Shopify Inbox

I love that this allows me to work from my phone so easily to manage support chats.

I really wish that we would be allowed to have quick replies with more than 350 characters. I have a lot of support questions that could use much longer responses that are pre-filled, but i have to go to my customer support system & copy the responses to bring over, which takes some time.

I also wish that we could see which instant answers caused sales to happen, so we had a better grasp on which instant answers to keep and what to else to test!

It's a respectable chat app. Easy to setup, and the notifications are timely. On occasion we have challenges launching the phone app on Android, but 90% of the time it's perfect.

We have several people who do use the chat. It would be great if you could "claim" a chat, or see if another person in your organization is typing. This would prevent the times when two or three people all answer at the same time.

Think the inbox is great, keeps everything organised and notifications come through to website/email easily.

I have found setting up laptop notifications a little more tricky.

Easy peasy. Works well for chat. Would be an absolute killer app if it could accept and manage inbound emails rather than just through the widget.

The app is not too bad. But it would be great if the customer could enter their mobile number as well so we gould text back as a backup. Is this possible?

This app is Great! I can track down issues customers are having and stay in touch with them through the process. I do wish that you could program in auto responses. To be able to remind people to request a refund using the Refund link In their Order, rather than having to type it out every time when they aren't seeing that option as the correct way to do it rather than asking in an inbox message.

It's great being able to add this to our customer service game without having to add another subscription to our operations. Other apps may offer more (I wouldn't know) but this is a great option to have without investing time, money and effort into getting chat going.

We like the opportunities that this app provides, but it should allow us to reach out to our visitors. It would be more proactive if we can be assistive, rather than wait for someone to reach out to us. People often don't ask questions. Also could benefit to vet and stop spam. We get a lot of unwanted sales pitches.

Would be great if we could start email conversations here from an order page. This would help centralize all communications in one place instead of going to our email client and sometimes having clients sending messages to chat and email.

Other than that it's extremely simple and works well!

It is a fantastic app that has enabled me to answer questions quickly for our customers. The interface is much like texting, and I do truly view it as an asset.

Room for improvement:
- It would be awesome if an audio reply option was added.
- It would be nice if an auto reply feature was enabled, so I could say "Thanks for contacting us! If you don't get a reply right away, we will contact you via email shortly." or something along those lines. We are a small business, and don't have the ability to staff someone to reply immediately around the clock.
- The auto AI response feature is frustrating. Every time I go to respond to a message, it never types the first word correctly because it is trying to come up with an AI response instead. If this feature could be a button to press to generate a response for those who want to use it, instead of it being the default, that would be so much better.
