Smartsupp Updates

Do you prefer using a tablet to a computer or laptop at work? Good news! Smartsupp is now fully responsive for tablets in all browsers.

Of course, you can also use our mobile application, which is available for both Android and iOS.

By connecting Smartsupp events with Google Analytics you can analyze conversations better and constantly move your business forward.

Recently, there was an issue with Google Analytics, when some events were duplicated and sent twice. Now the issue is fixed so the following section in the Help center is correct .

Here is a brief summary of the features added in December 2020 and January 2021.

There are two new features in Smartsupp which you’ve been asking for. Both are connected to conversations.

If you miss a conversation, we will send you an e-mail notification about that. Cases, when the user opened a conversation and left the site without being unserved are considered missed.

You will see more conversation categories under the Opened tab. This will make your work smoother and your dashboard cleaner. Please, read our more detailed article in help.

Still confused? Contact us via the chat box in your dashboard and we’ll be happy to get in touch with you. Please note that customer service is included only in paid packages.

In the new version, you’ll see the source channel of every message. There are two new icons that will tell you. In the conversation list, you’ll immediately recognise the source of the last message in a conversation.

Red envelope icon indicates an email message. If you want to respond to this message and you have the user’s e-mail in Smartsupp database, you can choose to send a live chat reply (providing the user is still on your website) or an e-mail message.

Blue icon with Facebook Messenger logo indicates a message that was sent to you from Facebook. If you reply, the message will be sent back to Facebook (available only for Beta users).

With these icons, you will have a better overview and be able to decide which conversation has a higher priority. Our experience shows that people do not expect e-mails to be answered as quickly as live chat or Facebook messages.

We constantly improve Smartsupp using your feedback but, sometimes the change isn’t so obvious and you only find it after exploring the product yourself. We prepared an overview of all the new features, so that you do not have to play Indiana Jones finding them yourself :)
