What differentiates Freshchat from other similar products?

When compared to similar apps, it stands out due to the availability of cross-platform integration tools for iOS, Android, and the Web. The ability to notify folks via a channel is fantastic.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Freshchat streamlines my communications with customers and leads sourced from my work in social media management and internet advertising. It's possible for me to raise the number of customers and set up the corresponding chat. It's great that the chatbot can have such a rich conversation with the consumer, providing helpful information and suggestions about the company's services and goods and even closing the deal. Webhooks allow me to track the status of an order, a payment, an invoice, or any other event that pertains to our business and the use of our platform, and then display that information to the user in a way that meets their needs

What do you dislike most about this product?

The learning curve is steep, but I've gotten the hang of it and can now use the software effectively. Many customers have complained to me that they find it difficult to use the bot and that it requires a significant investment of time. Second, it takes a long time to develop the chatbot.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a great option for any business or organization in need of a streamlined method of answering consumer questions and fixing problems; it's simple to understand and use, and it works smoothly and without snags with a wide range of third-party apps.

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Knowledgebase Allows users to create knowledgebase articles, metadata tags, creation data and author's name

Integration With CRM The chatbot’s integration with the organization’s CRM would allow for customer information to be queried, once the customer’s identity has been verified.

Workflow Processing By leveraging the chatbot’s AI capabilities, the intelligent routing of data across an organization, based on pre-defined parameters of a workflow.

Multi-channel Supports live chat, mobile app, powerbot and messenger

Leads Generation The chatbot can take its interaction as input as a possible new sales lead, for follow-up by an organization’s business development office.

Scheduled Availability The ability to schedule when the chatbot will be available, if its role is to augment a service desk on an after hours basis.

Natural Language Processing Allows chatbot to “understand” voice/text inputs relayed by a human in conversational vernacular, and be able to process & relay feedback in natural speech.

Voice or Text Input Chatbot interaction through audible (voice) or text (keyboard) input.

Wayfinding Allows the chatbot to act as a site’s search engine, in addition to a text-based search field, and have access to a service desk’s service catalog.

Application Programming Interface For more customized needs, the chatbot may have an API which would allow an in-house developer to access features of the chatbox.

Personalized Service In conjunction with CRM integration, or through the use of browser cookies, the chatbot can be configured to deliver a more personalized service to the client.
