## Description

In today’s fast-paced world, customers expect fast, reliable service. With so much
competition out there, failing to do so can result in decreased brand loyalty.

In the online world, live chat is often the most effective channel of communication.
According to eConsultancy:

> Live chat has the highest satisfaction levels for any customer service channel,
> with 73%, compared with 61% for email and 44% for phone.

Missive Chat is the perfect way to interact with visitors and users from your website
without creating additional silos of communication.

**Key Features**

 * **Backed by Twilio Chat – Pay as you go** Missive Chat works on top of Twilio’s
   Programmable Chat. To use Missive Chat, you first need to sign up for a Twilio
   account. The significant advantage of using your own Twilio account is you only
   pay for your metered usage. With less than 200 active chats per month, it is 
   free. For each additional one, you pay a low fee.
 * **One-to-many** One chat can be handled by one or many support employees, either
   simultaneously or at different times. Let’s say, for example, a customer wants
   to know why she hasn’t received a product she ordered through your website. A
   support employee takes the chat, but things turn sideways, and now the customer
   wants a refund. Instead of telling the customer that he will pass the request
   to the appropriate team, he @mentions the Finance team, they immediately get 
   access to the chat and refund the customer. The customer leaves happy with the
   swift response.
 * **Fits your branding** The chat widget is highly customizable. The chat’s floating
   button will live in harmony with your website’s look and feel.
 * **Se habla español, or any other language** Is your website not in English? No
   problem, you can change (or translate) the text of the widget to anything you
   want.
 * **Schedules** With Missive Chat, you can have an online / offline status based
   on your team’s presence in Missive or via a pre-defined schedule. You will never
   let a customer guessing whether you’re there to respond or not.
 * **File exchange** Both you and the user can easily attach images, PDFs, and other
   files in the chat. A screenshot is worth a thousand words 😉
