The problem

Customers switched channels. Your team switched tabs.

One person asks on Instagram, follows up by email and chases on WhatsApp. Three apps, three logins, nobody sure who's answering. Chatyst turns that into one queue with one owner per conversation.

  • One queue, every channel. A message is a message, wherever it started.
  • One owner per conversation. Assigned, visible, and never answered twice.
  • One customer record. The Instagram DM and the email thread belong to the same person.

Live chat widget

Your website, answering back.

Drop one snippet on your site and visitors can chat, find help center answers and reach a person. Open the bubble and try it. It really replies.

  • Bot first, human when it matters. A bot greets, suggests an article and hands over with the whole thread.
  • Your brand, not ours. Colours, greeting, avatars and business hours are all yours.
  • Knows who's asking. Pass the signed-in user and their plan, and agents see it instantly.

Tomás SilvaEmail · new conversation

I'd like a refund for order #4821. It arrived broken.

  1. Pick a message or edit the rule, then send a test.

Assignment

Fair load. Nobody buried.

Hand out conversations in turn, or by who has the most room. Agents who go busy or offline stop receiving new work, and nothing waits unowned.

  • Round robin or capacity. Choose per inbox and switch any time.
  • Limits per agent. Cap how many open conversations anyone holds.
  • Presence-aware. Busy and offline agents are skipped automatically.

Absolutely. A replacement ships today.

Brilliant, thank you!

The best reply is the one nobody had to write.

Publish a searchable knowledge base on your own domain. Customers find answers themselves, and the widget suggests articles before a ticket is ever opened.

  • Instant search. Type in the portal on the left. Results update on every keystroke.
  • Multilingual. Publish each article in the languages your customers speak.
  • Linked to the inbox. Agents drop articles into replies, and the bot suggests them in chat.

The difference

Six apps and a spreadsheet
versus one inbox.

Every extra tool adds a login, another place to check and one more gap a customer can fall through. Chatyst puts every conversation, and everyone who answers them, in one place.

Security and control

Customer conversations are customer data.

Treat them that way. Chatyst gives you clear access rules, a record of every change, encryption throughout and backups you can actually restore.

Single sign-on and 2FA

Agents sign in with your company identity provider, and two-factor authentication protects every other login.

Inbox-level access

Agents only see the inboxes they belong to. Administrators manage channels, rules and people.

Every change on record

Assignments, labels, status changes and resolutions are written into the conversation with who and when.

Retention and export

Keep history as long as you need, export it whenever you like, or delete a contact and their conversations when a customer asks.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Messages, attachments and contact details are encrypted on the wire and in storage, on every channel.

Backups you can restore

Nightly backups are verified by restoring them, not just by counting files.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Anything else, ask us. A person from the Chatyst team will answer, in a Chatyst inbox.

How long does it take to get started?

Most teams are answering customers in Chatyst within a day. We connect your first channels with you, import contacts, set up teams and inboxes, and write canned responses for your most common questions. More channels can follow one at a time.

Which channels can we connect?

Website live chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, SMS, Line and an API channel for anything else. Each one becomes an inbox, and every inbox lands in the same shared view.

Who can see which conversations?

Access is set per inbox. Agents see only the inboxes they belong to, administrators manage channels, rules and people, and every assignment, label and status change is recorded in the conversation with who made it and when.

How does pricing work if it isn't per agent?

Pricing isn't per seat. Adding the twentieth agent, a seasonal team or a part-time helper costs nothing extra. Ask us for a quote.

Do we need a WhatsApp Business account?

Yes. WhatsApp connects through Meta's Cloud API with a business account and number that you own. We set the connection up with you and it stays in your name if you ever move.

Can we move over from our current helpdesk?

Contacts, and in most cases conversation history, can be brought across from exports or APIs. We plan the move with you, run both side by side, and switch channels over one at a time.

How does the AI assist work?

Reply suggestions, summaries and tone fixes are optional. You connect the model provider you prefer with your own key, or leave it off. Nothing is sent to a model unless you switch it on.

Can agents reply from their phones?

Yes. The Chatyst apps for iOS and Android give agents notifications and let them reply, assign and resolve on the go.

Is there an API?

Yes. A REST API and webhooks cover conversations, contacts, messages and reports. An API channel brings in any source we don't connect out of the box, and agent bots can join conversations through the same API.

Every customer, heard. Every reply, on time.

Open Chatyst, connect your first channel and watch the conversations land in one inbox your whole team can share.
