Cubic Zirconia CZ review for Shopify Inbox
Aug. 10, 2022
We used this app for a few months and found some serious limitations. One, it's not possible to search for or within conversations. That means you could have a conversation with a customer and not be able to find it unless you scroll through all conversations and find it manually. Or worse, if you have multiple chats from the same customer, you have to re-read all of them until you find the specific conversation piece you're looking for to confirm that you say the same thing again. Using the Shopify Inbox app through a mobile phone doesn't let you type more than a few lines before you lose the "send" button and can't send the message. We found a work-around (type the message, then close the chat, then re-open the chat to see the send button) but it's really clunky and not well thought through. Lastly, when we remove the app we'll have no record of any chat conversations because the chat transcripts were never emailed to our email inbox as promised. That's a complete fail that really limits the ongoing use.
We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and write your review so that you could share some of the pain points you've had with Shopify Inbox thus far. I can certainly see why a lack of a search function makes browsing your conversations difficult, and why not being able to type longer messages on mobile before losing the "send" button is far from ideal. Our development team welcome feedback from merchants and I will be sure to pass on all of your suggestions to them for their perusal. Thank you for getting in touch. -Victor, Shopify Support
