TalkJS
Engage customers with customized chat windows, automate messages, track conversations, and measure performance with analytics.
What is TalkJS?
TalkJS is a customer messaging platform that lets you add chat windows to your website or app. It handles one-to-one and group conversations, letting you communicate directly with customers without requiring them to leave your site. The tool includes built-in features for automating responses, tracking message history, and reviewing performance metrics. It's designed for businesses that want to support customers through chat without building messaging infrastructure from scratch. You can customise the chat interface to match your brand, set up automated messages for common questions, and monitor conversation data to understand customer behaviour.
