    2. Enter the reminder messages that you want to send in the Customer reminder message and CSR reminder message fields.
    3. To define the period of time that the application should wait before automatically wrapping up the inactive chat and sending a message to the customer an CSR, enter the number of seconds in the Send wrap up message after (seconds) field.
