Frequently asked questions
Common questions, answered.
A quick guide to choosing the right customer channel for your business.
01Which is better for getting enquiries: website chat or WhatsApp?
It depends on where customers first contact you. Website chat helps visitors get answers while browsing. WhatsApp is useful when customers already prefer to message your business.
02Can I use both website and WhatsApp chatbots?
Yes. You can use the two channels for different parts of your customer journey. Confirm the right configuration for your business with the VSCRM AI team.
03Can my team reply instead of the AI?
For website chatbot conversations, your team can review conversations and send manual replies from the workspace.
04Can the assistants answer questions from my business content?
VSCRM AI can use configured business knowledge such as pages, PDFs, FAQs and documents. The answers depend on the information you provide and the channels you configure.
05How does VSCRM AI pricing work?
VSCRM AI uses credit top-ups rather than mandatory recurring subscription plans. Credits do not expire. See the pricing page for current terms and usage details.
