Freshdesk Messaging is available on all of our business saas software web pages to connect our clients directly to the help team for time-sensitive product and admin user issues. Also recently connected Messaging to a retail Apple/Android app to assist users with subscription and user difficulties. Messaging is now more than 40% of our client contact which reduces equal contact by phone and email. Our clients typically are running our web-based software for their clientele to access a member portal. Many of the issues are user-related with the unfamiliarity with the software. We are able to use messaging to quickly access the product pages of our clients and direct them to solutions or provide instant support. Messaging on our app greatly assists novice app users in issues creating a profile and subscribing.

We use it as the CRM tool for handling customer tickets where customer can raise their concerns. Business problems include item-related issues, order-related issues, or payment-related issues mainly. The scope is vast where over 300 users are on the tool handling tickets. This involves using multiple features as well.

Freshchat is really easy to use with massive functionality. Its integration with a lot of applications makes it easy to use and implement with other applications as well. I have been using Freshchat for some time now and I have integrated it with our CRM, Active Campaign and all the functionality was retained perfectly

We previously only used FreshDesk for Support Tickets. We added FreshChat last year, and we use this daily with our customers. It allows us a direct access for quicker customer service, and we're able to resolve issues faster. I like that it connects directly with Freshdesk and our platform, so it was an easy thing to implement!

We used Freshchat as the pop-up web chatbox on our website. It was a highly customizable chatbox with handy drop-down menus and easy-to-see topics from the first click on the chatbox button on the main site. We were able to also let users search our FAQs directly through the chatbox and we were able to put our company colors and logo on the chatbox as well. I thought it was a great chatbox because you do live customer service through it and even have the customer share their screen with you so you could see exactly what they were seeing and help them much more effectively!

Prior to Freshdesk Messaging, Fantastic Services used a custom-built live chat platform. However, the sales and customer service teams faced two major challenges with it:Limited capabilities and features: The platform performed only basic tasks. The agents had to manually pick up tickets which took time away from interacting with customers. Additionally, agents spent more time waiting for replies from idle customers, which reduced agent concurrency. Required technical expertise: Even with a full in-house development team, Fantastic Services found it hard to maintain its chat platform. Maintenance and technical updates slowed down support. They needed an outsider to lend a hand with the chat channel. Freshdesk Messaging was the perfect solution for the teams at Fantastic Services. The myriad of features offered by Freshdesk Messaging along with ease-of-use enabled the sales and customer service teams to scale their chat channel. Fantastic Services now uses Freshdesk Messaging not just for customer service but for revenue generation as well.

Communicate with customers and employees through Freshdesk and understand their requirements and needs. There are not many problems, but there is some slow response in some cases, but mostly there are no problems. The scope of work revolves around communicating with customers and monitoring the movements of employees with customers as well.

The organization in which I work uses the Freshdesk to communicate between us and customers through chat and this helps us to speed up communication and solve problems without the need for calls and this causes comfort to both parties to us and to the customer and it is important for me because the work is based on it in the first place.

Freshchat is a cloud-facilitated informing and commitment application made to meet the fluctuating requirements of outreach groups both huge and little. As per fulfilled clients, Freshchat brings the visiting experience to a more customized level, and change discussions to both yours and your clients' assumptions. The advanced application allows me to plan and convey context-oriented messages, catch leads, and qualifying assets, and accumulate important client knowledge straightforwardly from my clients or outsider frameworks.

Freshchat has been a great help for me in managing good communication with the client. A great dashboard, fully functional UI, and good customer support make it even more reliable. I have been using it for a long time and it has been best for me throughout, I would definitely recommend this to other businesses to have this in their ecosystem to better communicate with clients.

As an Ed-Tech Start-up, we provide courses on various topics like App development, website development (Frontend and Backend), Cloud, graphic designing, UI/UX, and many more. For us, client satisfaction is a prime motto, and solving their issues, helping them in their difficulties is necessary. Earlier the clients (mainly students, speakers and instructors) used to contact us via email or, in urgent cases, call us. While calling resolves issues immediately, the problem with the calling feature was we used to get a lot of spam calls. It wasted our time and also reduced the chances so solving important issues. The next option was through email, where we wanted to solve issues immediately. But with a large no of queries, and solving them manually becomes a tedious task, we wanted something that could give [us an] instant solution and which can help us separate spam messages from the relevant ones. That is when we started using tools like Freshchat, Intercom, Tawk and Live Chat

We purchased Freshchat to make the most out of communication opportunities with customers through our company websites and landing pages. The tool is now being used to automate some of this communication, as well as collect data around the major interests and pain points of our customers by analysing where they get stuck/ exit from our pages/ request support and resolve those issues proactively for the next site visitors. The ultimate goal is to improve the experience of existing and potential customers alike.

We use Freshchat for talking with our old and new customers. A lot of people enter our website and talk to us on Freshchat. Freshchat is easy to implement on our customer's websites and is easy to customize as well. The mobile SDK is awesome and it works with some frameworks like Ionic, React Native and Native development.

We are using Freshchat in two departments: Sales and Support. We generate leads using Freshchat, and support our customers with their doubts and problems. We offer support for our customers using the channels Chat integrated into Freshdesk, and we support incoming demands from Whatsapp as well, because we have integrated Whatsapp to Freshchat.

Freshchat was used by our support team for about two months. It was included as part of our Freshdesk licensing, so we thought it would be great to offer as an additional support channel for our customers. It gave our customers the freedom to reach out to us while continuing to do whatever they are doing at that moment.

We use Freshchat to support our customers and assist them with bookings.

It is used by the customer service department. The best feature that we liked about Freshchat was that there was an FAQ section that was very close to the chat option. This would allow our customers to browse through the FAQs before they decide to reach out to our customer service agent. Additionally, we were able to setup business hours and configure a bot to capture user details (email & mobile) when our agent is away. The look was smooth and it was easy to setup on both web and app.
