WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging platforms available on the market. It allows users to make calls, send messages, and share files thanks to mobile internet network access. The application is free for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and is also available as a web application accessible via browsers. It has found its place as both a consumer app and as a business app.
Our WhatsApp integration allows you to integrate your WhatsApp accounts into the LiveAgent ticketing system and use it as one of your customer communication channels. Replying to customer messages on WhatsApp is a fast and efficient way to handle customer queries and provide convenient customer service for each customer.
How does the WhatsApp feature work?
LiveAgent connects your WhatsApp accounts and integrates them into the help desk system. Then, it gathers all available WhatsApp conversations and transforms them into help desk tickets, which you can easily access from your universal inbox. This feature is great because you can use it with all of our other essential and advanced features. Thanks to this, you can improve your workflows, provide quicker replies, organize your customer messages, and solve queries much faster.
Why should you provide customer support with WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is popular for messaging in various use cases. It’s ideal for providing quick advice and solving smaller customer requests fast. A great part of WhatsApp conversations is that your customers can engage in both synchronous and asynchronous messaging, leaving the option to set the conversation speed in their hands.
Not every customer may be a fan of social networks like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, but they still would like to have the option to have conversations over the internet. That’s what makes WhatsApp a significant customer service channel and a capable business integration for every good help desk.
WhatsApp is one of the most used social messaging channels worldwide, which gives it ample possibilities to become one of your most popular customer service channels. Thanks to being able to send messages over WhatsApp, your customers can chat with your customer support agents anytime, anywhere.
Other great aspects of using WhatsApp for customer service are its speed and convenience, since each outbound message is delivered in real time. WhatsApp messaging encourages shorter messages and faster replies. Amaze your customers with the speed of live chat and the ease of a popular messaging channel.
