A versatile App

5.0 last month New

Comments: It has been one of the greatest apps that I've ever used to interact with customers and the fact that we're able to send the chat transcripts give an incredible peace of mind to the clients

Pros:

You can easily share files with customers, send links, or even schedule meetings - you can also set up canned responses to answer common queries. It's also great that you can transfer chats between agents, which is helpful if your business has multiple departments with different specialties (or mostly because customers tend to request to speak to an agent) It is also important to note that the messages have a layout that is similar to Facebook/messenger. the queued chats are displayed in a column on the left panel, while you can focus on a chat in the center panel. Additionally, there's a right panel where you can see all the details of the customer that you're currently helping (sites that they've visited, their device, their browser, if they're a returning customer or not, etc.)

Cons:

It can be pricey if you have several agents - there are multiple plans based on how many people you need to go live - One of the basic ones allows you to have 14 people at the same time (including admins, so this can reduce the number of agents that'll be assisting a customer))

Excellent facility

5.0 last month New

Comments: Great system used daily to share so much information. Used in collaboration with hubs

Pros:

Ease of use, speed it runs to get an instant connection for response. Helps with so much, communication, customer support, product knowledge and much more. You get transcripts too

Cons:

Nothing really but would be nice to have options of more sound notifications when a message sent or times out after low usage
