This comprehensive guide explores the mechanics of implementing self-service chat for omnichannel communication, its benefits, best practices, and real-world examples tailored for South African enterprises.
Self-service two-way chat enables enterprises to provide interactive communication options for customers, allowing them to engage via SMS, social media platforms, websites, and chat applications.
