SilentChat

Live chat with one inbox for the whole team

Visitors ask on your website, your team answers in real time. Everything that comes in sits in one list — sorted by what has been waiting longest.

The SilentChat inbox with four open conversations, each with subject and age.

In short

With SilentChat's live chat, your team answers questions from website visitors in real time. Conversations land in a shared inbox and can be assigned, handed over to a department or merged. Internal notes, canned responses, file sharing and a team chat for questions between colleagues are included — in the browser and on your phone.

HOW IT WORKS

From click to answer

  1. Visitor writes

    In the chat window on your website, no sign-in needed.

  2. The conversation is routed

    Manually, round robin or to whoever is least busy.

  3. Your team answers

    With canned responses, files and notes the visitor never sees.

  4. Closing with a rating

    After the conversation, the visitor gives up to five stars.

What it takes off your team's plate

1

Searching for open conversations

Chats, offline messages and tickets sit in one list, and the counters show what's waiting.

2

Typing the same thing twice

Pull recurring answers into the input field with “/” and a shortcut.

3

Passing things on by shouting across the room

Hand over to a colleague or a department, with the full history — including what the AI said.

What it looks like

The team chat with the “kundenservice” channel: colleagues coordinate, one message links straight to a customer conversation.
The team chat: questions between colleagues, linked to the customer conversation — without the visitor seeing any of it.
Three departments — customer service, technical and sales — with topics and member counts, and the smart routing switch above.
Departments: conversations go to the responsible group. If you like, the AI assigns the first message to a topic.

Departments & routing

Sales, technical, billing: conversations go to the responsible group — manually, round robin or by workload. Smart routing uses AI to assign the first message to a topic.

Included from Growth

Team chat

Direct messages and groups with @mentions and files. A message can link to a customer conversation; only the recipient sees a direct message.

Included from Starter

Files in the chat

Screenshot, invoice, receipt: common image, PDF and Office formats plus ZIP are allowed. You decide per widget whether visitors may send files.

Included from Starter

Emoji reactions

A quick sign instead of a reply — for conversations that would otherwise end with “Thanks!”.

Included in every plan

Data protection and live chat

Conversations and files are stored with SilentChat in Germany (Hetzner). You decide how long they are kept in the data retention settings.

A preview of what the visitor is typing can be switched off per widget and is off by default. Visitors, in turn, never see what your team writes before it is sent.

Frequently asked questions

Manually, round robin or to the person with the fewest open conversations. With departments, conversations also go to the responsible group.

Yes. The dashboard runs in your phone's browser and can be added to the home screen like an app. New messages arrive as browser notifications.

No. Your team, in turn, can see what the visitor is typing if you switch on this preview per widget — it is off by default.

Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP), PDF, text and CSV files, Word and Excel documents and ZIP archives — provided you've allowed files for the widget.

That depends on the plan; the pricing page lists how many seats each plan includes. Enterprise has no limit.
