On [this page](https://app.saasmonk.ai/settings) within your dashboard, make sure you -

1. **Turn on user visibility**: if you ever intend on chatting with visitors via Slack or the dashboard, this needs to be on! This ensures your profile image shows up publicly.
2. **Set a default chat greeting**: you can update the default greeting that gets sent through the "Greet Visitor 👋" button on Slack. *Tip: make it as non-robotic as you can for more engagement*
3. **Set a message for your bio**: this can just be your job role, or something to put a smile on your visitor's face :wink:

## Updating your profile picture

Your profile picture will be visible in the chat widget to your website visitors. Putting a face to your name really helps in their confidence of you being a real person!

{% hint style="info" %}
Be sure to upload an image that shows your face prominently
