Operator sign-in: browser, iPhone and Android

Current for EasyChat 1.18.1+

Operators can work in EasyChat from a computer, iPhone or iPad directly in a browser. Android also has a dedicated app with notifications.

There is currently no separate desktop application for Windows, macOS or Linux. On a computer, operators use the EasyChat web admin panel in a browser.

An operator does not need an EasyChat ID. EasyChat ID belongs to the purchase owner and is used for the buyer cabinet, license and downloads. An operator signs in to your local EasyChat installation with a separate username and password, or connects the Android app with a QR code.
  1. Create a separate operator
  2. Choose browser or Android
  3. Share the URL and login or a QR code
  4. Verify the first conversation

How An Operator Signs In: The Short Answer

The administrator gives the operator:

  1. the address of your installed EasyChat, for example https://shop.example/easychat/;
  2. the operator’s separate username;
  3. the password created for that operator.

This is not the buyer cabinet at easychat24.ru/cabinet and not the administration URL of OpenCart, WordPress, Webasyst or 1C-Bitrix.

When someone calls the installation address an “endpoint”, they mean the root address of EasyChat on your website, not a technical API endpoint.

1. Create A Separate Operator

  1. Sign in to EasyChat as an administrator. When EasyChat is installed as a CMS module, open it from your CMS menu.
  2. Open Operators.
  3. Add a new operator.
  4. Enter:
    • a unique login username the employee will recognize;
    • the display name customers will see;
    • a separate strong password;
    • the required permissions and Active status.
  5. Save the operator.

Do not use one shared login for the entire team. Separate accounts let you disable one employee without interrupting everyone else and make it clear who answered a customer.

2. Find The Correct EasyChat Address

The safest method is to open EasyChat and look at the browser address bar.

If it shows:

https://shop.example/easychat/index.php?route=operator

give the operator the base part:

https://shop.example/easychat/

Keep https://, the domain and the installation folder. Remove only index.php?.... If EasyChat is installed in a different folder, use that exact address instead of guessing /easychat/.

Open the resulting address in a private browser window before sharing it. The address is correct when the Sign in to EasyChat form appears. If it opens the website admin panel, buyer cabinet or a 404 error, return to the working EasyChat tab and copy the base part again.
Do not give an operator CMS administrator access or forward the protected one-time link used to enter EasyChat from OpenCart or another CMS. Operators must use their own username and password.

3. Choose A Sign-In Method

  1. The operator opens the EasyChat address in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or another modern browser.
  2. They enter their local operator username and password.
  3. They select Sign in and open Conversations.
  4. On an iPhone or iPad, the page can be added to the Home Screen from Safari for app-like access.

The operator does not need a separate OpenCart or other CMS account.

Your Avatar And Password

After signing in, open the profile menu in the EasyChat header and choose My profile. An operator can:

  • add or remove their own avatar;
  • change their password after confirming the current one.

The administrator still controls the name, username, role and permissions. After a password change, EasyChat signs this operator out on other devices while keeping the current session open. Use a unique password with at least 15 characters.

4. Share Access Safely

  • The installation link and username can be sent through the team’s normal work channel.
  • Send the password separately or provide it in person.
  • Do not post a password, QR code or administrator access in a group chat.
  • Never give an operator the buyer’s EasyChat ID, cabinet password or recovery codes.
  • When an employee leaves, disable their account and revoke connected phones.

Ready-To-Send Message

Copy this template, replace the example with your installation address and share the password separately:

Your EasyChat access:

Address: https://shop.example/easychat/
Username: your_username
I will send the password separately.

You do not need an EasyChat ID or website admin access.

If Sign-In Does Not Work

The EasyChat buyer cabinet opens

The operator received easychat24.ru/cabinet. That is the purchase owner’s cabinet, not the operator workspace. Copy the address of EasyChat installed on the store website instead.

OpenCart asks for an unknown password

This is the administrator sign-in flow. The administrator should return to OpenCart and open EasyChat from its left menu. An operator opens the EasyChat base address and uses the credentials created under Operators.

The username or password is rejected

Check the exact username spelling and confirm that the operator is Active. EasyChat does not display the saved password in plain text. If needed, an administrator sets a new password in the operator profile and shares it securely.

The QR code does not work

Create a new QR code in the same operator row. The previous code may have expired after 10 minutes or already been consumed by a successful connection.

Access Checklist

The operator is ready

Next Step

Send a test message through the website widget and ask the operator to open and reply to it. This checks access, permissions, conversations and reply delivery in one short flow.
