Shopify Inbox

Hi - we started using Shopify inbox as we wanted a chat option with our customers. It works well, a lot of the replies are delivered by email rather than on the chat, and this is because we have missed the notification and the customer has moved off the site and is no longer online.
Notifications are not send to the mail address that has shopify open, which means we often miss that a message has arrived. PCs can chime a lot especially when your phone is connected to the PC like mine is. I would like more control over the notifications to push a notification to an email address, regardless of whether that email address is currently logged into Shopify. Overall though it is a good app

Just recently started using the chat feature, I like how its fast and efficient way to connect with customers whereas they were sending us emails. Easier to communicate via a real time chat.

I use the app to reply to message. I like getting the notifications when I have a message. I do not like that I have to hold the swift key to go to a second live in a message because when I hit enter, it automatically sends the message.

It would be better if we did not have to login every-time. Once we are in Shopify Admin we should be able to open the inbox caller to respond.

This app helps with customer enquiries anytime of the day. Very useful. It will help if the app can real time indicate another user in the store is typing/ drafting the message. This is to avoid duplicate replies from different users.

It seems to be a really good way to engage with customers and I love the fact that if you miss their question, you can actually email an answer to them.

I love it because I can do it with my mobile phone and have it on my desktop.
Saved five sales the first day.

The app is okay. If you are a small team its great. If you have more staff this app does not have enough user controls or logs to support an actual team as of yet. The app will send out notifications to ALL staff members on your store no matter what. You as the master user / owner have no control to limit notifications, which means any user on your store (no matter permissions set) will get a notification about a chat. Also there are no logs of these emails being sent to staff members. I talked with Shopify support and they told me that each user would need to click an opt-out at the bottom of the first notification they receive, but since (as the master user) I would have no log of this happening it would create a bit of a security flaw. Until proper user permissions, that are controlled by the master user are set in place I will not be able to use this app. I really hope this is updated because this app has a lot of promise. Other chat apps currently have more robust options and permission settings and I would recommend using them until updates.

It works perfectly for our store. I definitely recommend it. Easy to install and use it can help you communicate with your customers.

Garbage garbage garbage. How can a $6 billion company have such a junk app. Constantly says disconnected. Constantly says message send failed. Messages disappear to nowhere with no way to look at them later. No way to click the customers name and see their orders. No way to copy their name or email to paste into shopify. It's just crazy. So why use it? There is no upside.
