ActiveCampaign introduced an additional multichannel communications tool this week. With Activecampaign Conversations marketers can engage with customers in real-time and capture those conversations right in ActiveCampaign.
This fits in with a larger trend of conversational marketing and real-time site interactions. There are a lot of companies now haveing a chat functionality on their site, as it engages visitors and personally guided answers to questions they might have. There are many great examples of chatbots as well, that would take care of the start of a conversation or even entirely.
With live chat, email, and a unified inbox connected to your ActiveCampaign account every conversation is saved. It’s connected to the main ActiveCampaign database, making it easy to combine automation with live chat to automatically create deals, add tags, and send follow up messages to new contacts that come from live chat.
