Need the ability for the app to actually not message on the phone when the hours are set to off or unavailable.

Great - I like the new AI feature. Hopefully it will learn more over time and responses become quicker and simpler

We like the idea of using the Shopify inbox on our site but in reality the app is too basic. There is no ability to universally select notification settings. Notifications are automatically set to ON and now everyone with access to our store is getting notifications. To switch this off - EVERYONE will need to individually enter the app and disable notifications for themselves. Even if you have 100 staff members who are nothing to do with customer service. That is bad app design. As the store owner I should be able to select who gets access to Shopify inbox and universally what the notification settings are. I think there also needs to be more functionality integrated around which staff members are currently available to take conversations - ideally auto allocating them to people on shift.

o aprimoramento sempre se deve em acelerar o contato apos o cliente fizer alguma solicitação. Tem que ser automatico, o mais rapido possivel !

I like the app, but I wish there was a more convenient way to view inbox messages on the backend of Shopify, instead of having to click through to another page.

It is a little confusing when I keep seeing old messages. There's got to be a way where you can ask if the conversation is over for ever, or not...

Customers like the decor, buildability, and durability of the product. They mention it includes charming gingerbread figures that are perfect for decorating the Christmas tree. They also appreciate the bright colors and cute design.

Very useful app - 1. can send product information 2. AI assistance added - reduces turnaround time in live conversation setting 3. Used effectively this type of customer is usually ready to buy.

It makes communication with customers easier. I like the fact that chat with customer is mentioned and linked also in their order history. I would like to be able to format the message, like in mail, before sending it.

A volte non mi da le notifiche ma in sostanza è una buona chat Quando mandano le foto sarebbe utile poterle vedere una dietro l'altra anzichè uscire e selezionarle una ad una

Now escalation has occurred and they won't fix the issue, furthermore, they requested for me to reload again the information which I paid to begin with 5 yrs ago. This matter needs to be addressed ...

We've been using the Shopify Inbox app for a few weeks, and it’s been fantastic! The app makes it so easy to engage with our customers in real-time, which they truly appreciate—it’s a seamless way to get them instant help without any barriers. We also love the feature that lets us send a message to customers when we're back in the office, keeping the communication flow smooth. Highly recommend it for any business wanting to boost customer satisfaction and streamline support!

I'm having a problem with the emails from Shopify inbox going to my customer junk folder. I have contacted support but they say it's my authentication and/or email settings. But this is the only place where I have an issue. My email is authenticated and shows up appropriately everywhere else.

It is getting better by the day. Can do with some options. But for a free app it shoud get 5 Star. 4 Star now for asking me again for a review. And if you ask me for a review why should I have to agree to your Terms and Conditions.

A great application that works. The problem is that it is only in one language.... There is no way to translate it into other languages like English, French or Spanish. The result is that a Spanish customer only gets the interface in the language of the store (i.e German) and this is a major defect.
