Only thing i wish you could do is archive the messages or have something to clear them after you have replied
Hey, there! Thanks so much for this feedback. While archiving messages is not currently available on the desktop version of the app, you can actually do this using the mobile version. You can find out more information on how to do this here: https://bit.ly/3HZv7po under "manage conversation status". Hope that helps! - Brie, Shopify Support
De momento cumple las expectativas básicas y eso está bien. Nos gustaría que en el futuro incluyan el manejo de horarios, de forma tal que tras establecer un horario laboral se pueda enviar un mensaje de ausencia (tienen algo similar implementado, pero no se maneja con horarios). Deberían eliminar o al menos dar la opción de poder desactivarlo/activarlo a demanda, la parte de que el chat registre en la web de forma automática al prospecto que conversa por primera vez dando su nombre, apellido y correo. Eso termina creando conflictos porque el cliente no sabe que se ha registrado y cuando ya lo intenta, no sabe su contraseña ni ha recibido un correo de invitación.
I use this app to communicate with my customers and so far this is the best app I have used for this purpose.
I'm delighted to hear that you've found Shopify Inbox to be an efficient way of staying in touch with your customers, which is a great way to facilitate sales and earn repeat purchases from your clients! Thank you for taking the time to write your review and I hope the app continues to be of use to you and your business. -Victor, Shopify Support
Need on Desktop: Ability to search chats (a must) Relabel chat headings (this was there before but can't find it now?). Super handy to be able to add a customer name or note there. Save images with an extension, have to rename them every time right now to open them. Bulk manage chats (archive etc) Expire old chats after xxx days Also need to be able to sent the chat to the customer in Email afterwards like Shopify support does. Thanks
Thank you for writing your review and for providing us with some suggestions here. I can see why all of the changes you've suggested would be helpful and I'll be sure to pass these on to our app development team. -Victor, Shopify Support
We previously used Tidio as a live chat feature on our website however, learning Shopify offered a live chat addition without an extra fee we though we'd give it a go. Features-wise it offers us nearly everything we previously used with Tidio however, the feature I miss most is the search function. Messages from customers are still held within the system after the customer is no longer active however, should you need to contact that customer regarding something you have to scroll through (in our case) hundred of messages to locate that same customer. As time goes on and more messages are received this only becomes worse however, its really not the end of the world. The positives far out-weight the negatives in this case!
Hey, there! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review for Shopify Inbox! Any feedback for Inbox is always appreciated. It's great to hear that the app has been fitting the bill for most of your needs! Your request for a 'search' function is a great idea, and actually something people have brought to us before. I'm going to pass along this feedback to our Development Team so they can look into building this functionality in the future. A temporary solution to consider is using the Crtl+f function on your page with your conversations, as it may be able to help you find those older conversations quickly. Let us know if you have any additional feedback for us! -Imogen, Shopify Support
Search function is desperately needed for looking back old conversation. or letting us to rename the conversation will be great.
This is a great suggestion and I can see why being able to search, rename, and filter conversations would make Shopify Inbox easier to use. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us here and I'll be sure to pass your comments onto our development team for them to review. -Victor, Shopify Support
Easy and very helpful, many customers contact us before buying. They realize that there are real people who can do a real consulting, helps them a lot with their decision.
Thank you for writing your review and I'm delighted to hear that customers are using the app to regularly get in touch with you! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us here. -Victor, Shopify Support
Good APP. There are suggestion that I can read the picture on inbox from facebook or meta. Please show the picture in Inbox, thanks.
Hey there, ecowitt! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for Shopify Inbox! Your suggestion of having an image attached to messages coming in from Facebook/Meta is a great one, and one I'll absolutely swing by our product development team so they can consider implementing that feature in the future. Thanks so much for the feedback! If you need any further assistance, just let us know! -Imogen, Shopify Support.
Guter Anlaufpunkt für Kunden :) Kommen viele Anfragen darüber rein. Noch besser wäre es wenn man noch mehr automatische Nachrichten nutzen könnte.
Great feature for customers to be able to chat easily and we can see exactly what product page they're on to assist them easily.
Hey, Queen B! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review; I'm so glad you're enjoying the app. Cheers! - Brie, Shopify Support
Very easy to use, you can receive customer information in a timely manner, and customers can chat with me without registering. And it's free, I would recommend it to my friends.
Hi, there! I'm glad to hear the app has helped you connect with your customers and that your experience has been positive. Thanks for the feedback! - Brie, Shopify Support
We used this app for our shop Supply Carton Boxes and Packaging Materials in Singapore https://www.cartonbox.sg . This App helps us very well to communicate with customers
Thank you for your kind review! So glad to hear you're loving the app so far. - Brie, Shopify Support
The app has helped us easily communicate with customers which in turn has increased our sales. The only thing I've noticed is it goes down once in awhile and I need to re-signin. Overall - it's been great.
