Marketing Chats:

Marketing Chats in BIK allows you to view all messages sent to customers, including those who have not yet interacted with your business.

Unlike Helpdesk, which only shows chats with customers who have already engaged with BIK, Marketing Chats provides a comprehensive view of all outbound and inbound communications across all channels.

Entry Points to View Marketing Chats:

1. Journeys Home Page:

  • Navigate to the Journeys home page.
