Messaging Integrations — Overview
AI SmartTalk lets you meet customers wherever they are while keeping one shared inbox for your team.
Every entry point below can be connected in minutes; after that, all messages land in Chat with a channel-specific icon.
How it works
- Connect a messaging service from the list below (OAuth / dropdown / support ticket, depending on the service).
- AI SmartTalk subscribes to incoming events (webhooks, APIs).
- When someone writes to you, a new thread is created in Chat.
- The assistant replies using the same knowledge base and tone settings, no matter which service the user chose.
Unified experience — Your agents see Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Slack, SMS, and Web conversations in one place, with real-time sync and rich context.
Available entry points
| Icon | Service | Quick action | Docs |

Web Chat is enabled by default via the embed widget and does not require an extra integration step.
Frequently asked questions
