Use case
Customer support and service
Answer customers where they already write, with the full story in front of you.
Customers expect to reach you on the channel they prefer, whether a chat app, email, web chat or a phone call, and not to repeat themselves. A support tool brings those conversations to your team, routes each one to the right person and keeps the history in one place. The right choice depends on your volume, your channels and how much you want to automate.
What matters when choosing
- The channels your customers really use, connected through the channels' official interfaces.
- Routing, assignment and queues so each conversation reaches the right person.
- One customer history across channels, linked to your CRM or order system.
- Clean handover between bots and people, with the context passed along.
- Reports on response time, resolution and customer satisfaction.
Questions to ask providers
- Which channels connect officially, and which rely on unofficial workarounds?
- How does a conversation pass from a bot to a person, and what does the agent see?
- How do you handle channel rules on when we may reply, such as WhatsApp's 24-hour customer service window?
Common mistakes
- Adding channels faster than the team can answer them, so response times grow everywhere.
- Counting how many chats a bot kept away from staff instead of whether problems were solved.
- Keeping customer data in a support tool that cannot connect to your other systems.
Typical channels: WhatsApp Email Web chat & booking page Voice Messenger Instagram Telegram In-app chat
