Chat Widget Combinations (Day/Night)

We find that many clients like to mix and match chat platforms depending on the time of day. Here are a few possible combinations:
#1 - Texting/Chatbot
  • Low cost
  • More direct control
  • Afterhours scheduling via the Chat Bot
#2 - Texting/Live Chat
  • Medium cost
  • Less direct control
  • Afterhours Scheduling via the live chat greeters
  • People that text afterhours can be directed over to Live Chat (costly) or just told to call the phone number
#3 - Chatbot/Live Chat
  • Medium cost
  • Most chats during the day get routed to the office anyways
  • Afterhours scheduling via a live person
  • People that text afterhours can be directed over to Live Chat (costly) or just told to call the phone number
