This makes a lot of sense. any plans to add LinkedIn messaging?
Dmitry Chistov
@parkerwoodward You are really first, who ask about LinkedIn ) We will think about that.
Trevor Hatfield
great idea, especially for some industries
Dmitry Chistov
@trevorhatfield Yes! In your opinion which exactly industries are?
Dmitry Matskevich
Wow. Need the solution for a long time. Thank you! how you gonna work with Whatsapp? As far as I know they are blocking any API
Dmitry Chistov
@dmitry_matskevich Thanks! In widget we just show to website visitor the WhatsApp number, so we don't have any connections with WhatsApp. And you are right - WA is blocking any unofficial API.

Strangely enough I'm writing this for the second time today... Telegram is missing. It's on a picture but not in widget config UI.
Vlad Arbatov
Oh that was already mentioned, sry.

Any plans for Twitter DM?
Dmitry Chistov
@alihassanm110 maybe, thanks for the idea. Probably Instagram will be useful too.

Usefull project.
Dmitry Chistov
@a_krasouski thanks a bunch!
Dmitry Dumik
That's awesome! how did you guys come up with this idea?
Dmitry Chistov
@ddumik Thank a lot! We've built a simple prototype with only Facebook Messenger supporting (http://msgus.io/) but we were asked about other messaging apps. So the new widget is an evolution of that idea.

Very cool. I needed my own little FB chat popup a while back and ended up employing the same FB Page plugin trick y'all did. http://projects.nathangathright....
Dmitry Chistov
@nathang Thanks, I saw your widget some time ago )

This is great if you have an international audience. I'm curious though how the SnapChat feature works. If I wanted to contact the site and I choose SnapChat as my support option then.... what happens?
Dmitry Chistov
@evankimbrell Just look at this screen

Any solution to not having to use your personal whats app number on your site? How do you make a business account or use a business phone line number instead?
Dmitry Chistov
@dielawn714 At the moment we just show any WhatsApp number which you set up in widget settings. Mostly it's a personal phone number using for business. So we do not provide any WhatsApp numbers.
