Hi Sarah, I can see the duplicate charge on your account. I've initiated a refund which will appear in 3-5 business days. Is there anything else I can help with?

Governed Inbox

Every channel in one governed inbox

Agents see SLA status, labels, and ownership the moment they open a thread. Captain offers drafts in the right language for an agent to review, and private notes stay visible for handoffs.

  • Auto-assignment and VIP routing keep priorities clear, with agent capacity limits on Enterprise
  • Private notes and mentions keep specialists aligned without leaving the thread
  • Captain drafts in the right language for an agent to review and send
  • Collision detection stops double replies; Enterprise audit logs record sign-ins and configuration changes
  • Custom permission sets and per-inbox membership protect sensitive data

Workflows your support team will actually use

Concrete plays you can launch in the first week.

High-volume triage

Keep queues moving with label and language-aware routing.

  • Route by label, language, and plan tier automatically
  • Captain drafts responses per channel; agents edit and send
  • Off-hours replies keep users informed until agents return

Quality assurance at scale

Keep tone and compliance consistent across agents and channels.

  • Macros and saved replies tuned for brand tone
  • Captain rewrites and improves a draft before an agent sends it
  • Audit logs capture sign-ins and configuration changes

Handoff to specialists

Move complex issues to SMEs without losing context or SLA momentum.

  • Mentions and private notes bundle context
  • Sidebar keeps plan, labels, and past conversations visible
  • SLA chips persist through reassignment

Executive escalations

Handle VIP or crisis threads with controlled visibility and fast updates.

  • VIP queue with stricter SLAs and owners
  • Private notes for exec updates without CC chains
  • Audit trail for post-incident reviews

Common questions

What support leaders ask before rolling out Chatwoot.

How fast can we migrate to Chatwoot?

Most teams connect channels and publish macros in a day. SLA policies and automation rules, which are on the Business and Enterprise plans, usually follow in the same week.

Does Captain ever send a reply on its own?

Agent-facing drafts always wait for an agent to review, edit, and send. Captain Assistant can answer common questions automatically when you enable it, and hands off to an agent whenever needed.

Can Chatwoot enforce SLAs by queue or tier?

Yes. SLA policies on the Business and Enterprise plans set first response and resolution targets, and automation rules route by label, language, and plan so each queue gets its own timers and alerts. Agent capacity, which caps how much work each agent is assigned, is on the Enterprise plan.

What about data security?

Chatwoot is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, with a DPA available, and every user can turn on two-factor authentication. SSO/SAML, custom permission sets, and audit logs are on the Enterprise plan.

Do we need engineers to manage automations?

No. Automation rules on the Business and Enterprise plans are no-code, and you can still extend with webhooks or the REST API when needed.
