Chatra — Live Chat & Chatbot

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that Chatra did not fully meet your expectations. We’ve already discussed this with you directly, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify it publicly for anyone considering Chatra. Chatra does not generate website traffic on its own, it simply interacts with visitors who are already arriving on your website. Bots, crawlers, and automated traffic reach a site independently of Chatra, just as they would with contact forms, analytics tools, or page views. Chatra includes a simple and fully reversible ban option, which many of our users successfully use to manage unwanted conversations. In addition, we automatically filter out obvious bot activity whenever clear bot signals are detected. However, many modern bots, including AI crawlers and advanced scripts, are specifically designed to closely mimic real human behavior. From a chat widget’s perspective, such traffic is indistinguishable from real visitors. Because of this, aggressively blocking at the chat level would inevitably risk blocking real users as well. For that reason, managing bot traffic is handled at the website or infrastructure level using tools such as firewalls, bot protection, rate limiting, or CDN services (for example, Cloudflare, Akamai, or AWS WAF). This is the standard approach across the industry and applies to all chat solutions, not just Chatra. That said, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback has been shared with our entire team and will be carefully reviewed as we continue to evaluate and improve Chatra in future updates. We wish you all the best moving forward.
