Hubspot Chat in Mobile App

EBoud

It would be great if there was an option to integrate the live chat tool into my own mobile app.  I'm helping manage the process of building an app for my company and need a troubleshooting/chat feature.  Rather than coding the whole thing up, I was thinking about how nice Hubspot's live chat feature is on our website and thought it would be perfect for our mobile app as well.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are any API's/SDK's to integrate into other mobile apps for now.

Hi all,
 
The Mobile Chat SDK is coming to Live Chat and we are excited to start granting early access to this feature!

What: The Mobile SDK enables you to integrate HubSpot chat into any iOS or Android mobile app to deliver a fast, efficient, and empathetic in-app customer support experience.
 
When: As soon as your application is reviewed
 
Prerequisite:
- Must already be a HubSpot customer (any tier and hub)
- Must already have an iOS and Android mobile app in production
- Your mobile apps must be written in native code (e.g. Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) as opposed to cross-platform frameworks (e.g. React Native, Flutter)
 
Note: We are in search of participants who are open to engaging in a responsive feedback loop. Regular communication is a requirement for those taking part in the Alpha stage.
 
If you are interested in participating in the alpha, please complete this form. We will reach out to confirm enrollment in the alpha once your request has been received and reviewed. Thank you!

Hi! Have you found a workaround for having HubSpot live chat on your mobile app? I'm very interested in looking into workarounds.

The new "The Mobile Chat SDK is coming to Live Chat" Beta feature isn't helpful yet. We have our app with React Native.
