Want to showcase your chatbot but getting stuck on tedious web hosting? This article deeply analyzes DmFlow’s Web Chat Sharing feature, teaching you how to let customers experience a complete, secure, and branded conversational service via a simple link, without any server setup.
The process of developing a chatbot is often full of challenges. After painstakingly adjusting the conversation logic and designing the perfect script, one often gets stuck at the “demonstration” stage. Imagine, when you want to show the latest bot features to potential clients or internal teams, do you still have to ask an engineer to set up a test webpage first, or ask the other party to download a specific app?
These tedious steps often wear down the user’s patience before the experience even begins.
DmFlow provides a quite smart solution, which is the Web Chat Sharing mechanism. The core concept of this feature is very simple: Make the chatbot experience as easy as sharing a Google Doc. No need to know code, no need to set up a server, just a few simple settings to generate a dedicated link.

Say Goodbye to Tedious Server Settings
In the past, letting external personnel test a bot usually meant a series of technical deployment tasks. But DmFlow’s design directly bypasses these obstacles.
Through its built-in sharing mechanism, users can directly generate an independently operating Web Chat interface. What does this mean? It means marketers, sales representatives, and even project managers can independently complete the preparation for “product demos” without the support of a technical team. Just send the link, and the recipient can start chatting upon clicking. This can save a lot of time costs when conducting A/B testing or quickly proposing to clients.
Simple Three Steps to Create an Exclusive Experience Entrance
To enable this function, the process is actually quite intuitive. In the DmFlow backend, deployment can be completed with just a few actions.
First, find the Web Options in the bot’s settings interface and click the “Share” function. The system will automatically generate a standard URL.
But there is a detail worth noting here, and that is “security”. To prevent the bot from being maliciously hijacked or having its traffic abused by unauthorized websites, the system requires users to set a Domain Whitelist. You need to add https://share.dmflow.chat to the allowed list so that the bot can operate normally on that webpage. This is a small action, but it ensures your service runs only in safe places.
In addition, to make this link look more professional, DmFlow allows users to customize the ID for free. Although the default random code link works, if you can set the link to https://share.dmflow.chat/s/@dmflow, it not only looks more trustworthy but is also easier for customers to remember. This is a detail that cannot be ignored for brand promotion.
Interface Design: Not Just Chatting, But Service Display
When users click the link to enter the page, what will they see?
Judging from the actual operation interface, this is not just a box for inputting text. DmFlow’s Web Chat interface is designed to be quite clean, without superfluous ads or distracting elements, allowing the user’s attention to focus entirely on the “conversation” itself.
Functionally, this interface reveals several key messages:
- Omni-channel Support Hint: At the top of the interface, icons for Instagram, LINE, Telegram, etc., are usually displayed. This subtly conveys a message to the user: this bot not only runs on the web but can also seamlessly connect to these popular messaging apps.
- Comprehensive Offline Mechanism: There are always times when the bot cannot answer or human intervention is needed. From the interface, it can be seen that when no agent is online, the system automatically triggers an “Auto Message” mechanism, guiding users to fill in their Email. This is not just a simple form, but a demonstration of how the bot handles “customer service handover” and “potential client list collection”.
This is very important for enterprises because it shows that the bot has the ability to handle actual business scenarios, rather than just being a talking toy.
Why Is This Crucial for Your Business?
In business competition, speed often determines everything. The greatest value of Web Chat Sharing lies in Rapid Validation.
After development is complete, the team no longer needs to wait for the website department to schedule the launch; a public link can be generated immediately for user testing. For outsourcing companies or SaaS service providers, this is a powerful business tool. You can directly embed the link in emails, put it in social media posts, or even drop the link directly during a video conference, letting clients experience it “now”.
This “What You See Is What You Get” display method can significantly reduce communication costs and eliminate customer doubts about product functions.
Selected Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
To help you use this feature more smoothly, we have compiled a few questions that users are most concerned about:
Q1: Do I need to prepare my own host or web server to use this sharing link function? Not at all. This is the core advantage of Web Chat Sharing. DmFlow will host the entire chat interface; you only need to focus on designing the bot’s conversation logic, and the generated link is ready to use.
Q2: Is this generated link safe? Will it be embedded by others at will?
The system has a strict whitelist mechanism. You must explicitly allow https://share.dmflow.chat to call your bot in the backend settings. In addition, this also means you can revoke permissions in the backend at any time, and the link will immediately become invalid, giving you complete control.
Q3: Is the custom ID a paid feature?
Currently, custom IDs (such as @{YourBotID}) are supported for free customization. It is recommended that you use an ID related to your brand name, which helps improve professionalism and customer trust.
Q4: If my bot mainly operates on LINE, what is the use of this web version? The web version is an excellent “trial version”. Some customers may not be willing to join a corporate LINE official account at the beginning (fearing personal data issues or receiving ads). Through the web version, they can experience the service content under zero pressure first, and after establishing trust, be guided to join LINE or other messaging apps.
Conclusion
The value of a tool lies in whether it can make complex things simple. DmFlow’s Web Chat Sharing feature minimizes the technical threshold, allowing enterprises and developers to return their energy to the most important essence—creating high-quality conversation experiences. Whether for internal testing or external promotion, mastering this tool can make your bot project progress more smoothly.
