Freschat Profil Picture

Why is it that in every screenshot of a release note, we can see the contact’s profile picture showing up in the conversation tab, but the Freshchat support team told me that—even if I add a picture to my contact—it will never appear in the conversation tab? So, who’s wrong: the release note screenshots or the customer support team? 🤔

Customizing UIs in Freshchat Flutter SDK

Recently I tried using the Freshchat’s Flutter SDK on my project. Looking at the documentation; there is this method to load the topics (Conversations) by calling `Freshchat.showConversations();` but this loads a default UI. I want to have my own UI for this along with the conversation when a topic is tapped.I’m thinking of using the API to achieve this but still looking for simpler ways.Using API, I can load the topics/Channels but not sure how to load the messages from agent and requester once the topic(Channel) is tapped.

How did SuprDaily uses Freshchat's WhatsApp solution to deliver daily essentials to 70,000 customers

What's SuprDaily?SuprDaily is a subscription-based delivery company for milk, daily essentials like bread and eggs, and groceries. It helps people to manage their grocery needs easily from their smartphones. Founded in 2015, the brand has grown rapidly to serve thousands of users. SuprDaily has since been acquired by Swiggy (India’s largest food delivery service provider) and currently operates in 6 cities. What issues did they face? As the user base and demand for SuprDaily’s service grew 10x from a modest 5000 - 7000 deliveries daily, it became more and more impractical to support customers without a robust system in place. Customers could reach out to support via WhatsApp and a helpline number.How did Freshchat and bots solve these issues for them?SuprDaily’s support team has rapidly scaled from using a single agent WhatsApp interface to a 50+ agent team on Freshchat, managing a major chunk of the overall support volume across channels.Today, in lockdown, one of the ways that Supr m

Bug? Icons appear as weird symbols on web

Hey, I’m having a problem with displaying icons as correct content. When I inspect the icons it appears as this in CSS file: .icon-ic_close:before { . content: "ï„‰"; } Instead of this:.icon-ic_close:before { content: ""; } I’ve read that this might be an @charset “UTF-8” issue, but from our side, the UTF-8 is set.Any ideas would be appreciated

Message Delivery Issue in Freshchat's Web Interface - Your Input Needed!

Dear Freshchat Community,I am writing to bring attention to a critical issue that seems to be affecting some of us while using Freshchat's web interface. In a previous thread, I received a response from "thebangaloredhaba," who confirmed that they have encountered the same problem with messages not showing up in the Freshchat web gadget.This discovery was quite surprising, as the Freshchat team had initially mentioned that they hadn't received similar reports from other customers 🤔. It's essential for all of us to be aware of the scope of this issue and to come together as a community to find a resolution.We are reaching out to every member of this community to ask: Have you experienced any challenges with messages not being delivered to customers via Freshchat's web chat? If so, we want to hear from you. Your input and experiences are crucial in identifying the root cause of this problem and collaborating on potential solutions.Please take a moment to share your insights, whether you

Can the Messaging FAQs and categories be served as a searchable webpage in my site?

If we populate the Fresh Messaging FAQs can these articles be made available as a searchable webpage in my site (separate to chat icon -- which people may prefer not to explore until they have a specific desire for chat)?Additionally, this would also allow us to reference these articles in emails.
