Successful, long-lasting business relationships are built on effective communication. In this ever-connected digital world, lagging behind in responses or losing out on essential touchpoints is simply not an option. In fact, it’s the quickest way to send prospects and clients alike into the arms of your competitors!
With all this in mind, Inbox Pro not only consolidates communication channels but also enhances the overall customer experience.
Inbox Pro: New Beta features and more to come
Though Inbox Pro's beta version is an exciting release on its own, there are a lot more features to come! These include an AI web chat widget next month, and Facebook and Instagram messaging integration early next year.
Let’s see what our Beta version is packing.
- Google Business Profile integration: One of the standout features is the seamless integration of messages sent from the "chat" button on clients' Google Business Profiles.
- Generous SMS inclusions: We've upgraded the number of included SMS messages. From the standard 100 messages per month, your clients can now enjoy almost unlimited** text exchanges.
- Centralized communications: With all conversations happening in one place, clients can now easily monitor and respond to communications, whether they come from Google or SMS.
**Why not fully unlimited? Some carriers limit the number of sent messages per day to 2000-3000! The more you know.
A glimpse into Inbox Pro
Adding Inbox Pro to your offerings is simple. Once activated, clients will notice enhanced features in their Business App, particularly within Inbox Messages. It’s all neatly placed, offering more capabilities without complicating the user experience.
