How does Wati help with customer support?
It allows your agent to pull up previous chat histories and contact details instantly. This means your agent has the context needed to provide faster, more accurate help.

You can. Your agent can add new leads, update existing contact attributes, and list your entire subscriber base to keep your data organized.
Is it possible to send images using this Connector?
Yes, the Connector includes a capability to send media messages, so your agent can share photos or videos directly with your customers.
