Top Live Chat Features for your Business
A company or organization needs to offer excellent and professional service to its customers, no matter how big or small it may be. The majority of consumers nowadays prefer chatting with an agent online to calling. As a result, they expect to see a live chat button on your website. Live chat services are different, so before you integrate a webchat with your website, you need to answer the following questions:
- How do I know who my customers are?
- What is their preferred method of contacting us?
- Should I provide 24/7 live chat support?
- Should I invest in a chatbot?
- Is it necessary to have a dedicated live chat customer service team, or can my employees multitask?
Chat management made easy
You can manage your workflow with several live chat features provided by Provide support:
- Logging out forced: The account Control Panel allows you to remotely close your agent’s app if, for some reason, they left it running.
- An unlimited number of departments: It is easier for the chats to reach the right agents by creating departments and adding departments selections to the pre-chat survey. You won’t have to worry about transferring chats between departments.
- Distribution methods for chats: In addition, you can select the chat distribution method which is most suitable to your workflow: all agents can see incoming chats and any of them can accept them. The chats can also be distributed randomly or round robin-style taking into account the load on agents.
- Closing inactive chat rooms: The chat will automatically close after several minutes, depending on the time that you have set in your account’s Control Panel.
Importing and exporting predefined responses
It may take quite a long time to create a list of predefined responses. Predefined response lists help agents save time while facilitating workflow. It is possible to import them directly from a CSV file, rearrange them in your account, assign specific agents or departments to them, or make them available to everyone in the organization. In the event that you need to transfer responses from another live chat account, exporting them to a CSV file, and then importing them should be able to help you.
From a CSV file, create agent profiles
An enterprise live chat feature that allows you to create agent profiles from CSV files can help you set up your live chat account more quickly and begin assisting customers. Your employees will be able to export their information from your database this way. In this case, you can import data and create multiple accounts in the live chat account in a few clicks.
