Other Incredible txt.me Features

Option for Customer Callbacks

With txt.me, your customers can request to switch to phone call conversations instead of chat by requesting a callback. Aside from allowing you to grow your phone leads, you’re also giving your customers the support they want, in the way that they want it.

Offline Communications

txt.me is an omnichannel customer support platform, meaning that you can stay in touch with your website visitors, even if they’re not at their computers. And, instead of starting new threads on different platforms, your agents and customers can pick up just where they left off from the device and application that they prefer.

Email Integration

Give your agents the tools they need to be as effective as possible by integrating incoming emails into existing conversations. txt.me ensures that your agents don’t have to jump between communication channels to stay in the loop. Now they can see all messages and emails in every channel used.

With txt.me, agents can send attachments to help customers find resolution, regardless of the channel they’re using. Whether your agents send attachments via live chat, email, or App, your customers can open them from their preferred devices and applications.

Resolve Issues With Screenshots

A picture is worth a thousand words – and that applies to customer support too! Agents can now send specific instructions to customers with in-app screenshots. Now, with txt.me, customers can find quick and clear resolution to their issues by following specific screenshot instructions.

Agent Admin Panel Features
