Allow consumers to create a continuous connection with your brand through a familiar messaging interface.
- When a consumer starts a new conversation, or a new customer visits the site, brands can send the first message with a list of quick replies of common intents. You can configure the Welcome message as a simple text message with or without quick replies.
- A picture is worth a thousand words. Photo-sharing allows consumers to share images with their agent, so they can better describe an item, pinpoint a problem, or specify a product or service.
- Add an in-conversation shortcut to skip straight to new messages and save consumers time while scrolling within a conversation. The shortcut includes a badge displaying the number of unread messages, a message preview. A divider line will distinguish between reading and unread messages.
- Deliver a personal touch by displaying the send icon used by the consumer’s operating system (such as the paper plane or arrow) on your message ‘send’ button and customize it to match your brand colors.
- Show previews of URLs shared by the agent or consumer in the consumer’s conversation thread to give them a better understanding of your product or service.
- Configure the removal of the resolved divider in a conversation thread to create the feel of one ongoing, undisrupted conversation.
- Use the callback provided by the Conversational Cloud whenever a consumer clicks on an agent picture to gain greater insight into consumer activity. You can also trigger additional information, such as the agent’s profile or a menu bar, to open in response to the consumer’s click.
- Configure your regular expressions that will create hyperlinks within the conversation to other channels (URLs, emails, and phone numbers), directing consumers to engage with your brand on more levels.
- Make the conversation between agent and consumer more personal by sending emojis.
- Give consumers more control over the conversation with an action menu.
Managing consumer expectations
Communicated system messages regarding response time create a better service.
- Prevent frustration by providing automatic immediate notice to consumers of the expected reply time.
- Allow them to request faster response times by marking messages as urgent.
- Keep consumers informed at all times with a longer response time calculated for offline hours.
- The display read notifications, message timestamps, and ‘agent is typing’ status to ensure consumers are always aware of agent activity during a conversation
