What is Social Intents' Live Chat for WordPress
The WordPress Live Chat plugin by Social Intents allows businesses like yours to embed a live chat widget in their WordPress website, and chat with customers directly from the collaboration tools they already use: Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Slack, Zoom, and Webex.
Why use live chat on a WordPress site?
Engage and assist website visitors
As visitors browse your site, they come across challenges and questions they need answers to. The live chat support option allows you to assist them in real-time, engage them, and convert them into potential customers.
Boost customer satisfaction
Today’s customers expect instant support. They no longer want to submit support tickets, and face long waiting times before they receive a reply. Instead, customers want to have engaging conversations with a brand and get help here and now.
Offering a live chat solution on your WordPress site allows you to boost customer satisfaction, increase sales, and generate loyal fans.

I'm not seeing chat messages in Slack?
If you've chosen a Private channel when setting up the integration or changed the default Authorization scopes, we won't be able to send messages to Slack. Either use a Public channel when setting up the integration, or invite our Chat Bot to your Private channel.
