What is SMS Chat?
A customer can request direct 2-way chat via SMS / text message as part of their feedback. The business can now engage in a conversation with the customer in real-time, at the location on their terms.
Why is it Important?
For the customer – a text chat means an immediate discussion or request in person, without delay and using a convenient device. For the business, this function increases the engagement with the customer across a wide range of new use cases. General help desk, emergency contact, food ordering and customer service can also use 2-way chat like this.
