Product Designer Commentary:

Hello, I'm Rita, a Product Designer at Channel Talk!

Until now, call-related data could only be viewed by downloading user chat raw data, making it difficult for admins to track the status of phone calls. To reduce this inconvenience, we've launched the call statistics feature. Now, you can easily view call volume and call status by period and phone number directly from the call statistics screen!

PS. We’re also preparing a feature for real-time call monitoring that will notify you when your answer rate falls below the target, so stay tuned!

AI Chat Summary Features Saves Post-Processing Time

When you end or snooze a chat, AI automatically summarizes the conversation and saves it as an internal message. This makes it easier to track chat history and saves time on post-processing.

The summarized content is also available for download as part of the chat statistics, and you can customize the summary format to your liking. The chat summary feature is available at no extra cost with the paid plans, so make sure to take advantage of it!

  • How to access: [AI] - [AI Add-ons] - [Chat summary]

Use Case

Case #1 | Quick Chat Monitoring

  • Instead of reviewing the entire chat, you can download the chat statistics and monitor the summarized content at a glance in the 'Summary (Chat Summary)' column of the 'UserChat data' sheet.

Previously, when sharing an article link with a customer or clicking on an article referenced by ALF, the article would open in a new window, causing customers to leave the site. Now, articles can be viewed seamlessly within the Channel Talk interface, allowing customers to stay on your site without disruption.

Use Case

Case #1 | Customers Can View Articles and Website Simultaneously

  • You can share an article link (or link button) with customers, and they can view the article without leaving your website. This update will be applied to all channels automatically starting February 21, 2025.

You can now modify the trigger of an existing workflow. Use this feature to significantly reduce workflow setup time!

Use Case

Case #1 | Chatbot Workflow in External Messengers
