Beacon

Set up and manage the Beacon chat widget.

Beacon is Renprofile's embeddable chat widget. It connects your website visitors to Rian and your support team in real time.

Connect

Go to Integrations > Channels and click Connect Beacon. This opens the Beacon setup drawer where you'll find your Workspace ID and installation instructions.

Install

See the Beacon Setup guide for full installation instructions across all frameworks.

Manage

Once connected, go to Settings > Channels > Beacon to access four sub-tabs:

Install: choose your technology (Snippet, React, Angular, Vue, Shopify, Webflow, Framer); select user type (Targeted Users or Anonymous Visitors); copy the installation and initialisation snippets. An Install with AI button generates a prompt you can paste into Cursor or Copilot.

Customisation: set the launcher colour (four presets or any custom hex via a colour picker); choose Light or Dark panel theme. Changes are saved per-workspace and apply immediately.

General: coming soon.

Security: coming soon.
