Live Chat in Jitbit Helpdesk

Jitbit Helpdesk now comes with built-in live chat, since January 2018. The "support widget" for websites now allows you to chat with your website visitor in realtime. Check out this short animated clip:

And this is how it works on the helpdesk team's side - you see a special "live" badge next to the "tickets" where you can chat with the user, bacuse he's still on the website.

It just works. You don't to do anything, the support widget you already have - now comes with the chat functionality built in.

Works across multiple website pages and even after a "refresh".

Keep in touch after a user leaves the website that's when the chat turns into a regular "email ticket" so you can followup afterwards.

Works for both "hosted" and "on-premise" versions of the helpdesk app.

Chat inside a ticket - support widget is not the only way, two people loo?ing at the same ticket in the helpdesk app can still chat with each other since the ticket page updates automatically.

Mobile app support - use the mobile app to chat with users on the go, check out some best practices.

We used to have a separate "live chat" product but we are sunsetting that now. We'll keep it for existing paying customers, but taking no new signups.

Chat features at a glance

  • Sound alerts, desktop notifications, push notifications - when someone sends you a message or starts a new chat - you hear a sound and see a notification in your system tray (tray notification requires HTML5-compatible browser)
  • Online agents tracking - the app tracks which of your agents are online and shows prompts to the user and other operators
  • Real-time performance - the chat app uses "Web-Sockets" - the latest web technology that supports full-duplex real-time communications.
