How Chatva works
A customer writes in a connected channel and the message appears in the shared inbox. An operator replies from the dashboard and the customer receives the answer in the original channel. Capabilities depend on the connection method: email forwarding receives incoming mail, while replying requires an IMAP mailbox connection.
- Inbox — all conversations with filters, assignment to operators and departments, tags and internal notes.
- Widget — a customizable site chat with quick replies, contact collection and quality ratings.
- Autoresponder — greeting, answers to common questions and handoff to a human.
- Team — roles (owner, admin, operator), departments and notifications.
- Analytics and export — customer ratings, response speed, conversation export.
