Really enjoyed Crisp myself, a ton of really helpful features, in particular, the live translate which is great if you have customers overseas! It also comes with built-in help docs to save you having to use another service for that!

Great customer support inbox, but by combining a Knowledge Base, online messaging and live chat, it lets visitors find answers first, or get direct support.

Answer

Botsify keeps up with the latest features and updates of facebook! I engage my customers with messenger ads by embedding call to action buttons through media blocks that botsify provides and have received a good reception from my audience on it.

Answer

"Thank you botsify for providing such a user-friendly chatbot building website. I can train my chatbot as soon as i receive a message from customers that my chatbot is not already taught and make it respond to queries more efficiently the next time! "

Arjun Menon · Answer

This chatbot platform is so cool! I can send scheduled messages to my customers and ask them how’s the day going or remind them to place an order they left in the middle. This let’s me build a stronger relationship with my customers and stay in touch with them.

Answer

Believe me or not, I didn't even know how to create my own chatbot before, as if it was some rocket science! I tried using some other chatbot builders too but none of them were as simplified as Botsify. Now, not only I created, customized and teach my chatbot but collect leads through it everyday!

Answer

"While talking to customers it’s important that our customer support delivers the right brand voice and tone. Botsify gives the option to use branding tools for our chatbots like customizing chat window color, name of the bot & its email, logo and a greeting message. This not only grabs customer’s attention but makes them feel comfortable to an extent. "

Alek Yoyo · Answer

So many chatbot makers but Botsify provides a place to create smart chatbots. I get to create ‘Context-aware stories’ as the chatbots are capable of understanding the customer’s question asked in a particular context.

Answer

The experience with Botsify became more and more interesting as I worked on my chatbot. I make short stories and connect them with each other using a plugin called ‘Add Story’. This way i get to make multiple stories for multiple scenarios and join them as i need.

Usama · Answer

Answer

The best chatbot is the one that gives a human interaction feeling when customers converse with it. Botsify provides so many options to humanize the chatbot like small talk response. This is what kept me to use this chatbot platform across my various websites.

Mahesh · Answer

A very easy and user-friendly chatbot platform! I didn't know a thing about making a chatbot myself and now have been using Botsify for a year and with each passing day the bot learns and gets more and more intelligent. Plus, I get to turn my chatbot on and off whenever I need.

Lana Aranga · Answer

Such a thoughful platform. I went to Botsify Bot store and found that some users have shared their template bots with others to help them start off with chatbots. Tried a few and chose one I found most relevant to my audience; all thanks to the team for enabling this feature!

saket malik · Answer

I have desginated my chatbot to initiate the conversation using Botsify ‘Quick replies’ as soon as any of my customers would hit the ‘Get Started’ button so they don't have to type anything, rather choose from any of the given options and I believe this is how a chatbot should work!

'Acky Andons · Answer

I learned using Botsify within a couple of minutes, it's pretty easy - all I had to do was follow the directions while creating my chatbot and go with the flow. As for customizing the chatbots, you can add features ---> test and repeat the process until you are finally ready.

Answer

The monthly plan compared to other platforms provides value for money. I make chatbots for so many of my clients with a single Botsify account and the $50 I pay for it is absolutely fair!

Ethel Norris · Answer

Out of all chatbot platforms in the market, none provides the human fall back feature, (not even Chatfuel) except for Botsify. I mean the chatbot does get queries out of the blue sometimes and gets stuck so I would wanna jump in the conversation and get through with it and this feature lets me do that!

Andrew · Answer

I use Botsify Bot for my facebook business page and one thing that I must mention is the auto inbox to comments feature where my chatbot captures certain keywords in comments that I set up to respond automatically and save myself the time and energy to reply to these comments over and over again.

Prabhjot Singh · Answer

Strongly Recommended.

Parthiv Patel · Answer

There's a reason most every site uses Intercom. It's easy to implement and dead simple to use. The biggest issue we have with it is that there is no real ticketing system but, we use other tools to solve for that.

Shrey Gupta · Answer

Sona Pisova · Answer

Try LiveAgent! It's super easy to set up, it's fully customizable and language adaptable. It also has advanced features like a real-time typing view.

Jason Grills · Answer

For me, ProProfs Chat worked really well. I’ve been using it for quite some time now. So, I would recommend the same to all. It is fast, easy to use and still helps to keep customers delighted with instant support.

Rostislav Gorbachenko · Answer

mssg.me has a widget with messengers, so your customers can reach you in a messenger from the website in two clicks.

Why it is better than live chat?
1. Usability. The client should not be on the website and wait for your answer.
2. Conversion. Communication with a real person in messenger increase conversion.
3. Promote in messengers. Stay in touch with the client and make promotions in messengers.

Mitesh Shethwala · Answer

It has Video Chat, ScreenSharing all the Features of Intercom too for Chat User Profile Management, along with integration to tons of websites like slack, hubspot, zapier etc!

Answer
