Why choose telegram chat as a customer service tool?
There are a few key reasons why some customers prefer Telegram to other messaging services, such as:
Telegram’s official components are open-sourced
WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger both are owned by Meta, which some users prefer to avoid as a result of the company’s previous data leaks and privacy issues. Telegram, as a platform with open-sourced components, enjoys decentralized security where data and privacy are prioritized.
Cloud-based conversation
If you move devices, your chat is backed up on Telegram. This lets customers come back to messages and maintain a conversation easily across different devices.
Easy file-sharing
Unlike other messaging services, Telegram has a generous file-sharing capacity and users can send multi-media messages up to 1.5GB in size. This makes it easy to share information and broadcast communication to your customers without worrying about reduced quality.
Usernames are used, not numbers
Telegram makes use of unique usernames, rather than private phone numbers. This means customers who might not be comfortable getting in touch using their number have a secure method of contacting your company.
Adding the Telegram Chat widget to your website doesn’t need to be complex with any complicated coding involved. Elfsight’s templatized chat widget makes it easy for you to add the communication tool to your website so that you can offer the best customer support to your users.