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the app overall. If you continue experience issues with it, feel free to contact our support team and they'd be happy to do some troubleshooting with you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. Cheers! - Brie, Shopify Support
Very useful tool to provide online assistance to customers. More great improvements added all the time! Awesome.
Thank you for taking time to leave this review, and also provide this feedback suggestion. I will be passing this suggestion onto our dev team. Thank you! -Ivy, Shopify Support
App is simple enough. No fancy features like Tawk.to and its ok. However design is terrible. Pop-up window's top part goes out of screen on small desktop screens/resolutions. Also chat icon has too much margin. It is located far away from corner of mobile screen. It should be just pixels away from edges but right now it is too far away.
We appreciate you writing your review and sharing your feedback with us here. I can certainly understand why you are not a fan of some of the design features you have mentioned, and I will be sure to pass your comments onto our development team for them to consider. Thank you for getting in touch. -Victor, Shopify Support
When I am off line, I could not receive messages that my customers send via chat widget, because all messages go to my collaborator's email, my email address set in the contact information does not work, I hire him to custom my store but now he is the one seeing the messages send from my customer when I off line, that is ridiculous.
Thank you for reaching out and for letting us know that you're having this problem. It sounds like there may be an issue with your staff permissions, which will have an effect on who receives notifications from the Shopify Inbox app. I would recommend reaching out to our support team directly so we can authenticate you on the store and take a closer look at this for you: https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA. -Victor, Shopify Support
I like the application. Very intuitive and the ability to reply quickly from the mobile app is great. I wish it was possible to show the staff avatar in Shopify Inbox on the front end. Right now, when a staff is answering, only the message is showing, not his name, neither his avatar.
I'm glad to hear that you've found the app intuitive to use and helpful for your business! I'll be sure to pass on your comments regarding the staff avatars to our app development team as I can see why making the changes you've suggested would be helpful. Thank you for getting in touch. -Victor, Shopify Support
There are a lot of negative reviews about this app, but I've been using it for a couple of years and really like it. It has improved a lot over that period. It used to be that messages could get lost, but that's not the case anymore. You can see if a customer is still online and if they're not the replies are sent by email. IOS users get the replies via Apple Chat (if you set that up). Ideally, I'd like the option to be able to hide the icon and instead link to chat, e.g. from a contact-us page or in a menu, but otherwise it works for us. Great app for no additional cost.
Thank you for providing your review and for letting us know how you were finding Shopify Inbox, and I'm delighted to hear that it's been of use to you! I can appreciate why hiding the icon would be better for you and I will pass that information on to our development team. Thanks again and we greatly appreciate your feedback. -Victor, Shopify Support
The chat is injecting a (1) that affects the SEO on the Google Search Results. Update sitemap does not solve the problem either. Had to uninstall the app just beacuse of this very reason. If you (shopify dev-team) are going to make apps at all, please make some dedication and check the other alternatives and beta-test before release. Please make the necessary tweaks, bugfix and fix all these issues and the app will have great potential im sure! Got this message from the Shopify Support regarding this matter: "The matter that you mentioned is a known limitation and is coming from Google reading the site title after the inbox app sends the first message. What you can do to fix this is resubmit your sitemap to Google and the title will be updated. To do this, please review and follow the Shopify Help Document on Finding and Submitting your Sitemap. Once you have the sitemap, you can head over to Google search console, login, and resubmit this to them. It will ask Google to re-scan your site and this title error on Google will disappear once they have done this." This is only a fix short-term, the only long-term fix is for the dev-team to fix this issue and then make an app-update. Other chat-apps does not experiance this, so it should be an easy fix for the dev-team. I also have some wishes of functions to the Dev-team: - The function to see what the customer is typing before its sent. - See what pages, ip adress, last url visited, live-url, and country etc the user is typing from. - Add more customization to the chat in terms of how it looks, colours, branding, etc. - Function to have the chat appear in different ways in mobile and desktop. - Function to have the chat only appear on example the /contact page only. And not on all pages as of today. - At the end of the chat, enable the function for the visitor to rate the conversation with 0 - 5 stars. Please look at your competitors and make the features even better than them, if anyone you have the capacity to do it, im sure!
Hey, there. Thank you for reaching out about this. Our developers have deployed a fix to resolve this issue. However, it could take some time for Google to recrawl your page in order to reflect the changes. If you'd like to request Google to recrawl your page manually, you can follow the steps here: https://bit.ly/3HUjHT9. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
I would give 5 starts but there is a major issue with with Google robots and SERPS. The app is injecting a "(1)" at the beginning of the page tiles to signify the number of messages. This shows up on search engine results pages. Resubmitting the sitemap doesn't fix the issue. Either remove that injection or code it in a way so it is invisible to Google robots. Thank you!
Hey, there. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our developers have been made aware of this issue and a fix has been deployed to fix this. It worth noting that it is likely that you'll need to wait for Google to recrawl your website in order to see this resolved. If you'd like to request a recrawl manually, please take a look at the process here: https://bit.ly/3HUjHT9. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support
