Salesforce LiveMessage – A Next Gen Messaging Service

With Social media creating a lot of boom in the current generation as one of the exceptional resources in conveying information, people use various messaging and SMS apps to communicate with their friends. Chat apps such as Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Google Hangouts, and WhatsApp are quickly becoming the primary ways through which people interact. In response to that, Salesforce introduced LiveMessage last year, a messaging platform that empowers companies to engage with customers through the messaging apps they love, such as Facebook Messenger and SMS/MMS—all directly within the world’s #1 customer service platform, Salesforce Service Cloud. With LiveMessage, customer service agents can have access to Salesforce data, while also having conversations with multiple customers simultaneously.— which leads to a more informed conversation between both parties.
Salesforce LiveMessage also supports bots for simple interactions that do not require a live human. Salesforce even provides a LiveMessage API dubbed “Bring Your Own Bot (BYOB)” for companies to incorporate their own third party bots. Because Salesforce offers an open, API-first platform, companies can easily connect existing bots using the LiveMessage API for a BYOBot.
