Nope, English only.
I can barely understand any tech related things in my native language. Can't even explain my job in my native language. Used to having everything in English.
Agree. Spanish native speaker but most of the things related to technical stuff just use English.
I would expect this to be a part of WIP instead of something standalone.
But if they leave an email, they will get your reply in their inbox with Drift. They will not with Smallchat. That's why I would avoid it for any serious business.
With Smallchat, yeah, you have to email them thru your email client. Your reply within Slack doesn't get to them.
More of a hassle, imo, where you could just use Drift instead. That's a feature I would expect from an Intercom alternative. Had to find out the hard way on my own with #rayfeed that it doesn't work like that.
I hear ya. Smallchat did just what I needed, but it is limited. You do outgrow it quickly as your team/app grow.
Keep in mind Smallchat doesn't email your conversation or replies if the user closes the page. The only way to capture that lead is to reach out manually if they left an email address or wait for them to come back to the page on the same device with the same cookie.
partially true. Smallchat asks the user for email and name if you're not in Slack. You can have Slack email you. So, even though Smallchat doesnt email you, if you have slack notifications set up correctly, you still get the message, and if they've left an email, they'll get your reply. Not perfect, no, but very acceptable.

If the visitor closes the window on a Drift or Intercom convo, and they clear their cookies, and they didn't leave contact infos, and then they come back on a different device or with different cookies, same issue.

Got most of my personal tasks here in WIP. Things that need more elaborating (or notes for later) are in a Notion board.
