Nudge messages

A small floating bubble that appears next to the launcher a few seconds after the page loads. Optional — off by default, turn on for landing pages with engagement goals.

When to use it

Landing pages — visitor lands cold, doesn’t know they can ask a question. A nudge surfaces the affordance.
Pricing / checkout pages — proactive “any questions about the plans?” can convert hesitant visitors.
First-time visitor pages — combined with a session check, you can show the nudge only on the first visit.

When NOT to use it

Internal apps / authenticated dashboards — repeat users don’t need a poke.
Dense info pages — the bubble adds visual noise. Save it for surfaces with breathing room.

Configure

Settings → Nudge messages in the dashboard.

Field	What
Show bubble	Master on/off toggle.
Message	The tooltip text. Keep under 80 characters. Default placeholder: “Hi! Need help finding something?”
Style	Bubble (rounded chat-bubble shape), Card (soft-shadow rectangle), Minimal (single line, no chrome).
Show after	Delay in seconds before the bubble auto-appears. Default 5s.
Dismissable	Show an X to close it. Recommended on.

Dismissal cooldown

Once a visitor dismisses the nudge, the widget stores leflux:nudgeDismissed in localStorage and won’t show the bubble again for 24 hours. This means the same visitor doesn’t see the nudge on every page nav.

The cooldown is per-domain (because localStorage is per-origin). On a session-isolated visit (incognito, new device) the cooldown resets.

Click-through

Clicking anywhere on the nudge — not just the launcher — opens the chat. The nudge is its own CTA. This is intentional: visitors who notice the message want to engage with the prompt, not hunt for the launcher button.

{
  "nudge": {
    "enabled": true,
    "message": "Hi! Need help finding something?",
    "style": "bubble",
    "delay": 5000,
    "dismissable": true
  }
}

delay is in milliseconds (dashboard shows seconds, server stores ms).

Renders on all layouts

The nudge appears in floating, bottom-bar, and side-panel layouts. (Earlier versions only rendered on floating — fixed in widget release 2026-05-25.)
