CINNOX chat works the same way as any instant messaging application. You can send and receive instant messages to and from visitors using an internet connection.

Your website visitors and customers can chat with you using the CINNOX Widget's Tag Directory, Staff Directory, or click-to-action (CTA) button. They can also reach you through the Weblinks and QR codes you share or post in marketing campaigns and advertisements or by sending a message on your Facebook Pages.

You can answer and attend to these messages as enquiries on your CINNOX service. CINNOX lets you switch between calls and chat, depending on the support and response your business support operations need. You can also switch between rooms and reply to messages from your Space group chats.

An open enquiry is displayed in the Enquiry Panel until a staff member has picked up the enquiry or reached the maximum waiting time.
