Connect messengers to a live chat

You can connect a live chat with instant messengers so that your customers can contact you any way they like. The operators will see all the messages in the same ELMA365 interface. All the chat history will be saved in the system.

If you connect instant messengers to a live chat, operators can even initiate a conversation with a customer or partner. Read more in the Initiate a session with an external user article.
