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:

Review guest information manually before creating customer profiles
Create customer profiles with validated information

Block customers

You can block customer to not get any message from that customer.

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

After blocking user, you won't get any messages from customers. Customer who get blocked won't be notified that they're block. They can still message you in the chatbox but receive replies.
