The widget on every page. The brain underneath.
Most chat widgets are a separate channel — a different inbox, a different customer record, a different conversation that dies when the visitor closes the tab. Orbit Chat shares memory with Voice + Recall + Stars. And when the visitor leaves before resolving, Chat hands the thread off to Recall via SMS — so the conversation continues on the customer's terms.
The visitor closes the tab. The conversation doesn't.
Watch the same conversation move from web chat to SMS without missing a beat — because the customer record is the same record, not a separate ticket.
→ Visitor closes the tab without replying.

→ Same customer record. Same conversation context. Different channel.
What Chat shares with the rest of Orbit.
Most chat widgets are isolated by design — a separate vendor, a separate inbox, a separate customer record. Chat is wired to the same brain everything else uses.
Shared memory reads
- Customer profile via phone match if provided, IP/cookie heuristic otherwise. Returning visitor sees: "Welcome back — last time we talked about the roof inspection."
- Last interaction across Voice/Recall/Stars/Confirm. Chat doesn't ask for info the brain already has.
- Vertical-specific context — SiteLine pulls service catalog + pricing, AgentEdge pulls active listings, etc.
Shared memory writes
- Every message appends to
customer_profiles.interactionswith channel=chat. - Lead capture (phone, email, intent) updates the same row Voice + Recall use — no merge later.
- Emits
Chat.SessionEndedwith the parsed intent for the orchestrator to chain.
Handoff rules
- Visitor closes tab with unresolved intent →
Chat.SendFollowupaction → SMS within 8s. - Visitor explicitly asks to text → immediate SMS handoff, web session pauses (resumes if visitor returns).
- Owner is online (in dashboard) → soft transfer with full conversation context, no "let me start over."
- 1–3★ sentiment detected mid-chat → owner gets a Slack ping with the transcript, not just an end-of-session digest.
