What it does for you

Customers reach out from everywhere: live chat on your website, WhatsApp messages, social media comments, and emails. Here, every inquiry lands in a unified team inbox, routing conversations to available agents, displaying complete customer history before replying, and preventing lost messages across personal phones. All conversations stay on a server we host for you in Egypt.

Alternative to

If you are looking for an alternative to Intercom, Zendesk, or Respond.io, or an official shared WhatsApp inbox for your team, this replaces:

  • Official WhatsApp Business API integration.
  • Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, Telegram, email inboxes, and SMS channels.
  • Conversation assignment: Manual or automatic round-robin routing to specific agents and teams.

  • Canned responses (macros) for replying to frequent inquiries in two keystrokes.
  • Conversation labels and filters by topic, urgency, or customer status.
  • Automation rules such as escalating complaints to senior support teams.
  • Business hours configuration with automated out-of-office responses.

Arabic and hosting in Egypt

  • Arabic: The admin console is partially localized with remaining screens in English; Arabic customer messages render completely, and the customer-facing website chat widget displays in Arabic. We can complete console translation under customization.
  • Hosting: We host it for you in Egypt, sizing server capacity to your support agent headcount and message volume (infrastructure design).

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Intercom or Zendesk?

Yes, for customer communications: website live chat, WhatsApp, social channels, and email in one inbox with agent routing, internal notes, reports, and knowledge bases. The difference is zero per-agent recurring seat fees, with conversations hosted in Egypt.

Can multiple employees respond from a single WhatsApp number?

Yes, the business phone number connects to the inbox, allowing your entire team to reply concurrently with clear audit logs showing which agent sent each reply.

What is the difference between it and customer helpdesk ticketing?

The unified inbox is built for fast, real-time conversational messaging across multiple channels. For complex client issues requiring formal ticket numbers, SLAs, and escalation queues, choose customer helpdesk and ticketing, and both systems can integrate together.

Does it work on mobile phones?

Yes, using native mobile apps for Android and iOS.

Our limits

  • WhatsApp messages route through Meta's cloud infrastructure outside Egypt; we integrate solely through the official WhatsApp Business Cloud API, avoiding fragile unofficial scraping tools.
  • The software is from its developer (Chatwoot); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
