Why can't guest automatically convert to customer?

Chatty doesn't automatically convert guest to customer to maintain data accuracy and protect your customers' experience:

  • Prevents duplicate or inaccurate customer profiles: Automatic conversion could create multiple profiles for the same customer or generate profiles with incomplete information.

  • Protects customer login access: Creating customer accounts without verification could prevent customers from accessing their actual accounts later.

What you can do instead:

  1. Review guest information manually before creating customer profiles

  2. Create customer profiles with validated information

Manage customers

Block customers

You can block a customer so that you do not get any messages from that customer.

In their conversation, in the right panel, click Block user and confirm.

Customers who get blocked won't be notified that they're block. They can still message you in the chatbox, but they cannot receive replies.

Delete customers

You can delete customers in Contacts, where you can manage customer information.
