In the market for something similar right now. Looks great! Does the chat service offer HIPAA-compliance? (Because this would be for a healthcare company.)

@toddgreene1 Our software wasn't built to collect manage or process PHI so we can't work with customers who require HIPPA compliance. You can read about our privacy practices here. https://legal.hubspot.com/privac... and our GDPR compliance here https://www.hubspot.com/data-pri... - but HIPPA is outside of our scope. Sorry!

Makes sense to be able to talk to people across multiple channels and share those conversations with internal teams.

Pros:

Genuinely useful new functionality.

Cons:

None

Nice! It was easy to get up and running, and I like that it's already integrated into the mobile app. Linking my HubSpot CRM with this seems like a logical choice. I also like how easy it is to customize (and preview) the look! A couple things I noticed: it requires the script to be at the body end, versus the head. A lot of CMSs (including the tool I'm using) only give the option to inject a script into the head - including a chunk of my site - and switching that might be something to look into (I ended up going back to Drift solely because of this). I'd also look at having a smaller window pop up when the user clicks on the chat button, as it could overwhelm them a bit, especially on mobile. Anyways, keep up the great work!

Is that a Drift competitor?

It's strange that you guys don't have live chat on a live chat product? My team has been trying to get some help for 3 days, yet every time it says "your APAC team is closed Aug 8 and Aug 9" even though it's Aug 10 now.

Really simple to use, works on the free plan, paid plans can remove HubSpot branding and connect to a few others tools.

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Could have a few extra customisations like delay timers and appearance fine tuning but nothing that would prevent you from using it.

Carly Farlow
Yes! Agree with you completely. Delay timers would be a game changer.

The chat must begin with text, then the bot automatically begins with message. So I set up to say 'hello' from the chat, then bot asks the first question. But for a free chat, this is legit and I'm excited to see the leads come in!

Pros:

Love having a free version of chat! It was pretty easy to setup as well.

Cons:

Just had one small hitch when setting up - not being able to delay the bot.

I don't know if is too late for a comment, but this is wonderful. Since you began how has the product evolve form the original launch?
