## Description

[Kayako Messenger](https://www.kayako.com/live-chat-software/) is effortless live
chat software.

**Designed for customers**

#### A modern messaging experience

Your customers message their friends every day using messengers: now they can message
your team with the same ease.

#### Never miss a message again

Customers can start conversations at any time, even when your team aren’t online.
If your customer steps away and doesn’t see your message, Kayako will send messages
to their email, so they can continue the conversation.

When your customer goes back to your website, they’ll be able to pick up the conversation
there too. No need to start the conversation all over again, and no need for your
customer to repeat themselves.

#### Proactively engage with personality

been so personal.

Messenger is mobile web ready.

#### Put everything in one place

Connect your support email and social inboxes to Kayako. Unify customer conversations
across channels and work smarter.

#### See your customer’s activity at a glance

Use apps and integrations to log page views, orders, shipping history, and Help 
Center searches, or capture events from your own product, app, or service and see
it all in real-time during conversations.

#### Be more productive

Automate manual elements, use canned responses and macros to blast through your 
live chat conversations.

### 󠀁[Great modern chat!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-modern-chat/)󠁿

 [joswp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joswp/) February 11, 2018

Superb chat widget that works out of the box, and also identifies users so they 
do not need to identify again in the chat. It also has a clean and modern look, 
extremely customizable. Congrats to developers!
