Installing the Message Media with Freshchat integration adds 2-way SMS functionality to your live chat environment so you can send and receive SMS messages natively in Freshchat. This gives customers one more possible way to reach out and connect with your business, reducing barriers in customer communications.
When customers send a message to your Message Media number, it either creates a new message thread on Freshchat or updates an existing one.
The Message Media app supports multiple phone numbers as well, each of which can be assigned to groups of agents responsible for a particular kind of customer query. When a message is received, it is automatically routed to the concerned group of agents, increasing efficiencies in the customer service department.
Plus, the Message Media app also lets agents proactively initiate a conversation with customers instead of just replying to messages received.
By adding an SMS communication channel to Freshchat, you can improve customer loyalty, reduce friction in customer service, and make customers feel more comfortable when talking to agents.
