You or any of your support agents can accept the chat request to start assisting the customer. When you accept the chat request, you’ll be connected to the customer and can reply to their queries.
If you or your agents miss a live chat request from a customer, you can find them under the Missed section of Zoho SalesIQ .
Zoho SalesIQ also offers you a set of features to help you assist customers faster and efficiently. They are:
Canned Responses
A Canned response is a pre-defined message template that you can use to reply to commonly asked customer questions or messages. For example, you can create a canned response to ask your customer to share their invoice number for which they’re facing a payment issue.
You can create many such canned responses from SalesIQ’s settings to help you reply to your customers faster.
Zobot
Zobot is Zoho SalesIQ’s conversational AI assistant. They can be used to send automated replies to customers when you’re busy and are not able to reply to customers instantly. For example, you can configure the Zobot to send help document links automatically if your customers ask for them.
Track Online Visitors
In Zoho SalesIQ, in the Visitors Online section, you can track customers based on the time they spend in your Client Portal. This could help you identify customers who have been spending more time on the portal, and prioritize their chat requests accordingly.
