Functionality Overview

Outbound messages is a dedicated place where you can monitor your customers, manage their details, and initiate contact with them. It’s like a convenient, powerful mini CRM inside your LiveChat account!

Already Available

Automatically updated Customer List from ALL supported by LiveChat messaging platforms

The All Customers tab contains a list of all your customers along with associated data such as the channels they used to contact you, their email addresses, countries, cities, the number of chats they had with you, and the day of the last contact you had with them.

Editing customer data

There you can edit their record. What’s crucial about this tab is that changing their data here will affect every other place in the LiveChat app. For example, changing their name in the Details tab will affect how they’re displayed in the LiveChat Archives section, Traffic section, or in ongoing chats!

Effortless customer filtering and segmentation

At the top of the section you can find filters. Use them to find and target a very specific group of users. For instance, users who chatted with you on Chat Widget from a specific country.

With so many options, it would be really painful to set up the filters over and over again every time you log in to LiveChat. This is why we came up with segments. Segments are filter combinations you can save for later and access quickly.
