Very basic, not at all built out.

There's no option to export your chat history to be able to analyze what questions are commonly asked to create your instant answers from that data.

Also - Shopify "Magic" is anything BUT. It's supposed to use AI to generate suggested Instant Answers for your store...but clearly it just scanned our website to come up with them rather than view our chat history and commonly asked questions.

Definitely not well built out. If you need any actual support chat capabilities, you need something else!

Thanks for taking the time to share this. You're right that Inbox doesn't currently offer a way to export chat history, and that's helpful feedback we'll pass along to the team. On Instant Answers: the AI suggestions are meant as a starting point, and you can fully edit, rewrite, or replace any of them in your Inbox settings so they reflect the questions your customers actually ask. If you'd like a hand tailoring them, our team at help.shopify.com/support is glad to help.

It would have been ok if it didnt conflict with chrome. If you look at the site under developer tools it shows up as a javascript error. That is why I had to remove this app.

Thanks for taking the time to dig into this and share what you found in DevTools. Console messages from the Inbox chat widget are often harmless layout notices tied to your theme rather than a Chrome-breaking conflict, and genuine theme conflicts can usually be sorted out. If you'd like to give it another try, our team at help.shopify.com/support can review the specific error with you and confirm whether it's actually affecting your storefront.

No me aparece en mi página si entro desde el celular y no hay un soporte con personas para ayudarme a ver qué es. EStaba activado en la parte de "Temas" en las "incrustaciones de apps", desinstalé y reinstalé, y nada

Gracias por contarnos los pasos que ya probaste. Cuando el chat no aparece aunque la incrustación esté activada, a menudo es un conflicto con el tema: prueba activándolo en un tema predeterminado (como Dawn) y confirma que el tema esté publicado y guardado. Si quieres que alguien lo revise contigo, puedes hablar con nuestro equipo en help.shopify.com/support.

This app desperately needs inbound email capabilities. Once they have that I'll switch from Intercom. But until then, its just not featured enough to make the switch!

Live Chat allows people to preview what the customer is typing to help better anticipate their needs and give an almost immediate response. Watching dots ... is a waste of time when every second matters

The inbox used to be easy but for some reason, it's not anymore. I haven't been able to respond to inquiries since June 11th and I have no idea why. I even checked the user permission to see if I gave email permissions to my colleague and there wasn't anything there.

So, I don't know what's going on but this has made me and my store look bad. If I can't provide customer support, what's the use of having this thing? I'm very disappointed right now. I won't cancel just yet but do expect this problem to be fixed ASAP.

I've never had issues with Shopify in the past and I am confident this problem will be fixed but for now, I have to be honest with my review. It's not a good one at this time. That will change once I see the problem fixed.

Now that Facebook and Instagram are no longer integrated, we need to look for another app. This app had potential, but now sadly is slightly better than useless

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback. Currently, the Facebook & Instagram Messenger Channel is no longer supported by Shopify Inbox. However, customers can still initiate conversations while browsing your online store and through the Shop chat on the Shop App. -Mac, Shopify Support

It's good but not very customizable. You can't move it to where you want it on the screen and I can't find where to change the instant answers.

We like the idea of using the Shopify inbox on our site but in reality the app is too basic.

There is no ability to universally select notification settings. Notifications are automatically set to ON and now everyone with access to our store is getting notifications.

To switch this off - EVERYONE will need to individually enter the app and disable notifications for themselves. Even if you have 100 staff members who are nothing to do with customer service. That is bad app design.

As the store owner I should be able to select who gets access to Shopify inbox and universally what the notification settings are.

I think there also needs to be more functionality integrated around which staff members are currently available to take conversations - ideally auto allocating them to people on shift.
