Shopify Inbox

es una buena aplicacion, pero seria mejor su directamente te enviara respuesta a whatsapp mas que al correo cuando uno no responde de inmediato. se hace mas facir la comunicacion por whatsapp creo. ademas seria bueno que uno pudiese ponerle un timbre exagerado e insistente al telefono cuando llegan mensajes por aqui, se pierde facilmente el momento online con el cliente.

I want to like it, but it definitely has some annoying shortfalls. My biggest wish is that in addition to the away message, it'd be nice to just disable the chat altogether and hide it from the website on a schedule. I do this manually sometimes so I'm not getting pinged on my off days, but somehow customers are still able to send messages. Then the app keeps bugging me that "A customer is awaiting a response" and "Make sure you respond to the customer before they get away!" even though I have an away message set with details of how to reach us when the chat window is supposed to be "closed." We only have one person (me) handling online customer support, and I don't want to always be "On" and "Available." I like how well it integrates with Shopify since it is a native app, and the inbox page and app work well. I like how quick and easy it is to solve problems and answer questions when a customer reaches out. I like how they changed the way responses work when sending a message after the customer left the site. Email is much less disruptive and expected vs getting a response with no context from a random phone number because phone numbers used to be required. Please keep working on the app and making it better, but I'm probably disabling it again after the holidays and the holiday returns season is over.

Shopify Inbox is finally getting enough functionality to begin being useful for many merchants. Here's how to get to five stars, Shopify: -Customers need to be able to attach images in chat
-Team members should be able to have internal discussions about a chat that the customer can't see. Our current workaround is to communicate outside of Inbox to discuss issues in Inbox
-Add the ability to turn off 'add to cart' and 'buy now' when inserting Products in chat. We want people to see our subscription options and 'add to cart' and 'buy now' allows the customer to bypass the product view and miss those options
-I dream of Shopify offering a customer Knowledge Base feature for merchants with a nice standardized theme. In addition to having this knowledge base available from store menus, customers can search this knowledge base within the chat client, saving support agents a lot of time. Intercom does this really well
-Chat conversations can be synced to CRM software like Hubspot
-Customers can see the agent's name (or handle) in chats as opposed to the chat always being from "Company Name"
-Agents can upload a profile photo
-Collision avoidance so multiple agents don't accidentally respond to the same chat at the same time. This could be as simple as allowing agents to see when other agents are typing on a chat
-Agents can set their availability to away which will pause audible notifications
-Browser notifications should not show each message from a customer and another agent to all agents. With multiple ongoing conversations, this gets very loud and when an agent is helping a customer, the other agents do not need to see every message sent in those chats
-Just because someone enters their email address on Chat, it doesn't make them a Customer. We define a customer as someone who has made a purchase, so it would be nice to have a separate bucket for these contacts instead of adding them all to the customers list in Shopify. Alternatively, if Customers in Shopify were renamed Contacts, this may make more sense

Of all the live chats, this one is one of the best. The biggest issue I have with it is the lack of support for people to send emails directly in. If they had this I would definitely use it, however due to the lack of this I still require some other software to manage when people reply to emails that are sent.

Feature Requests: Please give us an option to do the following with Shopify Chat app:

* Custom button size text box or slider; the button is too big on mobile and covers elements of a web page on smaller 4-4.7" screens. I'd live a 35-45px icon size instead
*Choose what corner of the screen the chat button appears, and what its shape can be optionally (rounded corner tab in the corner or side of page, circle button, square shape)
* Choose a custom PNG or SVG image in place of the default icon/text options for chat button that you have designed
* Give an option to also direct message/IM using third-party URLs/profiles (Telegram. WhatsApp, etc.) within the chat window element ("Also chat via: Telegram, WhatsApp" links within the window)

Good but unfortunetely this app is not adapted for international website. Because we we can't translate the inbox in several languages, big default...

Good app but loads and alerts me of messages very slowly. Many times customers have left before I am able to reply to them. Is there a way to speed it up?

Customer states: Your web chat window (at least on my system) can't be resized or relocated and it blocks much of the page... I will need to close it in order to see if I can now add that product to my cart.

Shopify inbox is great with seamless integration with Facebook Messenger and Instagram Direct Message, however, customers are not able to send images from the website live chat, which is something essential for customers to be able to send images. Extra options and flexibility shall come to Instant answers, like Check Orders, Edit Orders, Edit Shipping Address.
Track my order also needs some flexibility to be able to change the link from Thank You page to Order Tracking page, which it is the information customers usually looking for. We hope to have Inbox with some great updates very soon. Abdelaal
