Will be happy to have you on-board Let us know if you need any help with Chatwoot setup.

happy to have you onboard !!

You could sponsor us on https://github.com/sponsors/chatwoot

In our case, open-sourcing Chatwoot was pretty accidental.

You could read the story behind how we ended up doing that over here

We will definitely take a look if there is enough community interest. Feel free to raise issues on our Github if you have feature requests.

The community edition remains a core part of our vision and is also the base on which the enterprise features are build. So rest assured that we will keep working on improving them.

Right now Chatwoot is suited primarily for support and sales use cases where its one on one conversations with the customer.

But we do have our eyes on marketing use cases(campaigns) in our future roadmap.

What we have seen is some customers prefer chat buttons especially when they prefer not to give out their personal information.

In Chatwoot the channels like email, twitter, Whatsapp etc are also considered primary conversation channels. So its helpful even when your primary support channel isn't chat.

That correct. The code can't considered open but rather source available.

We have sms channel available via Twilio. Discord / Zapier are integrations are there on our roadmap.

We do have a hosted offering available on https://app.chatwoot.com/

With Chatwoot being opensource, you will be able to customise and deliver a very tailor made experience for your organisation. Thats one aspect to consider.

Glad to hear you are happy with Chatwoot :) Do let us know if you need any help, anytime !!!

thanks a lot :)

Do let us know if you need any help in setting up Chatwoot.

That is correct. Our email channel is an implementation build on top of Rails Action mail box.

It support ingresses for Mailgun, Mandrill, Postmark, and SendGrid. You can also handle inbound mails directly via the Exim, Postfix, and Qmail ingresses

Totally get your concern about "Alternative". In terms of the scope of features, we are still behind many of the current market offerings. But we will be making some steady progress over the new couple of months.

Meanwhile, we are updating the website & repo with feature comparison and an in-progress roadmap. It should be up in a day or two

Chatwoot Co-Founder here: We are still working on email support. The feature is halfway done. It should be ready by the end of this month.
