CRM feature

Chat that becomes a text thread

Traditional live chat dies the moment the visitor closes the tab. This widget takes a name and a mobile number first, so the conversation continues by SMS whether or not anyone was at a desk.
  • Capture before conversation
  • Continues over SMS
  • After-hours friendly
  • AI answering optional
Website chat — scripted example
  • Hi! Are you looking for an estimate or scheduling service?
  • An estimate
  • Great. What's the best mobile number so we can keep this going by text?
Type a message
Illustrative conversation — not a real customer

Capability

What the widget does

  • Name and mobile captured before the conversation starts
  • Reply by SMS from the shared inbox
  • Customisable greeting by page or service
  • Business-hours and after-hours messaging
  • Consent language and opt-out handling
  • Contact record created automatically with source tagged
  • Optional AI chat agent to answer and qualify first
  • Mobile-friendly and keyboard accessible

No one waits on hold

The visitor gets an answer and goes back to their day; the thread stays open on their phone.

Fewer abandoned enquiries

A closed tab no longer means a lost lead, because you have a number.

One place to answer

Chat lands in the same inbox as email, SMS and Facebook messages.

Limits and honest caveats

  • Requires a business number, which carries a monthly platform charge
  • SMS continuation depends on the visitor giving a real mobile number
  • High-volume texting requires carrier registration first
  • An AI chat agent is a separate subscription, not included with the widget
