Live chat mobile app
Once your website chat or other messenger channel connected to Activechat starts serving actual customer requests, it may be convenient to provide your live chat agents with the ability to respond from their mobile devices instead of sitting in front of the computer.
Activechat has an advanced live chat mobile app that makes it easy for your agents to accept new chats, use AI-powered live chat hints, transfer conversations to other agents and do anything else that their desktop workspace offers.
Currently, the app is available for Android devices only. The iOS version will be available soon.
Once you install the live chat app on your mobile device, log in with your Activechat account credentials and choose the project (bot) that you'd like to use. You can switch between projects by going back to the home screen of the mobile app.
Choosing the bot project on the live chat mobile app screen
If you need to log in to another account, click the gear icon in the top right corner of the app and choose the "Log out" option.
Choosing one of your bots will take you to the "Conversations" screen which is exactly what you see in your Activechat CRM.

Conversations in the live chat mobile app
On top, you can choose which section of your CRM should be displayed here:
- Chats - conversations that are already happening with your customers
- Leads - website visitors who did not respond to any of your automated messages yet
- Live chats - currently opened live chat sessions
The "Acccept" switch will toggle your current state as a live chat agent (accepting / not accepting new incoming live chats)
If you choose the "Live chats" section, a couple of extra options will appear:

Live chats displayed in the mobile app
With the status dropdown on the left you can choose which live chat sessions to display:
- Active - chats that are happening now
- Queued - chats that are not assigned to an agent yet
- Abandoned - chats where the customer did not get a response from the agent
- Closed - live chat sessions that were successfully resolved
If you have a live chat admin role in your account (read more about roles in Activechat here), the dropdown on the right will allow you to choose between chats assigned to you personally, or all live chat sessions in the bot.
If the customer name is shown in italics, it means that this is a generated name used for convenience. Actual customer names that you can fetch from your backend or acquire in the conversation will be displayed in regular text.
The name will be populated with values from the $_firstname and $_last_name attributes. Read more about customer attributes here.
When you tap a specific user name in the conversations list, the customer profile and conversation history will be displayed.
