3. Add multiple FB pages in one go – With a Freshchat account, you can add multiple Facebook pages and manage them simply with the help of a toggle within the same app.
4. Automatically connect customers to experts – Freshchat helps you save time and remove the guesswork of finding the right team member by letting you assign conversations automatically to the right experts.
You can assign conversations from different pages to different teams based on the type of question, and all of this is done without any human intervention.
While other tools make your agents spend a lot of time sorting and assigning conversations, Freshchat does all this for you so that your agents can focus on helping your customers.
5. Chatbots – Freshchat is powered with AI chatbots that use NLP and ML to understand the intent behind a customer’s question instead of relying on simple answer workflows, address the first level queries and even transfer a conversation to the agent when required.
Creating custom flows, training your bots on different variations of the same question, answering your customers in their language, and much more can be done with ease using Freshchat bots.
6. Real-time insights – Data = Understanding, if the data is presented in an easily understandable format like charts, trends, and scores.
Freshchat offers real-time insights on your key metrics such as CSAT(Customer Satisfaction) score, response time, number of conversations and agent performance in a visual format, so that you can dive in. To see all the integration capabilities in action, click the banner below to request a demo.
