attachments are not stored or cached on the compliant server.  

Once your Secure Messenger is created, you can use the following operations in the Control Panel to manage it—Edit, Install Code, Copy, Rename, and Delete. You can also Enable or Disable any Secure Messenger and use a certain condition while configuring the Routing Rules, Triggers, and SLAs.

Step by Step Instructions 

To manage Secure Messenger, in the Control Panel, follow these steps: 

1. Log in to your Comm100 Control Panel. 
2. From the left navigation menu, go to Ticketing & Messaging > Channels > Secure Messaging.
   
   The Secure Messaging page contains the list of existing Secure Messenger. 
3. Click the New Secure Messenger tab to add a new Secure Messenger.
   
   The New Secure Messenger drawer appears. 
4. On the New Secure Messenger drawer, enter the Name, Description, and click Next.
   The General tab appears. 
5. Customize the user interface of your Secure Messenger and click Save.

Once you successfully add a Secure Messenger, you can also use Channel, Last Message Channel, and Contact Identity conditions in Routing Rules, Triggers, and SLAs of your Secure Messenger. You can also enable Credit Card Masking in Global Settings Security to mask credit card numbers in Secure Messaging tickets for agents. 

• Routing Rules: To use Channel, Last Message Channel, and Contact Identity conditions in Routing Rules, navigate to Ticketing & Messaging > Settings > Routing Rules and select any of these conditions to create a New Rule.
  
  For example, if you select Last Message Channel in Condition’s field, Secure Messaging appears as an option in the field values.

On the Agent Console side, you can create Views and answer the Secure Messaging tickets your visitors create.  

Once you complete configuring Secure Messenger and installing the code on your website, agents can start answering Secure Messaging tickets from the Agent Console.
You can also create separate Views to manage your Secure Messaging channel tickets. You can use fields like Channel, Channel Account, Last Message Channel, Last Message Channel Account, and so forth to Add Conditions and create Views.

You can now identify whether a visitor has read a Secure Message or not.

And visitors can view the new message notification on their side of the chat window.
