Algoreg Go!Chat is a ticketing system that allows you to communicate with your customers via email or chat. This tool is directly available from the other Algoreg tools, and allows you to communicate with your customers directly from the Algoreg platform. You can use Go!Chat with an email server, plug it to your own chat system using our APIs or embed the Algoreg Go!Chat end-user widget on your website.

​
Get started with Go!Chat

Once active, Go!Chat will be available from the side bar item “Inbox” under the “Go!Chat” section. The inbox works like a regular email inbox, with a list of conversations (called threads) and a conversation view containing messages. You will find on the image below the threads on the second left bar, and the messages view on the right.

Accessing Go!Chat

As mentioned above, Go!Chat is available from the side bar item “Inbox” under the “Go!Chat” section.

On this view, only threads related to the currently active customer will be shown.

General conception

​
Customers vs contacts

A customer is a person or a company as used everywhere in Algoreg. But a customer can have multiple contacts. Also a same contact can be linked to multiple customers. For this reason, each thread is attached first to one or many customers, then the following messages will be attached to a contact included in one of this customers. A message cannot be sent to a contact not present in the customers of the thread. But the customers of a thread can be changed at any time in the thread edition page.

​
Thread status

Go!Chat works like a support ticketing system. Each thread has a status that can be:
  • Open: the thread is open and waiting for a reply from an agent
  • Waiting: the thread is waiting for a reply from the customer
  • Reminder: the thread is waiting for a reply from the customer, and a reminder will be sent
  • Closed: the thread is closed and cannot be replied to
All threads follow the same lifecycle: they start as open, then they are waiting for a reply from the customer, and finally they are closed. The waiting status is configurable, an usual flow can be the following with 2 reminders and a 3 days delay between them: open -> reminder (1) -(send a reminder after 3 days)-> reminder (2) -(send a reminder after 3 days)-> waiting -(wait 3 days)-> open. This put the thread in a waiting state for 9 days, and then reopen it if no reply is received.
