# Closing chat message

### Overview

The **Closing Chat Message** automation allows you to send a message to customers automatically when a chat is closed. This can be used to inform them that the conversation has ended, encourage them to leave a review, or set expectations for future interactions.

**Example Messages:**

* *"Agent has left the chat."*
* *"Thank you for contacting us! Please leave a review at this link: \[Insert Link]."*

{% hint style="info" %}
This automation will only trigger **once every six hours** per conversation. If a chat is closed and reopened within this time, the message will not be sent again.
{% endhint %}
