Hi there,Is it possible to send a blasting message on WhatsApp Business account by Freshchat?

Hi There, Did you know, is it possible to have an integration of Freshchat and some e-Commerce platform on each country?Our leads challenges us whether is it possible to have the integration?

Why is it that in every screenshot of a release note, we can see the contact’s profile picture showing up in the conversation tab, but the Freshchat support team told me that—even if I add a picture to my contact—it will never appear in the conversation tab? So, who’s wrong: the release note screenshots or the customer support team? 🤔  

Recently I tried using the Freshchat’s Flutter SDK on my project. Looking at the documentation; there is this method to load the topics (Conversations) by calling `Freshchat.showConversations();` but this loads a default UI. I want to have my own UI for this along with the conversation when a topic is tapped.I’m thinking of using the API to achieve this but still looking for simpler ways.Using API, I can load the topics/Channels but not sure how to load the messages from agent and requester once the topic(Channel) is tapped.

Several months ago I was told by support that you will eventually be able to use your Contact Center number in Freshchat over SMS. Is there any info on when that will be available? SMS was an important part of my workflow before switching to Omnichannel and I would like to start using it again.

What's SuprDaily?SuprDaily is a subscription-based delivery company for milk, daily essentials like bread and eggs, and groceries. It helps people to manage their grocery needs easily from their smartphones. Founded in 2015, the brand has grown rapidly to serve thousands of users. SuprDaily has since been acquired by Swiggy (India’s largest food delivery service provider) and currently operates in 6 cities. What issues did they face? As the user base and demand for SuprDaily’s service grew 10x from a modest 5000 - 7000 deliveries daily, it became more and more impractical to support customers without a robust system in place. Customers could reach out to support via WhatsApp and a helpline number.How did Freshchat and bots solve these issues for them?SuprDaily’s support team has rapidly scaled from using a single agent WhatsApp interface to a 50+ agent team on Freshchat, managing a major chunk of the overall support volume across channels.Today, in lockdown, one of the ways that Supr m

Hey, I’m having a problem with displaying icons as correct content. When I inspect the icons it appears as this in CSS file: .icon-ic_close:before { . content: ""; } Instead of this:.icon-ic_close:before { content: ""; } I’ve read that this might be an @charset “UTF-8” issue, but from our side, the UTF-8 is set.Any ideas would be appreciated  

We followed the guide on connecting a test Apple Business Chat to our Freshchat developer trial account. Multiple times, step by step. We get stuck at the “test connection” portion:Head to the Messages for Business Account page and scroll down to the Messaging Service Provider section.Click on ‘Test your Messaging Service Provider connection.’After that, you’ll be directed to this Chat Sign-in page where you can sign up for preview access to the Chat integration for Apple Messages for Business. On this page, you would be required to log in with your Chat credentials.  Clicking the button to test the connection first goes to this URL (I’ve X’d out random characters for this post):https://web.freshchat.com/settings/integrations/apple?id=c62978b7-XXXX-4624-XXXX-2a7ed8e33XXX Which then redirects to this URL (with some characters X’d out):[type or paste code here](https://api.freshworks.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=590XXX-eaXX-49XX-958a-5e782eXXXXX&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.freshc

Dear Freshchat Community,I am writing to bring attention to a critical issue that seems to be affecting some of us while using Freshchat's web interface. In a previous thread, I received a response from "thebangaloredhaba," who confirmed that they have encountered the same problem with messages not showing up in the Freshchat web gadget.This discovery was quite surprising, as the Freshchat team had initially mentioned that they hadn't received similar reports from other customers 🤔. It's essential for all of us to be aware of the scope of this issue and to come together as a community to find a resolution.We are reaching out to every member of this community to ask: Have you experienced any challenges with messages not being delivered to customers via Freshchat's web chat? If so, we want to hear from you. Your input and experiences are crucial in identifying the root cause of this problem and collaborating on potential solutions.Please take a moment to share your insights, whether you

Hi,Our code was working until just this week and now we get 401 errors. We havent made any changes that should cause this so Im curious if it could be the latest Freshchat update or the FDK update. Also curious if anyone knows how to fix it.This is the function I’ve narrowed down is having an issue. It will iterate through once hit the if statement call itself again and then fail on the 2nd .get request.This is the log, I’ve just hid some of the private information.If anyone could help I’d be very grateful.

My support is 100% on WhatsApp, but I saw that it can take “weeks” to add a WhatsApp number into the system.Does anybody knows how long does it can take to add a number from Brazil? Thanks

Hi,We have the ‘direction’ set to ‘ltr’ so the chat widget displays in bottom left. The iframe is set to width 100%. However, the iframe blocks clicks to any content under it which causes issues. How do we resolve this please?

If we populate the Fresh Messaging FAQs can these articles be made available as a searchable webpage in my site (separate to chat icon -- which people may prefer not to explore until they have a specific desire for chat)?Additionally, this would also allow us to reference these articles in emails.

Is there a way to customize FreshChat icons on the website when the chat is online/offline? This gives a clear visual cue to the customers on Chat available or not.
