Working with the default messaging response
The default messaging response Once a messaging widget is enabled, the default messaging response is activated, which provides a functional, basic conversation to greet a customer when they launch the Web Widget, and transfers them to an agent.
The default messaging response includes a basic greeting for customers and a request for information about their support needs, then a message letting them know they’re being connected to an agent. Behind the scenes, agents are notified in the Agent Workspace that a support request has been received, and they can accept the request and begin responding to the conversation.
Without any configuration actions on your part, the default messaging response appears to the end user as follows:
There are a number of options available to customize this interaction, including requesting customer information and establishing business hours.

Why are you not able to add other fields that are not name or email? Also, why is required to collect name and/or email in the messaging widget?
You are able to add other fields that are not name or email - please useAdding custom fields to your tickets and support request form. You can skip fields where is required to collect names and/or emails in the messaging widget instead you can use different step types. Please follow -Understanding answer flow step types.
Hope it helps
"Working with the default messaging response"
- can a description field be added for "Response outside of business hours"? It seems essential to me.
