Let’s review each layer…

Multi-Channel Messaging

image

SMS: Send and receive messages through your existing office phone lines. You can have two-way conversations or send one-way mass messages to thousands of contacts simultaneously using Broadcasts.

Live Chat: Incorporate a chat widget into your website to interact with visitors. Once a visitor reaches your website, the chatbot can prompt them for their name, email, phone number, and any other questions you would like to include. Then, they would connect to a Channel (department) and depending on which of your representatives are online, they would start chatting one-on-one. If no one is available to chat, you can set up offline automation which can be as simple as capturing their email and a message, or redirecting the visitor to a self help flow.

Facebook Messenger: Link your social account to enable your team to respond to queries from your Facebook Page. This frees you up from needing to invite staff members from within Facebook to join your Page.

With these 3 main channels of chat communications routed to Alive5, you now have one streamlined inbox and one app for your team to use to chat with customers.

Automation & AI

Automation: Utilize a drag-and-drop conversation flow builder to construct customized customer journeys based on visitor interactions. This enables 24/7 lead capture, booking flows, and self-help automation.

Team Inbox

Team Inbox: Route customer requests to your human staff, which may span multiple departments with different skill sets. Create custom workflows for each department in your organization.

Choose from different type of (live chat) routing algorithms: Ring all, load balanced, or hunt mode.
