Qiscus Omnichannel Widget is one of the latest new features launched at the annual Qiscus conference, Conversa. This comes after a re-branding of its existing multichannel dashboard to become the Qiscus Omnichannel Chat. The omnichannel widget feature is one of the main features on the dashboard.
The Qiscus Omnichannel Widget is a channel widget that can be installed on any business-owned website. This widget can be linked to various types of channels owned by the business or brand. Using the widget will help businesses feature what channels they are available on and will help potential customers search for the business or brand’s official channels.
With the widespread use of many digital channels among consumers today, there are endless opportunities for businesses to be present and accessible on these channels. It is thus important for businesses to ensure that their channels can be reached by all target audiences.
Meanwhile, the audience certainly has different preferences of which channel to use. For example, audience A may prefer to access a brand’s official Instagram account before deciding to contact the business via WhatsApp. Meanwhile, audience B might prefer directly contacting businesses via Twitter accounts. Understanding the diverse practices and habits of consumers is the impetus behind releasing our new widget omnichannel feature.
The Qiscus Omnichannel Widget feature is perfect for use by businesses and brands with the following criteria:
- The business or brand already has a professional official website
- Businesses have more than one channel devoted to customer support, sales, and marketing needs
- Businesses require a widget to feature all the channels they are available on
Because this omnichannel widget is a feature of the Qiscus Omnichannel Chat, businesses do not require a long process to begin using it. The full tutorial will be explained below.
