Chat

Messaging in the same app as the call.

Team chat inside the NCS app, beside calls and meetings, and chat queues for teams that answer their customers by chat.

Who it is for

Providers whose customers want messaging included in the service they already buy, rather than in another app with another bill.

  • Messaging included in the service you sell
  • One identity across calls, meetings and chat
  • Chat queues and chat agents for customer teams
