Five Oaks Farm review for Shopify Inbox
Jan. 5, 2025
It is a fantastic app that has enabled me to answer questions quickly for our customers. The interface is much like texting, and I do truly view it as an asset. Room for improvement: - It would be awesome if an audio reply option was added. - It would be nice if an auto reply feature was enabled, so I could say "Thanks for contacting us! If you don't get a reply right away, we will contact you via email shortly." or something along those lines. We are a small business, and don't have the ability to staff someone to reply immediately around the clock. - The auto AI response feature is frustrating. Every time I go to respond to a message, it never types the first word correctly because it is trying to come up with an AI response instead. If this feature could be a button to press to generate a response for those who want to use it, instead of it being the default, that would be so much better.
Thank you for your review, your suggestions will be shared with the product team. I just wanted to let you know that we do have an auto reply feature that may be what you're looking for. You can set it at admin.shopify.com. Select Inbox from the Sales channel list on the left sidebar > Available hours on the left sidebar below Inbox. From there you can set an Automated first reply and have it differ for when you are available vs not. The AI response feature can also be turned on/off in Inbox settings at inbox.shopify.com under Settings > Message preferences > Automatically generate a reply On/Off. Hope that helped! Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with any further questions. - Shopify Inbox team
