Save time with Canned responses

“Can you give me the list of plans?”“ What’s the pricing plan?”“ What all pricing plans do you folks provide?”“ Send me the pricing plan!”Customers have questions. And these questions can get repetitive. Imagine typing the same response Every. Single. Time. Tiring, right?Well, don’t sweat it because with Freshchat’s Canned responses save your time in the most amazing way. You can set predefined responses to common customer queries and welcome/thank you messages. This can be accessed and sent by team members as part of their conversation.To access your short code use a slash followed by the response. Pretty cool, right? This helps in having high impactful conversations and decreases your workload.

Hiding conversation bot of different websites

Hello there!So me and my team are supporting few different websites.We will have the chat widget branded for the each site, and we want to have different bots on each website.As the conversation bot is using topics and the topics are shared if the language is the same, I cannot seem to figure out a way to make different bots for the different websites.Is there a way to trigger bots or bot flows based on site id or is there any other way for me to achieve what we need?

Integrations oAuth error - Apple Messages for Business

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

Hi!I really need to measure the satisfaction of calls via whatsapp. However, Freshchat does not allow the survey to be sent via whatsapp. What is the solution for these cases?

Message Delivery Issue in Freshchat's Web Interface - Your Input Needed!

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

Anyone else facing issues with messages not appearing in Freshchat web-widget?

Hey there, fellow Freshchat users!I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to reach out to see if any of you have come across a peculiar issue while using Freshchat's web-chat widget. We've been facing a problem where our agent's messages are not visible to customers. It's like our responses are disappearing into thin air!Here's what happens: Our agent types out a reply, but the customer responds with things like, "I can't see any writing" or "Hello, anyone there?". It's frustrating because it seems that the customers aren't receiving our messages at all.We reached out to the Freshchat support team, and they told us that no other users have reported this issue. But we're really curious to know if any of you have experienced something similar. Are we alone in this? 😿

Freshsales Suite chat to FreshDesk ticket

I'm trying to find a way to “resolve and create a ticket” in a chat bot.I have linked Freshdesk and Freshsales suite, but it appears to be all or nothing. i.e. ALL conversations are resolved as tickets or the agent has to do it manually.Is there a way to create a ticket based on chat input for some chatbot flows and not others?example scenario:Client requests a call from a support team member - the chatbot creates a ticket in helpdesk and resolves the chat.

Freshchat auto idle message

Hello All, Is there a way to auto send an idle message to the customer who is exceeding 5 minutes to respond to the message on FreshChat? For instance, “This conversation will be closed in 5 minutes if you didn’t respond, you can start a new conversation anytime.”

Live Chat - Resolve chat experience

We have a big issue when solving that chat if the customer is away for more than 5 mins. The display chat box only show this survey and hide the last message from agent. While this is a customer failure cus they are away but they still click option “No” since they’re not able to see the last message from agent & there is no reply box.I think FreshChat should move this survey to the top in order to not hide the last message & display the reply box at the bottom as usual. ThanksMia

System migration - need advice choosing new platform

I am a Spanish speaker I will try my best in English I hope I made myself clear enough. During many years I have been working on a spreadsheet (google sheets) for a company, to be used as the main database and management system, where you can find customer info, you can see all the purchases made by that client, you can get a list of clients that need to be reached, you can find the prices list for the products, product information, you can use it to input the orders, print every order and track it until delivery and payment, and the order itself also feeds stock, create an order to refill stock, It is also used to calculate the payment for the salesmen, create statistics and get sales trends, etc. It includes almost everything the client needs, it's pretty cool. Everything created in google sheets. No macros needed so far. The thing is that now the client needs to make the same system but more friendly to be used for non experienced people (almost none IT knowledge, I mean, at all!).

[UX Update] New Labels for Default and Custom Views in Inbox - LIVE

We're happy to let you know that we've implemented new labels for default and custom views in the Conversation Status section of the Inbox. These labels are designed to enhance the customer request categorization process, making it easier for agents to keep track of their workload and prioritize tasks based on their status.As a part of this update, we have also renamed some of the old labels to provide better clarity and consistency across the views. Here are the old and new default view labels:All open and unassigned (previously named - New): The view lists and shows all the new and unassigned conversations. My open (previously named - Assigned to me): The view lists all the conversations assigned to the agent. All open and assigned (previously named - All assigned): The view lists all conversations that have been assigned to any agent on your team. All Resolved (previously named -  Resolved): All Resolved views lists all the resolved conversations. Bot (previously named Bot conversat

Freshchat SLA - start timer from first client message

I recently implemented an SLA with a timer that begins once a chat is assigned to a group and once it is ‘breached’ (our agents hate this term by the way - exceeded is a friendlier term), uses advanced automations to send a bot message to the client to let them know agents are busy and will be with them soon.We’d like to change the timer start to after the client sends their first message but I cannot see an option for this. Is this doable?

Need some direction with missing name in Freshchat box

Afternoon, Nearly five months ago I got help from the community to modify one of the chat bubbles. In the process of building that I lost an important bit of the system - the clients name entry before the chat starts.*Please note that we have the the chat bubble set to turn off outside business hours. 8 - 6 EST.This is our standard and live site with chat: https://manitoulintransport.com/This is the development site we created the site on: https://manitoulintdev.wpengine.com/Depending upon the time you are looking we have changed the icon and it bounces - although that may have to go -but I can’t get it to ask for the Clients name upon first chat.If someone could give me an idea what I broke, it would be hugely appreicated. Please let me know if this is the approprate place to ask this question. Thank you!
