"Sie ermöglicht eine integrierte Kundenkommunikation innerhalb des Shopify-Systems. Zusätzlich wünschenswert wäre eine Kalenderfunktion, um Termine und Erinnerungen für weitere Kundenaktivitäten zu verwalten."

I love that this allows me to work from my phone so easily to manage support chats. I really wish that we would be allowed to have quick replies with more than 350 characters. I have a lot of support questions that could use much longer responses that are pre-filled, but i have to go to my customer support system & copy the responses to bring over, which takes some time. I also wish that we could see which instant answers caused sales to happen, so we had a better grasp on which instant answers to keep and what to else to test!

It's a respectable chat app. Easy to setup, and the notifications are timely. On occasion we have challenges launching the phone app on Android, but 90% of the time it's perfect. We have several people who do use the chat. It would be great if you could "claim" a chat, or see if another person in your organization is typing. This would prevent the times when two or three people all answer at the same time.

The Fraudulent Scam messages must be trashed. The algorithm can check the sender's url - for example one fraudulent sender was from Florida claiming I charged his credit card...the software can check and see that the sender did not order anything. The majority of customers who will contact me will hit the contact button and be inquiring about products. If they are a legitimate purchaser then the algorithm can see that.

I would love to have it start automating reponses using AI. By linking with chatgbt it would be so so helpful. When will we see this?

The app is not too bad. But it would be great if the customer could enter their mobile number as well so we gould text back as a backup. Is this possible?

Really helpful for live chatting with customers in need of help. I've used this app for several years and always get chats that turn into sales. I think making contact super easy for customers really helps them trust our site.

It's great that you can search your messages now, that wasn't always the case and presented a major issue. One thing that is a bit confusing is that notifications sometimes go to my personal email and sometimes show up in the Shopify mail, it makes it difficult to find messages at times since searches don't bring up the email. It would also be great to have the possibility to have a link to all correspondence in the order itself, this would make it a lot quicker to access and avoid confusion.

Klappt super. Die Nachrichten kommen in Echtzeit. Und mit der automatischen Antwort und der Weiterleitung nach 15Minuten sind auch zeitversetzte Länder nicht der Gefahr ausgesetzt verloren zu gehen.

We get notified super fast and we love being able to communitcate with our customers in real time. We also appreciate knowing what products they have in their cart and what city they're contacting us from to help with estimating shipping costs.

This keeps all our communication in one place and is a great tool for hashing out details for custom pieces. The AI response suggestions are decent as well for quick communication about one off questions if needed.

It's great being able to add this to our customer service game without having to add another subscription to our operations. Other apps may offer more (I wouldn't know) but this is a great option to have without investing time, money and effort into getting chat going.

the app works well , but sometime it creates more then one conversation for a single customer , which makes hard to chat , as some messages were on different chat and some on other. for the mobile app , i would need a message notification sound of my choice or atleast a sound that is loud enough to hear , sometimes i miss customers messages because of low notification sound. other then this , the app works well

werkt prettig, standaard antwoorden maken en dus vlot gespreksdelen te maken. Herkenbaar geluidje als er een bericht binnenkomt op PC en Mobiel. Superhandig.

Q&Aも追加できて、チャットを開始する前に解決方法を提供できるのでチャットをオープンする回数が減ったと思う。
