How ChatSignals Works

See how ChatSignals works, from connecting your chat channel to testing your bot and analysing performance to improve customer support automation.

Welcome to ChatSignals! You're on your way to transforming your customer conversations with the power of AI. This guide provides a high-level overview of how ChatSignals seamlessly integrates with your HubSpot account to provide instant, intelligent support.

The Core Idea: Your HubSpot, Supercharged

At its heart, ChatSignals connects directly to your existing HubSpot inboxes. Whether you're using HubSpot's chat widget, email, or other channels, our platform is designed to enhance your team's capabilities without disrupting your workflow.

Imagine your HubSpot account, but smarter. ChatSignals reads conversations in real-time, understands customer intent, and delivers accurate, automated responses in seconds.

The Four-Step Process

The magic happens in a simple, automated loop that runs 24/7:

  1. Message Received: A customer sends a message to one of your connected HubSpot inboxes.
  2. Instant Notification: HubSpot securely notifies ChatSignals of the new message via webhooks.
  3. AI Analysis: ChatSignals' api and data-science services analyse the conversation, search your Knowledge Sources to find the best possible answer, and decide on the best course of action.
  4. Intelligent Response: An AI-generated response is crafted and sent back to the customer through the HubSpot conversation.

This entire process takes just a few seconds, ensuring your customers get the help they need, right when they need it.
