Awesome App. Seamless integration. Really easy way to engage with new customers and answer their queries, provide reassurance in this Covid challenged world and as an online gift store, provide some of the personal service and interaction normally only available to brick and mortar stores. Love the new knowledge base. Great feature. Keep up the great work.

Hi Gifts Actually,

Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for giving us a 5-star review!

We are happy to know that you love our Knowledge Base product and find it easy to use with your customers.

Great news! We have just released a major update to our chat widget.

See our latest release here: https://www.tawk.to/category/updates/

This new update has Widget Cards that allow you to personalize the content of your widget.

You can now add an article, an article list or a search engine bar for your Knowledge Base.

You can also add other kinds of content to your chat widget, including videos, images and agent profiles. It’s like having a mini-website in the chat.

To learn more about how to customize the Widget Cards, visit this link: https://help.tawk.to/article/customizing-the-widget-header-and-body-cards

If you have any other questions, require assistance, or just want to talk to someone at tawk.to, here is a link to my calendar: https://calendly.com/siennarubio/30min. I'd be happy to help!

Excellent, especially for a free app. Easy to install and use, Customers seem to prefer it to the contact form. One thing would make it better, if it could be set up to automatically go offline when you close the dashboard.

Hi Alt Rocks,

Thank you for choosing tawk.to and for sharing your review with the community!

We are happy to know that you find our offline form useful for communicating with your customers.

Your widget will go offline as long as there is NO AGENT logged in to the Dashboard on either a computer or mobile device.

If you are using the Widget Scheduler, the widget will go offline when you are not logged in and also when your widget is scheduled to go offline.

The Scheduler's purpose is to make the chat widget go offline even if the agent is logged in.

Once the Scheduler is activated, you don't need to worry about forgetting to log out or manually setting your status to Offline.

Example:

Let's say you’ve scheduled your widget to appear online from 9 AM - 5 PM. If you log in before 9 AM, you can still monitor your visitors without receiving any chats. Your chat widget will stay offline and the visitor will get the offline form.

The same thing happens when the clock hits 5 PM. Even if there are agents online, the chat widget is forced to go offline (though chats in progress will continue until they are completed or the visitor leaves)..

To learn more, visit this link: https://help.tawk.to/article/using-the-widget-scheduler

If you have any questions or require assistance, we invite you to reach out on our 24/7 support line. Our live agents are always available to assist you.

Looking for Chat for your website... stop looking, this is the one you want... we have tried about a half a dozen others... this one beats them all hands down on features, and support... oh and the price, zip, nada, none, free

So dont even waste you time on the other chat systems, this one has more features, no limits, more options, more configurations..

We've only been using this app for a few days now on both our Shopify store (https;//www.KawaiiSquishyStore.com) and our CrateJoy store (http://TheSquishyBox.com) and it is truly awesome! Very easy to install and set up. Love how I can see the chats from multiple stores all in one place. I don't understand how they can offer this for free, but I'm not complaining. An absolute must!

This is by far the best chat program on the market. I could never hear the other chat programs when i got a message this one is loud and does it several times like a phone. It has loads of other features that work very well. Great job!
