Ability to send chat responses as email replies, if customer has left the chat
Posting in behalf of a customer:
If we have the contact's email address, I'd like the ability for live chat responses to be sent as an email to a customer if they've left the chat widget. This will ensure that they've received our response to their query.
yes - this is really necessary. Users often close chat window after providing email - after all the promt offers to take their email if they dont have time to wait for a reply. So I expect Inbox to send my chat replies to custoemr via email if they've already closed the chat popup or left the site.
This feature is a must. If the customer closes the chat, he won't ever receive our responses. If the chat has come as an offline message and if the chat bot has collected user email id, it must be sent to the customer via email. I hope HubSpot sees through this major loophole.
This feature is really needed and is something that is available in Drift, the transcript of the conversation is also sent to the prospect so its easy to pick up a chat conversation where it left off. We really need this in Hubspot!
It seems like an unecessary extra step for our reps to have to fire up an email to reply to the chat, it would be much more effective for them to be able to do it on the same screen.
This is a basic feature that is really missing currently. Right now our reps have to be assume when someone has closed the chat window and then separately go into email to continue the conversation. This obviously breaks the flow and is unreliable.
Thank you for reaching out about this feature. It is currently in beta testing and we are looking for users. If you would like to test this feature out please fill out the form below:
I have a feedback on this feature. Once we reply to a chat by converting it into an email, it should remain as email in the system. It switches back to chat after every reply and if we are not careful, the customer won't get our response!
