## **Example / Use Case**

A bakery creates a bot named **“Bánh mì Floppicanna”**, uploads a bread-themed avatar, and sets the widget color to **#364DE7**. They initially configure the reply language as Vietnamese but later clear it to enable automatic language detection. Finally, they decide to keep the watermark visible for branding transparency.

## **Notes**

* Bot name limit: **50 characters**.
* Ensure chosen theme color passes the **contrast ratio** check for readability.
* Clearing reply language enables **auto-detect mode**.
* Watermark toggle controls whether branding appears on the chat widget.
