You can configure proactive notifications in your self-service configuration so that you can send relevant information, offers, or service cases to your customers proactively, based on their customer and account profile. If you enable proactive notifications, Pega Customer Service interacts with Customer Decision Hub (CDH) when a customer visit your website, to predict the customer's needs and offer bot-enabled assistance. In this way, proactive notifications can save the customer's time and make the work of the Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) more efficient.

For example, if a customer whose bill has increased by USD 25 in the current month logs in to your website, one possible reason is that they want to check their bill. If CDH determines that a notification should be sent to the customer, the Web Chatbot window slides open with a relevant message and links to either make a billing inquiry or close the notification. You can also configure the notification window to minimize after a specified amount of time if the customer ignores it.
